Current decision is whether to embed my scissor lift into the slab so it's flush with the floor, as has been done by this Pelicaner. https://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/1046287-scissor-lift-garage-floor-help.html
Now would definitely be the easiest time to do it, incorporating it into the slab pour, but I have so far resisted making any big decisions on equipment placement until I get a feel for how it will be. |
I would say use heavy rebar and concrete, as you may find later that you want to work on a larger vehicle, or drive a forklift into the space for example. I probably wouldn't go the scissor lift route unless space becomes an issue. Are you planning to add a washer/ dryer later? You should plan for it. Also, a shop sink, 220V compressor, welder, and some sort of outside 220 plug. I have overhead air, overhead power, floor drain, and inside the wall hose bib in one of my shops and love it.
