Yes - I have a full 2 post hoist, and it is supposed to be bolted in to 6" of concrete.
4" bolts require.
Depends how you get it installed, but I got away with not having to cut the slab. But basically if you want to install a post hoist you need to know in advance before pouring the slab. It is about the weight and balance on the hoist - not tearing the bolts out of the slab.
If you know what you are doing you can work around it.
Best money I spent. Would not be without it. 930 is on it now waiting for clutch bits (last 2-3 months). Once that is done another vehicle will move in, for sure.
