Abstract:
A two vehicle cantilevered lift comprising a stiff support for the cantilevered lift, said support being sized so as to be resistant to twist and torque loads, and including two hollow columns spaced from one another so as to resist said torque and twist loads resulting when servicing a vehicle, said support having a base plate with openings for selective alignment with openings provided in a concrete floor or footing, said support being braced to the base plate, the openings in said floor having disposed therein an anchoring member comprising a compressible sleeve having a predetermined diameter and a threaded piston, having a predetermined diameter slightly larger than the sleeve and being contained in said sleeve and having a threaded internal or interior wall for receiving an anchor bolt and having a substantially tapered outer wall wherein as the bolt is fastened to a predetermined torque, the piston rises in the sleeve and expands the sleeve compressing the sleeve outwardly against the concrete surrounding the opening to anchor the sleeve and the bolt in the base plate, said support including framework to movably engage and support two cantilevered vehicle lifts moveable between a first lowered vehicle access position and a second raised vehicle service position respectively for a vehicle, each lift being affixed to said support separately and including cantilevered arms extending therefrom to support a vehicle, each cantilevered lift having a separate drive provided therefore, wherein a vehicle may be lifted by each cantilevered lift without interfering with the adjacent cantilevered lift.
