Something I came across: Four Post Lifts, Heavy Duty Lifts, Truck Lifts and Specialty Garage Lift Accessories (mohawklifts.com)

They have some structural docs if you search.

Here is the actual slab requirements for all Mowhawk lifts:

You will find that it's essentially the exact same as the other link I posted from BenPak Lifts.

The A-7 requires a 4 1/2 inch thick, #6 rebar spaced at 12 inches reenforced slab.

Very nice,

What brand is that? I've been looking at Rotary, Mohawk, Challenger and BendPak. The quality seems about the same but some times thousands of dollar difference in price.

Many of them are. What you really want to do is make sure whatever lift you buy is ALI certified. If it is, you're good to go. If it isn't, I'd be concerned.

By the way. I don't know too many other people that ride a unicycle, nice. I kind of gave it up since I couldn't go for a ride without being questioned. Looking into getting a geared one but they seem way over priced for what you get, IMO.

I have been riding powerful motorcycles for almost five decades. I’ve done a lot of crazy things on them, had some serious close calls, and a couple of get offs.

But! I guarantee you I would have a cracked skull and or be dead the first 30 seconds I set my arse on a unicycle.

Well the one nice thing (if there is a nice things) about falling off a unicycle is that you are already in a "standing" position (sort of) so as long as you are fairly fast on your feet (and you don't get tangled in the unicycle) you can usually come out of it standing up, usually

Obviously, you've never seen me bust my ***.

I could understand that if it were a tandem you went out on yourself. But there is something to be said on that subject as I pulled my first bird on a pedal bike Anyway tried the unicycle many times and just could not get there, gave up, and that is not like me.

Using the "learning sticks" sucks. I used the hallway in my house. I could then keep my hands on both walls as I mastered the front/back balance. Took me about 3 weeks.

I did do a header into a corner once, Luckily I use much younger

Questions like: Hey is there a circus here? Do you work in a circus? Are you a clown?

My immediate response, that I usually kept in my head, ended with .... you *******
