I don't think so on a Rotary Revolution 4-Post. They have a caster option on those so you can move the lift around.

its safety approval is based on it being bolted. The existance of casters is interesting to say the least. I called them on this, and got a lot of hemming and hawing.

Just to confirm what G Rides said, you do not bolt to the floor and it does come with casters to move the lift around if you need to. The lift is extremely stable and there is no movement whatsoever. They also come with drip trays so nothing will leak down on whatever you have below.

Sounds like your happy with it, I love our Rotary 2-Post. I guess I should've noted that the casters I mentioned are retractable so the lift is only on wheels when you want to move it.

On my lift, the casters are removable. I don't have them on since I don't plan on moving the lift anywhere. Yes, I am very happy with my lift. I didn't want any of my cars outside in the winter. I have three cars and a two car garage so I got lucky that my ceiling is a bit over 12'........

You need a Wayne Dalton Idrive garage door opener. It will eliminate the hanging motor.

No problem I have had mine in for over a year and it works great it also gives the garage a much more open feel.

If the lift is sitting on top of the Racedeck, do you guys see any deformation or compression of the tile?

its hard to tell but no significant difference yet.
