Hello everyone. I’m looking for opinions on shop floor drains. My initial plan was using 4 12x12 basin drains (marked by the red circles) but I’ve been debating if I’d be better off doing two long trench drains (blue) or maybe a trench drain on the right and the basins on the left. For a little...

I found some lifts advertised that are coming out of a repair shop, bendpak MX-10ACX, 10,000lb, manufactured in 2003. They’re $500 apiece, buyer takes down. That obviously a dang good price, but is the $2500-3000 savings worth having a 20 year old lift vs a new one?

Hello ladies and gents, I’m in the planning stages of a 40x60 shop and open to any suggestions/ideas y’all might have. A few plans I have are 2 12x10 or 12x12 doors in the 60’ side of the shop and I plan to put heat in the floor. Aside from that, I’m all ears.
