No pics, but if I'm doing heavy work, I anchor to floor bolts as well. I don't trust the narrow jack base 100%.
It doesn't take much to drill out a couple holes in the floor and insert some anchor points. Of course you have to use the same spot in the garage/shop, but that probably happens anyway.
Maybe overkill, but I had a bike go over on my one time and I don't want to have that happen again.

^^^^That is a good idea. Do you remove the anchors, when not in use? And if so, what did you use in the floor?

My cheap lift is fairly stable (at least with the Sporty on it), just had to place something under the tire when removing front, or rear wheel.

I just use regular lead inserts and a bolt with a washer on it that allows the hook to grab.

You can remove the bolt and leave the anchor in the floor, which I do, or you could probably remove the anchor as well. There are a lot of choices.

Hell, you could even bolt a strap anchor down that would lay flat when not in use and wouldn't hurt anything if driven over.

Options are unlimited.
