I had a garage floor poured recently. 4000#, 6" thick (except apron which is up to 12"), over 6" packed gravel base, vapor barrier in between. There is fiber reinforcement and a seal coat. I plan to put in a car lift and several cars. I am in upstate New York and the temperatures have ranged from 70sF to cold enough for our first real frost since pouring. How long should I wait before putting in the lift and cars? Thanks.

Wait until the concrete reaches f'c and then put it into service.
