Help please, I just finished building my cabinet apparently it’s very heavy and can only be lifted by 6 -8 people conveniently. 96x28x32 inches. It will be put on the sons floor of my house. My house was constructed using I beams, rebars for flooring and some sort of metal sheet that stayed in place after pouring the cement. I have hardwood flooring on top of the cement.
my question is can I put a 360g tank (Dt + sump) and my cabinet about 600kg or more in an area of my house without any risk?
My tank and cabinet will be lifted by a crane going thru my window. Please please help.
Attached are photos of my house during the time it was being built. The area on top near the tower is where I will put my tank.

I would suggest talking to an engineer maybe. Poured concrete is very solid,but very heavy in itself. 360 gallons of water is a ton of weight. You might be fine but I would talk to a pro on this one.
 
any updates on your issue would be appreciated, Just wondering if you were able to set that 360g tank as you wanted!
