Definitely no grit.
One of the big benifits of painting is it makes cleanup so easy.
Oil spill - wipe it up. Dirt and dust - use a broom.
If you use grit it it would be a PITA to clean up.
The other benefit of paint is that if you do end up having to roll around under a vehicle for some reason - it’s sooo much easier to slide around on smooth paint.
I’ve just got a generic industrial polyurethane concrete paint.
I don’t find it slippery at all, although if you left a pool of oil and came sprinting into the shed I’m sure it would be pretty slick.
I don’t move that fast nowadays…
I picked up my 3.7T tiff lift 2 post clear floor hoist for $1700 used.
It’s 3 phase, but I just run it with a cheap Chinese VFD that does 1ph 230v input, and 3 phase 400v output to the motor. About $200 from AliExpress.
Son in law went the other way and replaced the 3 phase hydraulic pack with a single phase one.
About $500 delivered from eBay.
