In the world of steel, cables and weld, 10,000 lbs does not even scratch the surface. A decient weld is 70,000lbspsi, a bad one 20,000 psi. Heck 4 post 8,000 lb lift is only 2400 lbs per leg (including weight of lift), load bearing is 16psi on the floor if you have a 12"x12" (144in^2) plate on the bottom of the leg which is standard. Standard home depot quickrete is 3000 psi compressive strenght.

You can haul your groceries in a dump trunk or an escort, they both work great but one is overkill.
