The specs on the web page you reference state - 
 - "Minimum pad height 4"/102mm"
Isn't that the minimum height of the steel arms (and pads)
that need to go under the vehicle before lifting?

I don't think there is any concrete "pad" spec called put -
at least not on that page. I agree that 4" concrete seems
too little - but I'm not a concrete engineer.
