How have you planned the slopes? Should the entire floor slope towards the drains, or do you want it flat in some places? The easiest way to achieve the slopes is to lay Combiform which you can drag a Cykelstyre against at the high points.
The intended slope around the two drains inside the garage doors should fall from 3m front/back and 1.5m side/side for each drain, so melted snow, etc. flows into the drains. Otherwise, a flat floor.
The two smaller drains by the doors only need a local slope so that water poured out, etc. flows down.
As I understand it, will the combined form be visible on the surface of the concrete when finished?

One pulls away the plastic strip on the Combiform during sanding and thus gets nothing visible on the surface. Cracks may occur there when the concrete dries, but you get that regardless. I would have placed such in the joint between the flat and the slope. Also one in between the floor drains, then you pull against them and the floor drains.
Just out of curiosity, what are the reasons/advantages of hårdbetong?
OK
Does hard concrete possibly have a denser surface as well, absorbing less water and other fluids? (oil glycol etc)
Good for, for example, workshops where you drive in cars with studded tires, etc. I would imagine.Matti_75 said:

Yes, there are many advantages, not least the price. The cost for the material ends up at about 50:-/sqm and then it lasts as long as the slab, I've heard, for a regular home garage. Everything is done and dusted when you pour the slab, you don't need to paint or add anything else later.

I'm somewhat tired of this right now. I had booked with someone who was supposed to pour my slab with hard concrete already last fall, but they kept delaying it and suddenly the cold hit, now they have promised and promised to fix it but nothing happens.
So I've started looking for others who can do it, or alternatively do it myself. Everyone is very busy now after the long cold winter. But I don't know, sure I'm handy but a 120 sqm slab with a couple of envelope pitches, you don't want to fail... Can you handle this yourself with 3-4 people if you rent the right tools from Cramo? And above all, how do you do it? I would need to start by figuring out all the steps and all the tips and tricks first
