CONCRETE FOUNDATION ANCHORING SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
Manufacturer recommends installation on 2-Post Models use a concrete pad 6 Inch Min.
Thickness / 3,000 PSI (4,000 PSI Recommended)
Before installing your new lift, check the following:
Select Lift Location: Always use architects building plans when available. Check layout dimension against
oor plan requirements making sure that adequate space is available.
Floor Requirements: The lift should be located on a relatively level oor of less than 3 degrees’ slope. If slope
is questionable, consider a survey of the site and/or the possibility of pouring a new level concrete slab. Failure
to do so could cause personal injury or death.
Ceiling Requirements: The area where the lift will be located should be free of overhead obstructions such as
heaters, building supports, electrical lines, etc.…
Defective Concrete: Visually inspect the site where the lift is to be installed and check for cracked or defective
concrete. If site is in question, contact a local inspection agency before installing lift.
DO NOT install on asphalt or other similar unstable surface. Columns are supported only by anchoring to con-
crete oors.
Manufacturer will not be held responsible for any concrete that may not meet slope requirements and will not
be responsible for any charges relating to new concrete slabs pouring or leveling or damage.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND GENERAL NOTES FOR EXPANSION ANCHORS
General Instructions for Installing Concrete Anchors
• These general instructions for the installer are provided to ensure the proper selection and installation of
Anchor Products and must be followed carefully. These general instructions are in addition to the specic
design and installation instructions and notes provided for each particular product, all of which should be
consulted prior to and during the installation Anchor Products.
• Use proper safety equipment.
• Most concrete mixes are designed to obtain the desired properties within 28 days after being cast
• (28-day cure).
• Concrete shall have compression strength of at least 3,000 PSI and a minimum thickness of 6” in order to
achieve a minimum anchor embedment. NOTE: When using the standard supplied ¾” x 5 ½” anchors; if
the top of the anchor exceeds 2 ¼” above the oor grade you DO NOT have enough embedment.
• Maintain a 8” minimum distance from any slab edge or seam. Hole to hole spacing should be a minimum 6
½” in any direction. Hole depth should be a minimum of 6”.
• Do not modify Mechanical Wedge Anchor products. The performance of modied products may be sub-
stantially weakened. Manufacturer will not warrant or guarantee the performance of such modied prod-
ucts.
• Do not alter installation procedures from those set forth in this Manual.
• Drill holes for mechanical anchors with carbide-tipped drill bits meeting the diameter requirements of ANSI
B212.15. A properly-sized hole is critical to the performance of mechanical anchors.
• Rotary-hammer drills with light, high frequency impact is recommended for drilling holes.
• Do not use excessively worn bits or bits which have been incorrectly sharpened.
• Please note that the use of oversized holes’ is NOT permitted for anchoring any lift. DO NOT USE Anchor
Adhesive to ll spacing of oversize holes’. Move lift location or ll holes with Anchor Adhesive and Re-drill
to correct Hole Specication. (See manufacturer for proper anchor adhesive curing times.)
