Foundation Plan:
To come up with the correct size of the foundation we have done the following
static calculation. This calculation considers the worst case scenario, where the
stability given by the soil and the weight of the products are ignored.
Maximum user weight:
480 kgs (with safety factor of 4, two times for
dynamic load, two as a safety factor)
Arm length: 0,8 meters
Size of concrete:
0,8 m * 0,8 m * 0,8 m
Weight of concrete: 0,8 m* 0,8 m* 0,8 m *2200 kg/m³ = 1126 kgs
Torque at the top created by the user:
0,8 m*480 kgs = 384 kgs
Torque at the bottom created by the concrete:
754*0,4 = 450 kgs
450 kgs > 384 kgs
Drawings are given below. As it is difficult to dig a hole with exact dimensions, as
long as the dimensions given are used as a minimum and at least 0,5 m³ of
concrete is used (1 m³ for SD 09 and SD 10), similar concrete sizes will be ok.
The concrete that is used for the foundation should be minimum C25 grade.
A ground anchor that is provided with the equipment is to be left in the concrete.
It is imperative that:
A. The ground anchor is level with the ground, only the bolts protruding as shown
in the drawings
B. The ground anchor is flat and centers the concrete
C. The bolts of the ground anchor is free of any concrete
D. The assembly is not done until the concrete fully cures
SD 01-08 have only one central post, thus only one anchor per product. SD 09
and SD 10 have two central posts and a double anchor (also provided). Therefore
SD 09 and SD 10 have a larger foundation. Even though SD 09 and 10 both have a
double foundation, the distances between the foundations are not the same. So
the anchors are also different and should be ordered separately.
There are three types of installations that can be done depending on the
surfacing. Please note that the type of surfacing used requires that we modify
what is shipped. So it is imperative that you let us know the type of surfacing to
be used during ordering so that we ship the appropriate items.
