2.3.1.3 Floor Anchoring
The system’s floor anchors are designed for use
only
on concrete floors that meet the minimal
166 mm (6.5") concrete floor requirements.
CAUTION
!
For concrete floors thinner than 166 mm or different floor types other anchoring methods might be
required. These must comply with the minimum load requirements (see
) and must be installed and tested at the customer’s expense, by the customer’s
structural contractor. The selected anchoring method must have a pulling tensile force of 19.7 kN on each
of the anchors bolting the NM gantry to the floor.
In such a case, the alternative anchors shall be installed during system installation, and this must be
coordinated with the installation team. For anchor point information, see
