Bolt to Floor Guidelines
ACTION
Introduction
Life Fitness designs its products to be stable when used as designed. Because strength training is dynamic, we can-
not predict how users will ultimately use the products in all circumstances. Therefore, Life Fitness recommends that
strength training equipment be secured to a solid, level surface to stabilize and eliminate rocking or tipping over. For
some equipment, securing the equipment to the floor is REQUIRED.
• Any Half Rack with a load of 495 pounds (224kg) or greater.
• Any Half Rack Short Base (HDLHRS).
• Any rack with the optional Wing attached.
• Any unit that will be used with body weight strap training equipment, ropes, straps or chains in which case it is
REQUIRED to be secured to the floor. Each new unit shipped comes with a multi-language hangtag stating the
importance of bolting the unit down as a safety precaution.
It is the facility’s responsibility to adhere to local and regional building codes.
ALL ANCHORS:
• Fasteners must have minimum embedment in concrete floor, not including screed, regardless of wood/tile/rubber
over subfloor. (See Anchor Selection for maximum subfloor thickness between unit and concrete to equipment
foot must be made of flooring or other material (i.e. no air gaps)).
• DO NOT reuse fasteners. Static and Dynamic anchors are designed for one-time use only.
• Factor in equipement’s feet height when selecting fastener length.
• Factor in flooring thickness when selecting fastener length.
• It is also recommended to drill an additional 1/2” (12.7mm) of depth beyond the length of the fastener being used
to ensure that debris does not block the entry of the anchor.
• Minimum concrete compressive strength: 3000psi (20 N/mm2).
Anchoring
• Life Fitness requires that each foot has at least one anchor bolted to the floor.
• All anchors must have a minimum embedment into concrete, regardless of wood/tile/rubber/screed over sub-
floor.
• Dynamic anchors must have a minimum embedment depth in concrete to ensure maximum security and pull out
force. See Anchor Selection for embedment depth minimums.
Building Codes
• It is the facility’s responsibility to adhere to local and regional building codes. Please verify with the customer to
ensure that they are aware of this.
Carpeting
• If bolted down to carpet flooring, be sure to use a box cutter knife to cut the carpet threads around each foot. This
will help avoid the carpet threads from being wrapped around and pulled by the drill bit.
