10AP Series Two-Post Lifts 34 P/N 5900265 — Rev. A6 — December 2022
Effective Embedment is the
location in the Hole where the
Expansion Sleeve presses into the
Concrete. This is where the Anchor
Bolts get their holding strength, the
further down into the Hole, the greater
the holding strength.
Nominal Embedment is how far
down into the Hole the bottom of the
Anchor Bolt is, which does not tell you
anything about the holding strength.
To install the Posts:
Using a Forklift or Shop Crane, move the Posts to the Chalk Line Guides you created earlier.
Carefully stand up each Post, one at a time, and move them to the appropriate location.
Double check your measurements against the Specifications for your Lift model.
Using the Base Plates as guides, drill each hole 4 inches deep using a carbide bit.
Go in straight; do not let the drill wobble.
The diameter of the drill bit must be the same as the diameter of
the Anchor Bolt. If you are using a ¾ inch diameter Anchor Bolt, for
example, use a ¾ inch diameter drill bit.
Do not drill all the way through the Concrete ; if you
punch completely through the slab, you could compromise the
holding strength of the Anchor Bolts.
Vacuum each hole clean.
⚠ WARNING You must use the appropriate safety gear including safety glasses, dust masks,
gloves, steel-toed work boots and heavy work clothes when anchoring the Posts.
BendPak recommends using a vacuum to get the hole very
clean.
You can also use a wire brush, hand pump, or compressed air;
just
make sure to thoroughly clean each hole .
Do
not ream the hole. Do not make the hole any wider than
the drill bit made it.
