SP-7XE/F Full-Rise Scissor Lift 19 P/N 5900010 — Rev. B3 — September 2023
New Concrete Slab Requirements
If your existing Concrete does not meet the requirements previously listed, then a New Concrete Slab
may be required.
⚠ CAUTION BendPak strongly recommends working with a Concrete Specialist to plan and
create Concrete Cutouts and/or new Slabs for the SP-7XE and SP-7XEF model.
All properties of the New Concrete Slab are mandatory and must conform to the following
requirements:
• New Concrete Slabs must have a minimum compression strength of 4,000 PSI, cured for at least
28 days, and a surface slope not exceeding 3°.
• New Concrete Slabs must have a minimum thickness of 4.25 in. SP-7XE
(11 in. SP-7XEF).
• New Concrete Slabs must be fully surrounded by and flush with the existing Concrete Floor.
• New Concrete Slabs must be “Keyed-in” around the perimeter or may be “Tied-in.”
• Locate reinforcing bars away from any Anchor positions or at an elevation that allows you to avoid
drilling into reinforcing steel while installing the Expansion Anchors for the Lift.
• Certified strength documentation for New Pours should be obtained from the firm who supplies the
Concrete Mixture at the time of the Pour.
• Never install the Lift over an expansion joint.
• Never install the Lift on hand-mixed concrete.
• Never install the Lift on a secondary floor level without written authorization from the building
Architect and prior approval from BendPak.
• Never drill or cut into a post-tensioned slab. Contact qualified personnel prior to drilling or cutting
to check your floor for the possibility of it being a post-tensioned slab.
Key-In / Tie-In Details
New Concrete Pour must be connected to the existing concrete surrounding it. Two methods are
recommended here, Key-in and Tie in. There is no need to complete both methods, choose
one or the other.
• Key-in. This key-in method undercuts the existing concrete by 6 in. / 152 mm around the
perimeter of the New Pour, effectively locking the New Pour into the existing concrete.
• Tie-in. This tie-in method uses Anchor Dowels and the New Pour. Anchor Dowels are to be #4
Rebar x 18 in. / 457 mm long. These Anchor Dowels are then embedded 3 in. / 76 mm
minimum into the existing Concrete and spaced 18 in. / 457 mm apart around the perimeter of
the New Pour.
