Floor Information 
Floor Specifications 
The installation site floor must meet certain specifications and 
requirements before the system is installed: 
  The customer must ensure and approve the floor composition and 
strength. 
  The surface of the floor should be a hard, non-compressible surface such 
as bare concrete, wood, or industrial grade floor tile. If the surface is 
compressible/covered (for example, carpets or non-industrial tile), the 
covering should be removed under the press. 
  Mobility (floor) plates are required for any installation occurring on 
carpeting. 
  Additionally, mobility assist devices (supplied by the customer), such as 
masonite or plywood, must be used for installations occurring on 
ceramic tiles, uneven floors (which meet required specifications), or 
carpeting. The mobility assist devices will ensure that the flooring is not 
damaged during the installation process. 
 
Floor Requirements 
The following table lists the floor readiness activities and the person 
responsible for completing that activity. 
 
Activity  Responsible Person
Certify the floor strength from the loading dock 
to the installation site 
Customer (and 
structural engineer) 
Certify the floor strength and composition for 
the installation site 
Customer (and 
structural engineer) 
Certify or remove 
loor covering under press 
location (if applicable) 
Customer (and 
structural engineer) 
 
Floor Strength Information 
As part of the structural inspection process, a structural engineer should 
inspect and approve the site where the system will be installed. 
The customer site floor must safely support the weight of the entire press  
and all its components. This includes the weight of all optional feeding and 
finishing devices that the customer intends to add. Therefore, the 
structural engineer and customer must evaluate and calculate the weight of 
all the modules and optional accessories (including any third-party 
finishing devices) in order to accurately determine the appropriate floor 
strength and weight distribution needed at the installation site. 
For product specification information on all third-party finishing devices, 
refer to the specific third-party customer documentation. 
 
Floor Worksheets 
 
Floors/Floor Coverings Worksheet 
Are the floors or floor coverings along the delivery route concrete or 
industrial tile? 
 Yes     No 
 
If No: Customer  must supply Carriers  with  hardboard/plywood or metal 
plates/Masonite  for  rolling the press over the floors that are not concrete 
or industrial tile. 
 
Raised Floors Worksheet 
Are there any raised floors on the delivery route? 
 Yes     No 
If Yes: Has a structural engineer or the customer signed off/approved that 
the floors meet requirements? 
 Yes     No 
 
If No: Sign off/Approval is required. 
NOTE:  Carriers MUST lift all the raised-floor tiles on the route to ensure 
the support structure integrity. 
NOTE:  Carriers will use hardboard or metal plates (such as masonite or 
plywood) when rolling the press over the raised floor. 
 
Floor Strength/Load Worksheet 
Has a structural engineer or the customer signed off/approved that the 
floor meets requirements? 
 Yes     No 
 
If No: Sign off/Approval is required. 
Is the floor of the pathway route and destination area able to hold the 
combined weight of the press left and right modules (1,248 lb./566.1 kg)? 
 Yes     No 
 
If No: An alternative route/destination site must be considered. 
 
Mobility Plate Information 
Mobility Plates 
  All installations occurring on carpeted flooring surfaces require the 
installation of a mobility plate to allow the product to be moved during 
normal maintenance. 
  Mobility plates are available from your Sales Representative. 
Mobility Plate Kit 
Part number: 497K5270 is the only mobility plate kit that is available for 
the press and its optional feeding/finishing devices. The kit includes the 
following contents: 
  1  Plate 
  4 Bracket assemblies 
  8 Nuts 
  1 set of kit instructions 
 
Each plate is: 
  19.68 in./500 mm (width) x 29.52 in./750 mm (depth) 
  0.12 in./3 mm (thickness) 
  19 lb./8.6 kg 
 
Optional kits must be ordered for any optional feeding/finishing devices 
that are attached to the press. Refer to the next section in this guide for 
specific information on each feeding/finishing device. 
 
Mobility Plate Charts 
The following tables show the number of mobility plates required for the 
base configuration and for the various optional feeding and finishing 
devices. 
 
Base Configuration 
Module name
Required number of kits
Press (Advance HFC + Left and Right 
modules)  
5 kits (3 for the left and right 
modules and; 2 for the 
Advanced HCF) 
 
Optional Devices Chart 
The following table lists the number of ADDITIONAL plates required 
for the various optional devices. The number of plates listed does not 
include the base press (left and right modules and Advanced HCF). 
NOTE:  The Interface Module is required with any system configuration that 
has one or more finishing device, except the Offset Catch Tray (OCT).
