Chapter 4: Bolt to Floor Guide

4.1: Introduction

Life Fitness designs its products to be stable when used as designed. Because strength training is dynamic, we cannot 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.

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.

4.2: Delivery and Installation Tips

All Anchors
  • Fasteners must have minimum embedment in concrete floor, not including screed, regardless of wood/tile/rubber over sub-floor. (See Anchor Types for maximum sub-floor 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 equipment’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” (12.7 mm) 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: 3000 psi (20 N/mm2).
Anchoring
  • 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 Types 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.

Competitor Product

The bolt down guidelines and procedures for Life Fitness products were determined by the company’s Engineering and Installation Development groups. These guidelines include which anchors to use and positioning of the anchors are required for Life Fitness product.

  • Life Fitness does not have that level of specification or engineering input for competitive product.
  • Life Fitness installation teams are not permitted to anchor competitor equipment.
Drilling

It is also recommended to drill an additional 1/2” (12.7 mm) of depth beyond the length of the fastener being used to ensure that debris does not block the entry of the anchor.

  • This can be done by marking your drill bit with a piece of tape.
  • While it is recommended that a vacuum be used to clean up debris, this will not account for all the debris that will settle at the bottom of the drilled hole.

4.3: Anchor Type - Static

Static Anchor Standard Sizes Drill Bit Size
Imperial: KH-EZ 3/8" x 5" 3/8in
Metric: HUS-H 10mm x 130mm 10mm

4.4: Anchor Specifications

Static Anchor Minimum Concrete Thickness Minimum Drill Depth in Concrete Minimum Concrete Embedment Minimum concrete compressive strength

HUS-H 6mm 3-3/32" (100mm) 25/64" (10mm) beyond anchor length 2-1/64” (55mm) 3000psi (20 N/mm2)

4.5: Pullout Force

Life Fitness specifies Hilti™ static and dynamic anchors. According to the anchor manufacturer, the recommended design pullout force (in tension) for the specified anchors, when properly installed in cracked concrete, is provided in the side table. This table should be used for reference only; for additional and up-to-date information on the anchor capabilities or the design pullout force in other substrates, please consult Hilti directly at https://www.us.hilti.com.

4.6: Tools Required

Warning: Adhere to manufacturer’s equipment warnings and guidelines. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for proper usage.
  • 1” L-shape SDS rotary hammer
  • (Imperial anchors) 3/8" diameter carbide drill bit
  • (Metric anchors) 10mm diameter carbide drill bit
  • Extension cord
  • Floor scanner / rebar detector (optional)
  • Hammer (Dynamic anchors only)
  • Rotary tool
  • Safety glasses
  • Tape measure
  • Torque wrench
  • Vacuum (for debris)

4.6.1: Static Anchor

  • Floor scanner / rebar detector (optional)
  • 1” L-shape SDS rotary hammer
  • 1/4" x 12" / 6 mm x 305 mm carbide drill bit (for 1/4” (6mm) anchors)
  • 3/8" x 12" / 8 mm x 305 mm carbide drill bit (for 3/8” (8mm) anchors)
  • Safety glasses
  • Extension cord
  • Impact wrench
  • Vacuum (for debris)

4.7: Static Anchor Procedure

Caution: If it is possible that the length of your bolt will not provide the minimum requirement of 2.5” (63.5mm) of engagement, a longer anchor should be used.
  1. Place unit into position to be mounted and cycle unit to set stance.
  2. Each foot must get at least one static fastener.
  3. Wearing protective glasses, drill down into the flooring to the required depth as perpendicular as possible, ensuring that the foot thickness is being accounted for; refer to Anchor Selection and Foot Dimensions.
  4. Insert fastener and tighten to 18 Foot-Pounds (24Nm) for 1/4” (6mm) anchor or 40 Foot-Pounds (54Nm) for 3/8” (8mm) anchor.
    Note: If the legs/frame do not contact the mounting surface DO NOT pull down with the fastener or anchor. Loosen frame hardware and re-tighten to allow machine to align.
