Dear Hilti Engineering Support Team.
I have purchased a Titan 9000 lb 2 post car lift and looking for some recommendations on anchoring it to a concrete floor.
Question:
The position of the lift will have the inside 2 bolts in 3 ½ inch concrete and back 3 in the 7 inches of concrete. Based on Titan’s requirements can I substitute there wedge type anchors with your ¾ inch threaded rod with HY200R V3 adhesive and still meet there requirements.
Based on the design of the lift I feel that the max of 9000 lbs of a vehicle is placing the back three anchors in tension and front 2 in compression. If the back 3 were to start failing then the front two would be in tension also. I have asked Titan for additional information other what is supplied in their installation instructions.
Hi Dan,
The decision of which anchors to install will be up to the Engineer of Record on the project. For information on the HIT-HY 200 V3 with threaded rods, please refer to Section 3.2.2 of Hilti's Anchor Fastening Product Technical Guide. Within the technical information, you will find information on tension and shear values along with installation parameters such a minimum concrete thickness, minimum edge distance, and minimum anchor spacing requirements.
If you have any additional questions, please reach out to hnatechnicalservices@hilti.com or give us a call at 877-749-6337.
Regards,
Ashley
