Options.
Interface features
Typically T-slot fields, threaded, reamed or hard bushed holes, keyways and slots — in any combination or zoned across the plate.
Plate fields
Smaller plates set together to cover a large area, laid out to the requirement and reconfigurable later.
Installation
Mounted to the floor, or set into a pit.
Anchoring
Mechanical, chemical, or grouted in for heavier duty applications; the method is determined by the loading — static or dynamic.
Handling
Typically lifting eyes; lifting bar holes in the sides form part of the casting.
Specification notes.
Grade at size
Grade is a function of size, section and finishing method; quotations state the grade achievable at the specified size and section.
Extending later
Fields can be extended or reconfigured; interface feature provisions are designed in from the outset, and additions are manufactured to match the original field.
Civils
The foundation is designed for the task; imposed loads, pit construction and the interface with the finished floor are detailed for each installation. Carried out by us, or by your principal contractor working to our details.
Terminology
Also specified as cast iron floor plates, cast iron T-slotted floor plates, cast iron test beds or cast iron clamping plates.
