UF-2200EH-X
3. Preparing and Installation
3.1 Site Selection
The hydraulic UTV lift is designed only for indoor use. Application in a room with explosion hazard is not recommended.
Setting in a wet place, a car wash bay for instance, is also not recommended. Make sure to check the desired location for
possible obstructions such as a low ceiling, overhead lines, adequate working area, access ways, exits, etc.
3.2 Surface Condition / Foundation & Anchoring
The UF-2200EH-X hydraulic frame lift should be installed on level surface. The foundation must be 4” minimum
thickness concrete, with a minimum compressive strength of 3,000 psi. Failure to meet the foundation requirement
may cause the lift instability or personal injury. There should also be no floor seam under end ramps roller locations.
Installing on asphalt, soft clay floor or near the expansion gap is prohibited.
FOUNDATION and ANCHORING REQUIREMENTS
1. Concrete shall have compression strength of at least 3,000 PSI and a minimum thickness of 4” in order
to achieve a minimum anchor embedment of 3.0”. NOTE: When using the standard supplied 3/8” x
3-3/4” long anchors, if the top of the anchor exceeds .5” above the floor grade, you DO NOT have
enough embedment.
2. Maintain a 6” minimum distance from any slab edge or seam. Hole to hole spacing should be a minimum
6” in any direction. Hole depth should be a minimum of 4”.
3. DO NOT install on asphalt or other similar unstable surface.
4. Using the horseshoe shims provided, shim each corner of base as required until base is level.
5. Torque anchors to 50 ft-lbs. Shim thickness MUST NOT exceed 1/4” when using the 3-3/4” long anchors
provided with the lift.
6. If anchors do not tighten to 50 ft-lbs. installation torque, it’s recommended to replace the concrete under
base with a 4’ x 4’ x 6” thick 3,000 PSI minimum concrete pad keyed under and flush with the top of
existing floor. Allow concrete to cure before installing lifts and anchors (typically 2 to 3 weeks).
ANCHORING TIPS
1. Use a concrete hammer drill with a carbide tip, solid drill bit the same diameter as the anchor shield, 5” -
(.50 to .55 inches diameter). Do not use excessively worn bits or bits which have been incorrectly
sharpened.
2. Keep the drill in a perpendicular line while drilling.
3. Let the drill do the work. Do not apply excessive pressure. Lift the drill up and down occasionally to
remove residue to reduce binding.
4. For better holding power blow dust from the hole.
5. Carefully tap anchor into hole. Do not damage threads. Tap anchor into the concrete until anchor hex
nut and flat washer are against base plate. Do not use an impact wrench to tighten!
6. Tighten the anchor hex nut until tightened to 50 ft-lbs. torque.
Failure in accomplish the foundation requirement may cause the lift instability or personal injury.
Installing on asphalt, soft clay floor or near the expansion gap is prohibited.
