Woodwardfab tune bender

Got this thing in and put together now have to anchor to the floor somehow. I don’t have enough room to permanently mount it. Thinking about a receiver hitch flush with the floor. Any suggestions?

4 recessed corner concrete anchors. Return the bolts in the floor when not needed so the holes don't fill with trash and dirt. Or maybe use some plastic automotive trim push type plugs so they are almost flush with the floor to fill holes when not in use.

I agree. Threaded inserts in the floor with something to keep the crud out when not installed.

yep, something like this:

i figure 1/2" would fit in those holes in the plate.

This is what i have for my lift. Flush to the ground. i would get some flat panhead type bolts to use when the bender is not bolted down. it will keep the crap out of the threaded holes

My only concern would be the longevity of thread-in anchors. I'm not sure how they would hold up over repeated removal/reinstall. Might want to look into what could be epoxy'd in or grouted in.

This Idea came to me in the night...Quick little drawing. This would be gobs of holding force i think. Might even be able to get by with just 2.

So I’ve decided to go ahead and do the swag off road numatic ram mount. Then it doesn’t need to be mounted to the floor. It can be on wheels. https://www.swagoffroad.com/SWAG-Formed-Tubing-Bender-AirHydraulic-Ram-Mount_p_53.html

Sounds like a better plan all around...

i guess its off topic now, but are you proposing that the 3 bolts would be anchors and the one female would be the bolt that anchors each of the 4 holes in the bender? So basically 4 of those blue plates?

You made the right decision.
