SR Siderail Truck Scale Assembly Instrucitons
5.0 Install Anchor Bolts and Grout
Each mount requires two anchor bolts to prevent lateral motion or uplift. 7" x 3/4"
anchor bolts with expansion heads as shown at right are supplied with the scale.
After anchor bolts are set, epoxy/cement grouting is required to distribute the
baseplate load evenly to the foundation.
5.1 Anchor Bolts
Use an industrial hammer drill with a 3/4" carbide masonry bit at least 36" long to drill
anchor bolt holes. This long bit allows the drill body to clear the siderail so the hole can be
drilled nearly vertical. Hold the bit as close to vertical as possible and drill a 3/4" hole at least
6" into the concrete beneath each anchor bolt slot on both sides of the baseplate.
Place a washer and nut on each anchor bolt to protect the threads and drive anchors into
drilled holes until washer is solid against baseplate. Tighten nuts until the heads expand and
the bolts are solidly anchored.
5.2 Grouting
Erect temporary dams around each baseplate and inject 9,000 psi non-shrinking,
epoxy/cement grout. Take care not to leave air voids; the baseplate must have
even support from continuous grout contact.
