1 Set the Foundation
To ensure the stability of the WedgeSmart DC, the foundation must be constructed
in accordance with the following guidelines:
• Excavate a hole for the foundation to house the rebar mat and anchor bolt
assemblies. Soil compression under and around the foundation shall be compacted
to a soil density of 95% of standard proctor (ASTM-698).
• Add gravel where necessary to ensure a solid soil base. Soil must be stable and adequate to support the
weight of the foundation.
NOTICE: Softer soils require a larger footing. Employ the services of a structural or civil engineer for site
specific considerations. In Northern latitudes, consider the frost line.
• The WedgeSmart DC must be installed on a level surface. The chassis and wedge plate must be
plumb, level and on grade with the roadway surface.
NOTICE: Be aware of low clearance vehicles, such as car haulers. Recess the concrete pad accordingly.
• Cure concrete properties, at minimum, 3000 psi with a smooth finish and proper drainage. Slope
drainage ¼-inch per foot within 2 feet of the operator (2 cm per meter).
• Use Anchor Kit MX3460 (Grade B7 threaded steel rod and HIT-RE500 Epoxy adhesive.
A minimum of 4 anchor bolts required to secure each hinge
(6 mounting holes available at each hinge).
