SECURING STRENGTH EQUIPMENT

Matrix recommends that all stationary strength equipment be secured to the floor or wall to stabilize equipment
and eliminate rocking or tipping over. Matrix requires specific pull-out force requirements shown below. Use a
licensed contractor to ensure the required retention force is met.
ALL FLOORING
• Each anchoring fastener must withstand 3.3 kN (750 LBS) pull‐out force from the floor
• Anchor the exercise equipment at all provided locations
• Understand where all bolt‐down points are located on the exercise equipment and mark the locations prior to
drilling holes into the floor
WOOD / TILE / RUBBER OVER CONCRETE SUB FLOOR
• Add the thickness of the flooring material to the overall length of the anchoring fastener when selecting
fastener length to ensure proper embedded depth into concrete flooring
WALL MOUNTING (CONCRETE OR WOOD STUDS)
• Each anchoring fastener must withstand 2.2 kN (500 LBS) pull‐out force from the wall
• Anchor the exercise equipment at all provided wall locations
• When calculating the required overall length of the anchoring fastener to ensure proper embedded depth
into the wall, be sure to account for the thickness of the dry wall / sheet rock, as well as the thickness of
any mounting plate or mounting hardware, such as hardware used to span the distance between wall studs
(such as Unistrut)
Ultra and Versa units need bolt-down plates to be secured to the floor. If you can't locate them from installation,
contact Matrix Customer Technical Support to order more. All other equipment has bolt-down taps on the frame.
