I'm looking to purchase a Jib crane for my work. I've been in talks with a company who gave me the following information. The over turning moment is 60,833 in-Lb and the bolt pullout force is 2150 lbs. Using a recommended safety factor of 4, I should design around a bolt pullout force of 8600 lbf.I'm not sure the compressive strength of my concrete, but can I just assume 2500 psi? I would like to stay away from reinforcing the concrete if possible. I do know my concrete is 6' thick.I've been looking at the 3/4' Red head wedge anchor and the pullout strength at an embedded depth of 4.75' is 10561 lbs,My question is there anything else I should consider when looking for anchors?

RE: Jib Crane Anchor Bolts (Structural) 11 Jul 13 16:06. You may want to look into using Hilti HSL anchors.
. Drill holes in plywood and use as a locator for anchor bolts. NOTES:. Hand hole covers are attached to pole. RAB drilled (non-tenon) poles come pre-drilled for 2 area lights at 180° Additional fixture mounting holes may be drilled in the field. 4 1/4” Bolt Protection Pre-drilled 3 holes on this side not plugged Pre-drilled, plugs installed.

Modify to suit.Dik RE: Jib Crane Anchor Bolts (Structural) 11 Jul 13 20:55. You are worrying about the wrong thing. Not saying the anchors are unimportant, but a 6' slab is not adequate for support of a jib crane.Agreed.
What transfers your moment and vertical load to the ground?Also, with just a 6' base material thickness you're not going to get much embedment depth allowed.Download Profis, it's free and will check the anchors for you. Use cracked concrete to be safe, and 2,500 psi is a good assumption.You'll be wanting to remove the slab and place a thicker larger slab with dowels into the (e). I am thinking more like 12' thick, min.Click on Link below for Profis.PS Maybe hokie can size that footing for your assuming 1000 or 1500 psf soil bearing capacity.RE: Jib Crane Anchor Bolts (Nuclear) 14 Jul 13 01:14. OK.So assume he doesn't want to cut out the 6 inch concrete floor and replace it with 12 inch deep slab over a region wide enough to anchor the jib crane.Could he 'back-calculate' how wide a frame he needs to reduce the anchor bolt loads enough so a 6 inch slab would work? That is, he figures out how many anchor bolts (4x, 8x, 12x?) over what area of concrete would allow him to stay below the pull-out stress of a 6 inch nominal slab of 2500 psi concrete? Then, obviously, he'd have to connect that frame to the floor, then the jib crane to the frame.
