ABSTRACT:
A floor anchor and leveler system for an electronic equipment rack has a leveler shaft welded or otherwise rigidly attached at the upper end to a perpendicular base plate. A leveler foot and jam nut threads onto the leveler shaft. A threaded bolt extends coaxially through the leveler shaft and engages a floor plate which is rigidly attached to the floor using anchor bolts or other means. The jam nut and leveler foot are loosely threaded onto the leveler shaft, sufficiently high to allow the caster to contact and roll on the floor. The rack is positioned on its casters until each of the floor anchor and leveler systems, which are each attached to an underside of the rack, is located and centered above its corresponding threaded floor plate anchor hole. After positioning the rack, a tie-down bolt is installed coaxially through each leveler shaft and loosely engages the threaded floor plate and anchor hole. Each leveler foot is adjusted vertically to a desired position and the jam nut is tightened to lock the position. The tie-down bolts are then torqued to specification to securely anchor the leveled rack to the floor.
