Stainless Steel Adjustable Feet

The range includes standard blue rubber adjustable feet, single bolt-down adjustable feet and double bolt-down adjustable feet. With multiple base sizes and thread options available, the most suitable stainless steel load foot can be selected to match equipment weight, mounting requirements, floor condition and operating environment.

Standard blue rubber adjustable feet provide a secure base while helping protect the floor and reduce unwanted movement. The blue rubber material also makes the feet easier to identify in hygiene-sensitive environments.

Single bolt-down feet include one fixing point, allowing machinery or equipment to be secured to the floor while still providing height adjustment. They are suitable where additional stability is required without the need for multiple floor fixings.

Double bolt-down feet feature two fixing points for increased security and resistance to movement. They are commonly selected for larger equipment, machinery exposed to vibration or installations where a more secure floor connection is required.

When selecting stainless steel adjustable load feet, it is important to consider the total equipment weight, number of supporting points, thread size, required adjustment range, base diameter and floor condition. The operating environment and cleaning requirements should also be taken into account.

Correctly specified adjustable feet can help improve equipment stability, simplify installation and maintain accurate levelling. Stainless steel construction also provides a durable solution for demanding environments where standard materials may not be suitable.

Stainless Steel Adjustable Load Feet FAQs

What are stainless steel adjustable load feet used for?

Stainless steel adjustable load feet are used to support, stabilise and level machinery, conveyors, production equipment, workstations, cabinets and other fixed installations.

What ranges are available?

Our stainless steel adjustable load feet are available in three main ranges: standard blue rubber feet, single bolt-down feet and double bolt-down feet.

What are standard blue rubber feet?

Standard blue rubber feet combine a stainless steel threaded stem with a rubber base. The rubber helps improve grip, reduce unwanted movement and protect the floor beneath the equipment.

Why is the rubber base blue?

Blue rubber is commonly used in food, pharmaceutical and hygiene-sensitive environments because it is easy to identify during inspections and cleaning procedures.

What is a single bolt-down adjustable foot?

A single bolt-down foot has one fixing point in the base. This allows the equipment to be secured to the floor while retaining the ability to adjust its height and level.

What is a double bolt-down adjustable foot?

A double bolt-down foot has two fixing points in the base. This provides a more secure connection to the floor and can offer additional stability for larger equipment or applications involving movement and vibration.

Which range should I choose?

Standard blue rubber feet are suitable where floor protection and grip are the main priorities. Single bolt-down feet are ideal where equipment requires one secure fixing point, while double bolt-down feet provide increased security for more demanding installations.

Why should I choose stainless steel adjustable feet?

Stainless steel offers good resistance to corrosion, moisture and regular cleaning. It is a suitable choice for wet, hygienic and demanding environments where standard plated steel components may not provide sufficient protection.

How do adjustable feet work?

The threaded stem can be turned to raise or lower each supporting point. By adjusting the feet individually, equipment can be levelled accurately on floors that are not completely even.

How do I calculate the required load capacity?

Calculate the total weight of the equipment together with anything it will carry. Divide this by the number of feet being used, then include a suitable safety margin for uneven loading, vibration and operational forces.

The selected foot should be capable of supporting the highest load that may be placed on any individual supporting point.

What thread size do I need?

The correct thread size will depend on the mounting holes, threaded inserts or nuts fitted to the equipment. Both the thread diameter and pitch should be checked before ordering.

Why is the base diameter important?

A larger base spreads the load across a wider area of the floor and can provide additional stability. The correct base size will depend on the equipment weight, available space and floor construction.

Can these feet be used on uneven floors?

Yes. The threaded adjustment allows differences in floor height to be compensated for. The amount of adjustment required should be considered when choosing the stem length.

Can stainless steel adjustable feet be used in washdown areas?

Stainless steel adjustable feet are well suited to many washdown and hygiene-sensitive environments. The selected design should be appropriate for the cleaning chemicals, temperatures and conditions present within the application.

Do bolt-down feet need to be fixed to the floor?

Bolt-down feet are designed to allow floor fixing where required. The correct anchors and installation method should be selected according to the floor material, equipment load and site conditions.

When should I use double bolt-down feet instead of single bolt-down feet?

Double bolt-down feet are generally preferred where greater resistance to movement, vibration or sideways forces is required. They may also be more suitable for larger machinery or equipment with a higher centre of gravity.

Can the feet help reduce vibration?

Rubber-based feet may help reduce minor vibration transfer and movement. For applications with significant vibration, the equipment and support system should be assessed to determine whether a dedicated anti-vibration solution is required.

How should stainless steel adjustable feet be maintained?

The feet should be inspected regularly for loose fixings, damaged threads, worn rubber, corrosion and changes in equipment level. Bolt-down fixings should also be checked as part of the normal maintenance schedule.
