Anti-tip products
Anti-toppling accessories are components that prevent equipment and fixtures from falling over or moving due to earthquakes, vibration, or contact. Typical examples include Z-shaped fixing brackets that press down on the feet or base of machines and are fastened to the floor with anchor bolts, and L-shaped corner brackets that are applied to the four corners of equipment where pressing brackets cannot be used. They are generally made of steel plate with a baked paint finish. Stoppers that are inserted into the casters of casters-equipped devices such as copiers and racks to restrict movement are also available. They are used for floor fixing of production equipment in factories and for earthquake countermeasures on office equipment.

How to choose Anti-tip products
-
1. Select a height H that matches the fixing point
The bracket height H should match the height from the floor of the base or feet of the equipment being secured. A mismatch creates gaps, leading to rattling and poor fixing. Listed products range from 20 to 300 mm, and corner brackets are available in multiple part numbers from 100 to 300 mm.
-
2. Use plate thickness as a guide to holding strength
The body plate thickness is directly linked to bracket rigidity, and thicker plates are advantageous for heavier equipment or locations with large vibration. Listed examples include 4.5 mm as well as 6.0 mm products. Select based on equipment mass and the anticipated load.
-
3. Check installation space with length L1
The body length L1 relates to the distance from the outer perimeter of the equipment to the floor anchor position and to interference with surrounding piping and walkways. Listed products measure 120 to 160 mm. Also confirm that anchor positions do not interfere with floor joints or embedded objects.
-
4. Verify base plate dimensions and hole positions
The thickness × width × length of the base plate that contacts the floor affects the number and placement of anchor bolts and the distribution of load on the floor. Check in the drawings that the dimensions allow the required anchor diameter and edge distance.
-
5. Match material and surface treatment to the environment
Body material is typically general structural steel such as SS400, protected against corrosion by baked paint. In locations exposed to water or chemicals, be aware that deterioration of the paint can accelerate rust. For products with a stated service life, 8 years is the guideline for listed products.
-
6. Use dedicated stoppers for casters-equipped devices
Anchor fixing is difficult for casters-equipped devices such as copiers and racks, so movement is restricted with stoppers inserted into the casters. Paper products and similar items have different strength from metal brackets, so confirm that the stopper suits the weight of the equipment and the caster shape.
