Mounting a Branick to cinderblock?

[Wildcat445]

Hey folks...

I've got a Branick strut/spring compressor that I need to hang on a cinderblock garage wall. In my last garage, I just mounted it thru some wood studs with 3/8-16 carriage bolts straight thru to the outside of the building - but my new place has the garage buried under the earth and cinderblock walls and I'm not sure how to approach it. What's the best way to mount this thing?

Thanks

(it's a model 7400 if it matters)

I have that mounted on a cinder block wall at school....I forget what they used, but I'll check tomorrow. Whatever they used it has held up for then past 7 years.....

Carriage bolts from the backside to lock nuts mount the 7400 to a 2x6.
The 2x6 is anchored to the block wall with 1/2 concrete anchors through the 7400.
It is SOLID.

I'm a little late but thank you, I'm gonna give this a shot!

Just created an account to say thanks.

I bought this just because the shops in my area $800 to replace the mount assembly.

Regular rental tools weren't strong enough to safely compress my coil spring, so I found a great deal on marketplace. Had no idea how to mount it, I felt just two bolts wasn't enough.

I followed your recommendation and it turned out perfect, and worked perfectly. For the bolts into the wall I used Tapcon brand.
