Concrete anchor/fastener

[MarineScott]

I would like to mount a motorcycle wheel chock to my garage floor temporarily for when I do maintenance on my bike, and then remove it, to use on my trailer. Is there a concrete anchor/fastener that has a threaded inside to where I can use bolts then remove them leaving the anchors flush in the floor. I need to keep the chock from moving when loading my bike in or out of it. Thanks!

There are numerous 'flush' anchors available in a multitude of sizes.
Hilti and Red Head have plenty to offer.

I have had good luck with the red heads personally

I think the OP wants a 'permanently installed threaded hole' in his floor...so he can repeatedly remove and re-attach various things to the floor.


I am pretty sure that the hilti fastener is designed to be installed, a bolt threaded, the assy tightened and left alone.

You want Red Head drop in anchors. You drill your hole in the concrete a predetermined depth, drop the anchor in, and then set it with the setting tool and a hammer. Powers makes them too. Fastenal usually has either brand in stock.

For your application, make sure you set the anchor VERY well. You don't have to buy the special set tool for them... any rod which is slightly smaller than the bolt threads is good... just give it several good wacks with a hammer. We often take old screwdrivers, saw the tip off, and use them as a set tool.

I am now curious-

Everyone posting about these anchors- fine for repeated 'attach- remove-attach-remove' applications??

Its just a threaded insert. No different than using a bolt over and over. The threads could wear down. The insert does not leave the concrete.

Understand- it is the repetitive loading and unloading of the insert at the 'insert-to-contrete' interface that causes me to question. OP should call Hilti tech support unless someone has a definitive answer here....

Im sure fatigue cycles are figured in. You would in no way be loading it to the max capacity right? Would there be any tension, or is it all in shear?

8th item down on the right hand column.

I've used these and they work great. Be VERY sure all concrete powder is cleaned from the hole before installing. I use round brushes and a shop vac to clean the holes.

You are not loading and unloading the "insert-to-concrete" interface. That interface is made when you "set" the insert by driving the internal pin deeper and expanding the anchor. The bolt does nothing additional to increase the "anchor-to-concrete" interface.

Out of curiosity, I called Hilti.

Fine, provided you monitor threads for wear and be careful not to over-torque on any re-installation. Make sure it is well set on initial installation

Thanks all-

Don't forget to plug it when not in use to keep dust and debris out.
