Permanent pin in concrete floor

[bloomingtonmike]

When I moved my mill last year I was wishing I had a hol to drop a pin in when I was getting the 4500lb mill off the trailer with a come along. I did not have anything in the shop that was permanent. Has anyone installed something in their floor when they poured to have a permanent point in the floor?

I am not sure of the correct terms for this idea so I hope you understand what I am talking about

I've seen guys use auto body frame anchors aka pull pots. It's on my list of things to do when I build my dream garage.

This is also on my list of items to install in the garage floor when I build the garage. I think this would be handy to have for any pulling or for temporarily securing of equipment in the garage.

I think two at the rear of the garage and possibly two near the front door. I would put them about 3 feet from the wall. I would not want my cabinets or wall storage to block access to them.

If your floor is already poured, you can hammer drill a hole and install concrete anchors.
Use the removeable ones so you don't always have something to trip over.

I ordered two of the Champ pots when this was posted and they already arrived. I am IL so that may have helped. I ordered two more pots and the plates for installing them in a new floor pour. Thanks again.
