FLOORPOST

Overview

The Hoffman FLOORPOST is a vertical floor-mounted support structure designed for environments lacking structural surfaces for direct mounting. Constructed from stainless steel (SS304) with a brushed finish, the unit measures approximately 12 x 12 x 74 inches (302 x 302 x 1880 mm). It integrates a junction box to serve as a rough-in point and pull box for power and network field wiring. The assembly includes internal CAT5 couplers and finger-safe power terminals, facilitating secure connections for heavy-wall 3.5-inch conduit systems.

Feature Summary

• Provides a stable mounting solution for Syspend VHDS-Motion Arms where wall or ceiling structures are unavailable
• Integrates a junction box acting as a pull point for electrical and network cabling
• Includes built-in CAT5 couplers and finger-safe power terminals for secure field wiring

Applications

• Mounting Syspend VHDS-Motion Arms in industrial facilities without structural anchor points
• Heavy-wall 3.5-inch conduit power distribution rough-ins
• Network infrastructure pull boxes requiring integrated data connectivity

Procurement Notes

Verify specific model suffixes such as SS for stainless steel construction when ordering. Confirm required dimensions against site constraints, as standard units measure 12x12x74 inches. Ensure compatibility with existing Syspend motion arm hardware. Check for included accessories like CAT5 couplers and terminal blocks. Validate conduit entry requirements for heavy-wall applications prior to installation planning.

Selection Notes

Select this unit when structural mounting surfaces are absent and vertical support is required for motion arms. Choose the stainless steel variant for corrosive or washdown environments. Verify that the 3.5-inch heavy-wall conduit specification matches the facility's electrical infrastructure. Consider the integrated junction box benefits for reducing separate enclosure purchases. Ensure the height accommodates the necessary cable run lengths and arm positioning requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the nVent Hoffman Syspend series, which provides modular support solutions for industrial cabling and equipment. The FLOORPOST specifically addresses scenarios where traditional wall or ceiling mounts are impractical. It complements other Syspend components by offering a standalone vertical anchor point. The design emphasizes durability and integrated connectivity for complex industrial setups.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific stainless steel floorpost configuration. Alternative solutions may involve custom-fabricated stands or different manufacturer floor posts, but these will lack the integrated Syspend motion arm compatibility and factory-installed junction box features.
