8" X 8" Heavy Duty Square Flat Steel Metal Base Plate With Holes
The 8" x 8" Heavy-Duty Steel Base Plate is a fundamental component for any structural anchoring or equipment mounting project. Engineered from high-strength steel, it provides a stable, load-distributing foundation for columns, posts, and machinery, ensuring a secure and durable installation.
- Heavy-Duty Steel Construction
- 8" x 8" Square Dimension
- Pre-Drilled Mounting Holes
- Ideal for Structural Anchoring
This industrial-grade base plate is manufactured from high-strength, weldable carbon steel, designed to withstand significant compressive loads and provide a reliable connection point between structural members and concrete foundations. Its robust construction makes it an essential hardware component for ensuring stability in commercial and industrial settings. The pre-drilled hole pattern is strategically placed for compatibility with standard heavy-duty anchors and fasteners, such as Grade 8 bolts, simplifying installation and ensuring proper alignment for maximum structural integrity in your Los Angeles-based projects.
Versatility is a key feature of our 8" x 8" steel base plates. They are widely used in new construction and MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) applications. Fabricators utilize them as bases for steel columns, equipment stands, and fence posts, while contractors rely on them for anchoring structural frames and supports. Their flat, uniform surface also makes them suitable for use as large-format washers or reinforcement plates in custom fabrication, providing essential support where needed. Available from our Los Angeles warehouse, these plates are ready for same-day pickup.
Specifications
- Material: High-Strength Carbon Steel
- Standards: Manufactured to common industrial tolerances; compatible with fasteners meeting SAE J429 / ASTM A307 standards.
- Strength/Tensile: Engineered for heavy load-bearing and structural anchoring applications.
- Dimensions: 8" x 8" Square (Thickness varies by stock)
- Finish: Unfinished (Mill Finish)
- Certifications: Mill Test Reports (MTRs) available upon request.
Applications
- Structural Construction: Serving as the primary base for steel columns, posts, and support beams in buildings and structures.
- Machinery & Equipment: Creating stable mounting pads for heavy industrial machinery, motors, and equipment to prevent vibration and movement.
- Fencing & Railing: Providing a secure anchor point for commercial fence posts, security gates, and ADA-compliant handrail systems.
- Metal Fabrication: Used as a versatile component in custom weldments, support gussets, and large-scale reinforcement projects.
Target Users
These industrial-grade steel plates are essential for structural steel erectors, commercial construction contractors, metal fabricators, and MRO teams. They are a go-to component for projects requiring a solid, reliable foundation for heavy loads.
Finish Options
Our 8" x 8" steel base plates are supplied with a standard mill finish (unfinished raw steel), which is ideal for welding applications. For corrosion protection, the surface can be easily prepped and coated with industrial primers and paints, such as DTM alkyd or epoxy coatings, or it can be sent for hot-dip galvanizing for maximum outdoor durability.
How to Measure
To specify a base plate, provide the length, width, and material thickness. Additionally, define the hole requirements by noting the quantity of holes, their diameter, and their precise location on the plate (e.g., center-to-center spacing or distance from edges).
Example: Square Base Plate, 8" x 8" x 1/2" Thick, with four 3/4" diameter holes, one in each corner, set 1-1/2" in from each edge.
