If the load capacity remains insufficient, additional springs can be incorporated for particularly challenging applications. FlexiMounts are available in a range of different configurations and finishes such as painted or galvanised, and FixDown or FixUp to suit different equipment base frame requirements.
Applications
FlexiMounts with LoHite Brackets can be installed on to existing equipment even while it continues operating, or used to minimise equipment height where this is a constraint.
They can also work with FlexiBases to provide high performance vibration isolation and control movement where necessary.

Featuring full height and wind restraint and distributed load support, FlexiRails have been developed for vibration isolation of both large and small units including: cooling towers, chillers, evaporative condensers and fluid coolers.
Every FlexiRail provides a highly efficient, low-cost means of controlling mechanical vibration transmission, particularly for equipment with bases unable to accept the point loads imposed by unit vibration isolators, or where it is essential to restrain against changing fluid levels and external wind loads.
Made Strong, Made Well
Offering a standard load capacity from 400kg to over 31 tonnes, FlexiRails comprise a formed channel with integral springs and NoisePads.

FlexAppeal™ Vibration Control Systems
Is This The Solution For You?
FlexAppeal™ Vibration Control systems control induced instability or movement, and isolate vibration for items of a mechanical plant.
These are essential for effective vibration control when one of these three machine characteristics inhibits the use of unit vibration isolators:
- Lack of integral base frame or a base frame that has insufficient strength to accept the point loads imposed by mounting on unit vibration isolators.
- Large out-of-balance forces leading to excessive movement: common with equipment such as vertical compressors.
- High centres of gravity on “top-heavy” machinery leading to instability: characteristic of equipment like belt-driven pumps and motor sets.
Vibration Control Systems usually consist of Vibration Isolators such as VertiMounts, FlexiRails or FlexiMounts, together with a RigiFrame or FlexiBase.
