Product Information
Full details
The Park Tool FP-2 Floor Plate is designed for professional mechanics and dedicated home enthusiasts who require a rock-solid, permanent foundation for their bicycle repair stands. By bolting directly to your shop floor, this steel plate eliminates stand wobble and tipping during heavy-duty maintenance, though it requires permanent drilling into your floor surface which may not be suitable for renters or temporary workspace setups.

FAQs
Is the FP-2 compatible with PRS-4 stands?
No, the FP-2 is specifically designed for the PRS-2 and PRS-3 series stands.
Does this plate come with floor anchors?
The plate includes the hardware to attach the stand to the plate, but you must provide the specific anchors or bolts required to secure the plate to your specific floor material.
Can I install this on a wooden floor?
Yes, provided the wooden floor is structurally sound, thick enough to support the bolts, and the fasteners used are appropriate for wood mounting.
What tools are needed for installation?
You will need a drill with an appropriate bit for your floor surface, a wrench or socket set for the stand bolts, and a measuring tape to align the mounting centers.
Can I remove the plate if I move my shop?
Yes, but it is a permanent installation. You will need to remove the bolts from the floor, which will leave holes in your floor surface.
Is the plate rust-resistant?
The plate is durable, but because it is steel, you should keep it dry and clean in a workshop environment to prevent surface corrosion.
Troubleshooting
Stand wobbles after installation
Check that the four mounting bolts are tightened securely to the floor and verify the bolts connecting the stand to the plate are fully torqued.
Anchor bolts are loose in the concrete floor
Verify the diameter of the drill bit used for your floor anchors matches the specifications of the anchor manufacturer, or consider using epoxy-set anchors for added security.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the FP-2, ensure your floor surface (concrete is recommended) can accommodate the four bolt anchors. Position the plate and mark the 11/32-inch holes. After drilling, secure the plate to the floor using appropriate masonry anchors (not included, as these depend on your floor material). Attach your PRS-2 or PRS-3 stand to the plate using the included hardware. To maintain, periodically check the mounting bolts for tightness and ensure the steel plate is free from moisture or corrosive cleaning agents to prevent rust over time. Regularly inspect the attachment point between the stand and the plate to ensure no loosening has occurred during routine use.
