[QUOTE="CHOP SHOP, post: 1568226, member: 17493"] If your bolting it to the floor, it doesn't need to be that stout at all. Just strong enough to hold up a long chunk of tube. If bolted to the floor it will take up a decent amount of real estate if you plan to bend cage hoops and such from 12'+ chunks of tube swinging around. I mounted mine to a 4" box tube post and welded that to a 2'x2' piece of plate steel that is solid 1 inch thick and put wheels on all four corners. Its heavy enough to support a 20' stick of tube hanging out of it and I can roll it into a corner when Im not using it. Mine is hydraulic tho, if your talking manual then your going to be mounting it solid to something unless your base plate is large enough to stand on while pulling the lever/arm. I have seen folks mount them to a receiver tube and plug them into a hitch on a truck and back into the doorway of the shop while bending tube. [/QUOTE]
