Does the vertical shaft bolt through the base or is it permanently embedded? Is the shaft made of a solid metal?

It bolts thru the base and the shaft is made of metal. I have a 9 ft umbrella on it thru my table. It has never moved. It weighs approx. 50 lbs.

The one I purchased has a bolt that is threaded from the underside of the base and the center pole threads onto it. Hope this helps.

It can be "permanently" mounted with an included bolt and nut that runs through predrilled holes in the bottom of the grill and the top of the post. Be aware the post was not well made. It came in two pieces where one is screwed into the other but what is upsetting is that the "screw side" was very slightly angled so therefore the post was not straight. I could not use the post but luckly I had another that fit the bill. I was not about to get involved with returning a 40 pound grill because of the post but I would have had I not had another to take its place.

Our vertical track does not come with bolts. It is raw straight vertical track with punched holes in it throughout to except current track brackets or modification as needed.

No it doesn't need to be bolted to the ground. In the rear there are 2 rods that you can put some Olympic weights on to keep it from moving. The unit also has some nice rubber feet that keep it from sliding.

As shown in the picture there is a slight incline as the base rests on a cross bar, so as you see it in the picture is how it starts you need it this way to get in and adjust the foot lock setting, so I guess no to completely vertical.

I recently purchase two of these units. They both contain 4 bolts in their threaded holes. The bolts are NOT self tapping. Additionally, each unit contains a spindle nut threaded on the shaft.

There are little rubber feet that are under the bottom bar. I measured from the bottom of those rubber feet to the top of the bottom bar, and that was about an inch. The actual metal piece is also a over 1/2 inch.

the base is real solid but the top is just plastic. The original brackets broke almost right away. The manufacture did send me a new style of bracket under warranty and with a little modification to the base I was able to make it work. I have used it for my laptop and also a projector on occasion...wouldn't put much heavier than that on it though

Yes, it may be bolted to a wall or hard surface such as the floor, or a permanently mounted shelf, etc. Bolt holes are included.

It is fixed at the installed height and is quite heavy so make sure you install it in a beam. I love it. It is a great space saver.

I don't think the base was. I bought it for my country club. The bolts and nuts were included.

Yes, the top section has a metal base, seems very solid. There is no top for the unit

There is a bolt that you have to remove in order to replace it , and it's at the base .

Yes the base is slotted. May require some tooling depending on what vise you are attaching.

The rod is metal. The component at the base is plastic. There doesn't appear to be much force applied to it though.

It is well made and the back is steel. No rubber feet but it does have cut outs for mounting. Very solid unit.
