Abstract
An apparatus for securing and leveling equipment includes an anchor bolt installed through a center of an aligning device. Vertical and lateral adjustments of the equipment are facilitated. The aligning device includes a hollow adjuster that is threaded within the equipment to raise or lower the equipment. The anchor bolt has clearance for lateral motion within the aligning device and the adjuster is able to tilt at a spherical joint connection with a leveling pad. The location of the anchor assembly in the center of the aligning device facilitates leveling and alignment of the anchored equipment without causing distortion of the equipment and without the use of spacers.
