Rubber mat beneath ATF Chief?

We have purchased an ATF Chief 117 1 color press, and will be moving it to a commercial/light industrial area. We have a bit of a concern with noise and vibration. Would it be possible to place the press on top of a hard rubber mat to help dampen the vibrations, or would this throw the press off too much?

Thanks,

That's not a very heavy machine. I would use very hard oil resistant material.

 

dont they usually put down an oil pan as standard procedure? wow an ATF , I ran one 30 years ago , even ran 4/c work on that machine and it was a solid press. Good luck with yours.....

I know that many 10 inch presses used to stand on hockey pucks for that reason - but maybe they are not so easy to find in Hawaii. but any thick rubber mat does the same job. And the don´t pass on so much vibration to the floor because the printing is seated on coil springs what i can remember.
