Does the building have masonry walls?

If it does, it may be possible to mount it directly on the walls. To really isolate from a wood floor system seems a tall order if the motor is big.

The best way is to put a heavy pad of concrete under the machine and then probably also use the rubber isolation devices, I suspect.

If you have masonry walls and if you can put it in the corner, you may be able to add some steel beams and a concrete pad so that it does not bear on the wood floor system.
