Why are some devices placed directly on the floor while others are hung from the ceiling?

As the title suggests, why are some devices placed directly on the floor, while others are hung from the ceiling or from other devices? And why do some devices have legs? What are the advantages of each of these approaches?

The form of the equipment is mainly determined by your manufacturing processes; equipment that is not flat-bottomed (except horizontal tanks), some vertical equipment with a high length-to-diameter ratio, as well as certain reactors and mixers, require the liquid inside to be drained. Equipment with openings at its bottom must be supported in this way, while flat-bottomed equipment and horizontal tanks generally do not need such support and can be held up using horizontal foundations, support platforms, or saddles.
It should be a requirement related to the elevation or an issue concerning the relationship between the devices.
As per the regulations, in accordance with process requirements, space, and other factors.
Another aspect to consider is the structural loads; some heavy equipment is best placed on the ground in order to reduce the load on the floors.
Elevation is one aspect; for elongated devices mounted in mid-air, a platform with ear mounts is more stable and less likely to tip over than one with a base
So what is the difference between supporting with legs and hanging, and what are the advantages and disadvantages?
What exactly does this elevation requirement refer to? Need for a height difference?
Equipment layout is a rather complex task with many factors to consider. First, it is necessary to ensure the normal operation of the production process; secondly, it should be easy to operate and look neat and tidy. . . In the situation described by the poster, for larger equipment or those that generate vibrations, it is usually placed directly on the ground, and the foundation for such equipment must also be solid.
It is related to the requirements of the manufacturing process! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
