If you look on the Little Giant website you will find the original foundation plans. (33X49X26 inches deep) with a pad under the hammer. If you don't have conveyor belting, tar paper will work fine (about three layers). The belting or paper does two things it adds padding and makes up for any unevenness in the base casting.
If you are looking for a non-permanent base 4X4's stacked side by side with all thread holding them together is another thought. I'd only recommend this on a dirt floor or at least 6 inches of concrete.
I hope this helps
