Guardian Fall Protection 00691 4-Way Plate Anchor

The Guardian Fall Protection 4-Way Plate Anchor supports one worker in fall arrest or two workers in fall restraint, and is suitable for installation onto wood, metal, or concrete. Its 4 connection points greatly increase the potential working range, as a worker can detach from a connection point, reattach to the opposite connection point, and be able to work in fall arrest or restraint on the other side of a building, all from the same anchor. Its 90-degree angles between its connection points also make the 4-Way Plate anchor a perfect rooftop corner joint for horizontal lifeline (HLL) systems.

Supports 1 Worker in Fall Arrest or 2 Workers in Fall Restraint

• Material: 100% 1/4" Hot Rolled Steel
• When used in combination with a horizontal lifeline system, can support 2 workers in Fall Arrest or 4 workers in Fall Restraint
• 4 connection points greatly increase the potential working range, as a worker could detach from a connection point, reattach to the opposite connection point, and be able to work in Fall Arrest or Restraint on the other side of a building, all from the same anchor
