LiftingSafety Portable Cantilever Deadweight Anchor System for Rope Access, Fall Arrest Manriding and Rescue.

• CE Approved to PPE Directive
• Galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461 where applicable
• Fully portable – No structural attachment or penetrantion of roof surface or surroundings.

The Cantilever roof top anchor is shown here being used for rooftop access using rope access techniques. For industrial applications it is more commonly used for confined space access in conjunction with a hand operated manriding winch and / or a fall arrest inertia reel (with rescue winch)

Thus, providing a flexible solution for fall arrest , man riding and rescue in environments that would not be suitable for a Tripod or Davit arm (socket or free standing) The Dead weight anchor (cross shape) is made from galvanised steel, the cantilever arm arrangement is made from lightweight aluminium. All components are light weight for ease of transportation.

Standard cantilever over the falling edge (building side wall) is 390mm from the vertical legs. We manufacture specials giving a cantilever of up to 1500mm though these are considerably more expensive.

KSAccessAnchor is designed as an accessory to KSWeightAnchor to provide a portable anchor device for rope access workers,

allowing them to work safely in accordance with BS7985, the “Code of Practice for the Use of Rope Access Methods for Industrial Purposes”. When correctly

installed, the system is extremely stable and will not migrate across the roof surface either in normal use or when arresting the fall of both a worker and a rescuer up to a 200kg limit. KSAccessAnchor has been designed for easy transportation and installation with no part over 25kg or 2 metres.

KSAccessAnchor Features

• Independently tested at N.E.L. (National Engineering Laboratory, East Kilbride N.B. 0320).
• Conforms to CLASS B & E EN 795, BS 7883 & ISO 14567.
• CE Approved to PPE Directive.
• Self contained portable anchor device.
• Does not penetrate the roof surface.
• Separate anchor point for working line and back up line.
• Modular construction.
• Internally force balanced system causes the assembly to remain static, even when arresting the fall of both worker and rescuer.

KSAccessAnchor Benefits

• Requires no attachment to structural members.
• Easily moved across roof surface, removing need for multiple attachment points.
• Rope lines held away from edge of building reducing risk of abrasion.
• Provides full fall arrest protection before approaching edge.
• Aluminium, galvanised and rubber coated parts requiring minimum maintenance.

Portable Deadweight Anchor System (KSWeightAnchor)

The KSAnchor range of products is centred on the KSWeightAnchor portable deadweight anchor designed for use where the installation of collective protection or permanent anchor devices is not viable. A basic system weighs only 250Kg, with no
single item weighing no more than 25kg, making this a very practical and convenient option. If anyone needs to abseil down a building, KSAccessAnchor provides a stable platform for the attachment of rope access lines. Each of the products has been independently tested by the National Engineering Laboratory and is CE approved to meet the PPE Directive.

Why you need KSWeightAnchor

KSWeightAnchor is a mobile, deadweight anchor device for use on roofs of up to 5 degrees pitch, where the absence of guardrails or permanent anchor devices would otherwise preclude safe means of access. KSWeightAnchor is the first Class “E” anchor device to be approved for use on all roof surfaces when wet and also for use downhill on metal clad roofs (subject to the addition of two
extra weights). KSWeightAnchor utilises a central pedestal (attachment point) which raises the height at which the arrest force is applied, thus reducing the distance the anchor device moves during a fall arrest event.

KSWeightAnchor Features

• Independently tested at N.E.L. (National Engineering Laboratory, East Kilbride N.B. 0320).
• Conforms to CLASS E EN 795, BS 7883 & ISO 14567.
• CE Approved to PPE Directive.
• Galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461.
• Does not penetrate the roof surface.
• Baseweights fully encased in rubber moulding, with 10 year guarantee.
• Raised central pedestal reduces the distance of travel during a fall arrest event.

KSWeightAnchor Benefits

• No need for expensive Inertia reels.
• Rubber moulded base weights prevent rubber pads ‘peeling’ at the edges.
• With the correct model it can be used on any of the following roof surfaces in WET or DRY conditions:
  • Single Ply Membrane Asphalt.
  • Steel Cladding Concrete.
  • Stone Chippings (Brushed).
  • Mineral Felt.
• Can be used on roofs up to 5° pitch.
• For fall restraint up to 2 workers may be attached providing they cannot get to less than 500mm from the edge.
• Easy and quick to assemble with fewer loose components than others on the market.
