FallTech 17-Inch Cinch-Loop Scaffold Choker Anchor
The FallTech Tower Scaffold Choker Anchor is a compact 17-inch cinch-loop web anchor sized for scaffold tube and tower steel. The short choke-on loop wraps a rail or member and cinches tight for a quick, secure tie-off in tight spaces.
Built from polyester webbing, it is rated for 5,000 lb (22.2 kN) and certified to ANSI Z359.18-2017. Its compact 17-inch length suits scaffold and tower work where a full-size sling is too long.
Who Needs This Product
This product is a compact web choker sling anchor for scaffold and tower work, the anchorage component of a personal fall arrest system. Scaffold and tower crews cinch it onto a rail or member, then connect an SRL or lanyard. You still need a certified full-body harness and a compatible connecting device to complete the system.

Typical Applications
How to Install
Follow the FallTech instruction manual. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Inspect. Check the webbing, stitching, and hardware for damage before each use.
- Choose a rated anchor point. Confirm the structure supports at least 5,000 lb and is free of sharp or abrasive edges.
- Wrap the structure. Pass the anchor around the beam, column, or member in the approved configuration.
- Connect. Attach your SRL or energy-absorbing lanyard to the anchor connection point.
- Check clearance. Confirm fall clearance and swing-fall with the calculator below.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect before each use, with a documented competent-person inspection at least annually. Remove the anchor from service for any of the conditions below.
- Webbing: cuts, frays, pulls, burns, chemical damage, or heavy abrasion.
- Stitching: broken, cut, or worn stitches at the loops and D-ring.
- Hardware (D-ring or thimble): deformation, sharp edges, cracks, or corrosion.
- Labels: illegible or missing markings.
Remove the anchor from service immediately after any fall-arrest event, and destroy retired equipment so it cannot return to service.
