FallTech 7408 Toggle-Through Eyebolt Anchor
The FallTech 7408 Toggle-Through Eyebolt Anchor installs through a single drilled hole in structural steel. The toggle passes through the hole and spreads behind the steel, then the eyebolt tightens to create a secure tie-off point from one side.
It is a fast, single-hole steel anchor certified to ANSI Z359.18-2017, rated for 5,000 lb (22.2 kN), for one worker up to 310 lb (ANSI) or 425 lb (OSHA).

Who Needs This Product
This product is a toggle-through eyebolt anchor, the anchorage component of a personal fall arrest system. Steel workers install it through a single hole to create a tie-off point where the back of the steel cannot be reached, then connect an SRL or lanyard. You still need a certified full-body harness and a compatible connecting device.
Features
Single-hole install
Installs through one drilled hole for a fast anchor point.
Toggle-through design
The toggle spreads behind the steel so you can install from one side.
No rear access needed
Ideal where the back of the member is not reachable.
Eyebolt connection
Strong connection point for an SRL or lanyard.
Reusable
Remove the anchor and reuse it on the next hole.
ANSI Z359.18-2017
Certified anchorage rated for 5,000 lb (22.2 kN).
Confirm the toggle is fully seated and tightened. Drill the correct hole in sound steel, confirm the toggle has spread fully behind the member, and tighten the eyebolt per the manual. Confirm fall clearance and swing-fall with the Fall Protection Calculator below.

Typical Applications
How to Install
Follow the FallTech instruction manual. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Inspect. Check the anchor body, connection point, and hardware for damage before each use.
- Prepare the structure. Confirm the mounting surface is sound and rated to support the anchor per the manual.
- Install and secure. Mount the anchor as specified and set all fasteners to the required torque.
- Connect. Attach your SRL or energy-absorbing lanyard to the 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.
- Anchor body and welds: cracks, bending, deformation, or corrosion.
- D-ring or connection point: deformation, sharp edges, cracks, or corrosion.
- Fasteners and hardware: damaged threads, loose or missing fasteners.
- 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.
