FallTech 7493A Reusable Heavy-Duty Chain Anchor for Wood

Who Needs This Product

This product is a reusable heavy-duty chain roof anchor, the anchorage component of a personal fall arrest system for wood roofs. Roofers wrap and fasten it to framing for a strong temporary tie-off, then connect an SRL or lanyard. It is removed and reused. You still need a certified full-body harness and a compatible connecting device.
