FallTech 7493B1 Reusable D-Ring Plate Anchor for Wood
The FallTech 7493B1 is a reusable D-ring plate roof anchor for wood structures. The steel plate screws to a rafter or truss and carries a D-ring for tie-off, and the anchor can be removed and reused on the next job.
It meets OSHA fall protection requirements, rated to a 5,000 lb anchorage requirement, for one worker up to 310 lb, for wood roofing work.

Who Needs This Product
This product is a reusable D-ring plate roof anchor, the anchorage component of a personal fall arrest system for wood roofs. Roofers screw the plate to framing for a temporary tie-off point, then connect an SRL or lanyard. It is removed and reused. You still need a certified full-body harness and a compatible connecting device.
