Who Needs This Product

This product is a versatile post anchor, the anchorage component of a personal fall arrest system. Crews mount it to wood, concrete, or steel to raise the tie-off above the deck, then connect an SRL or lanyard to the welded eye. Choose the post height for your clearance. You still need a certified full-body harness and a compatible connecting device.
