Crews drop it through, seat it behind the structure, and connect an SRL or lanyard to the hanging cable end. Choose the cable length for your height. You still need a certified full-body harness and a compatible connecting device.

Is it reusable?
Yes. Remove and reuse the anchor per the manual once the work is complete.
Why is it sold in multi-packs?
Suspended anchors are used in quantity on overhead deck work, so they ship in contractor multi-packs.
What do I connect to it?
