FrontLine CO2NN Counterweight Roof Anchor
Non-Penetrating, Freestanding & OSHA-Compliant Fall Protection
The FrontLine CO2NN Counterweight Anchor gives you reliable fall protection without ever piercing the roof. This heavy-duty, freestanding system is purpose-built for applications where roof penetrations aren't allowed, making it ideal for finished membranes, delicate substrates, and roofs with a pitch of up to 5°. Whether you need fall arrest or fall restraint for one worker, this system delivers jobsite flexibility with zero compromise on safety. Seeking a durable, reusable, and non-penetrating anchor? The CO2NN checks every box.
FrontLine CO2NN Counterweight Roof Anchor Protects the Surface
Heavy enough to stop a fall but light enough to move between jobs
The CO2NN uses weight—not fasteners—to create a secure tie-off point for workers exposed to fall hazards. With a 310 lb. worker capacity and compatibility with SRLs, lanyards, and lifelines, this anchor is ready to protect your crew without damaging the roof.
Each unit comes fully assembled and includes four ergonomic lifting points, so you can hoist or reposition it using handles or lifting equipment. A 360° swiveling D-ring attachment keeps the user mobile while maintaining constant connection. Protective pads built into the base reduce surface abrasion on finished roof systems, and hot-dipped galvanized components offer long-term corrosion resistance even in harsh environments.

FrontLine CO2NN Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does the CO2NN anchor require any assembly on the roof?
No. One of the primary advantages of the CO2NN is that it arrives fully assembled. Unlike some systems that require you to stack individual weights, the CO2NN is a single, ready-to-use unit that can be placed immediately upon delivery.
2. Can I use this anchor on a wet or icy roof?
Deadweight anchors rely on friction. Per the manufacturer's safety instructions, the CO2NN must not be used on surfaces contaminated with oil, grease, ice, or snow. The roof surface should be clean and dry to ensure the protective base pads maintain maximum grip during a fall event.
3. Is it safe to use an SRL with a freestanding counterweight anchor?
Yes, the CO2NN is compatible with Self-Retracting Lifelines (SRLs). However, it is important to remember that deadweight anchors may shift slightly during a fall arrest. Always ensure you have adequate fall clearance and that the SRL is rated for the specific application.
4. How do I move the anchor to a different section of the roof?
The CO2NN is equipped with four ergonomic handles designed to prevent pinch injuries. It can be moved manually by two or more people or hoisted using the integrated lifting points. Always follow proper lifting protocols to avoid injury.
5. Will the base of the anchor damage my TPO or EPDM roof?
The CO2NN features integrated protective base pads specifically designed to prevent surface abrasion. These pads distribute the weight and provide a buffer between the galvanized steel and the roofing membrane.
6. What is the maximum slope this anchor can handle?
The CO2NN is rated for roofs with a pitch up to 5 degrees. It is not suitable for steep-slope applications. For steeper metal roofs, we recommend our standing seam anchor solutions.
7. How often does the CO2NN require inspection?
- Pre-Use: A visual inspection by the user before every shift.
- Annual: A documented inspection by a Competent Person every 12 months.
- Post-Fall: If the unit is involved in a fall arrest, it must be immediately removed from service and inspected for structural damage or deformation.
