One Anchor, Two Substrates, Two Ways to Mount It
The SBW01 is the multi-purpose plate anchor in the Frontline steel line: weld it to structural steel for a permanent point, or bolt it to steel or concrete and take it with you when the work moves. Made of ASTM rated steel with a 1/4 inch base and a zinc-plated finish, it installs in minutes, can be installed and tied off in multiple directions, and is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.
Rated at 5,000 lbf (22 kN) tensile strength with a 310 lb maximum user capacity, the SBW01 meets ANSI Z359.1-2007 and A10.32-2012 and is built for OSHA 1926.502 construction and 1910 general industry work. It comes ready to use straight out of the bag — one SKU that covers the steel deck today and the concrete tilt-wall tomorrow.
Who Needs This Product
This product is an anchorage connector — the fixed tie-off point of a personal fall protection system. The steel or concrete it mounts to is the anchorage; the worker wears a full body harness; a lanyard or self-retracting lifeline connects the two. Crews that bounce between steel framing and concrete structures carry one SBW01 instead of two different anchors.
Features
Steel and concrete
Installs in most structural steel and concrete substrates — one anchor covers both sides of the jobsite.
Weld it or bolt it
Weld-on for permanent points; bolt-on where the anchor needs to come back off and move with the crew.
Reusable in bolt-on mode
The bolt-on application makes the anchor reusable, relocating from one prepared point to the next in minutes.
Multi-direction tie-off
Can be installed and tied off in multiple directions, so the load path follows the work.
ASTM rated steel
Made of ASTM rated steel for reassured product reliability and quality, with a zinc-plated finish.
Ready out of the bag
No assembly required — the anchor arrives ready for the install your plan calls for.

The substrate carries the load. Whether welded or bolted, the SBW01 is only as strong as the steel or concrete behind it and the connection holding it there. A competent person must verify the substrate and the completed installation per the user manual before anyone ties off. One worker per anchor, 310 lbs maximum including tools.
Compliance Standards
ANSI Z359.1-2007
Meets the American National Standard safety requirements for personal fall arrest system components.
ANSI A10.32-2012
Meets the ANSI standard for personal fall protection used in construction and demolition operations.
OSHA CFR 1926.502
Designed to the OSHA construction criteria for fall protection systems and anchorage strength.
OSHA CFR 1910
Suitable for general industry fall protection applications when installed per the manual.
Typical Applications
Installation Overview
Follow the manufacturer's manual. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Verify the substrate. A competent person confirms the steel or concrete can support the loads required by the manual.
- Choose the mode. Weld-on for a permanent point; bolt-on where the anchor will be reused and relocated.
- Prepare the mount. Drill the bolt pattern, or prep the weld surface, at the planned location per the user manual.
- Install the anchor. Torque the bolts to specification, or have a qualified welder complete the weld per the manual.
- Verify before loading. Inspect the bolts or finished weld and confirm the anchor is seated with no play.
- Connect. Attach the lanyard or SRL connector; one worker per anchor. Unbolt and relocate when the work moves.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect before each use, with a documented competent-person inspection at least every 6 months. Pull the equipment from service for any of the conditions below.
- Plate and eye: deformation, cracks, nicks, or corrosion.
- Weld (welded installs): cracks, undercut, porosity, or any visible defect.
- Bolts (bolted installs): full engagement, correct torque, no thread damage or missing hardware.
- Finish: zinc plating worn through with active rust on load-bearing surfaces.
- Markings: product label and rating legible.
Retirement triggers: any fall arrest loading, plate or weld damage, bolt or thread damage, deformation, significant corrosion, or any condition where the inspector cannot verify the anchor is fit for service.
