ST14SA Easy Slider Beam Walker Anchor
The ST14SA Easy Slider Beam Walker is a removable, reusable sliding I-beam anchor that glides along the flange while trailing the worker - relocate the work area and the anchor point follows. The D-ring is centered on the anchorage connector for easy sliding and swivels a full 360 degrees, so the connecting device tracks the user instead of tangling, and the whole anchor adjusts conveniently from one side.
Aluminum components keep it at 3.5 lbs - lightweight to carry, easy to place, and quick to remove - while the bronze clamp and zinc plated steel D-ring bracket keep it rugged and corrosion resistant. It fits beam flanges from 3.5 to 14 inches wide and 0.25 to 1.25 inches thick, with a 5,000 lb static tensile strength and a 310 lb single-user rating. Conforms to ANSI Z359.18 and Z359.7 and EN 795:2012, and aligns with OSHA 1910 and 1926.
Who Needs This Product
This product is a sliding I-beam anchorage connector - a trailing anchor point that follows the worker along the beam. Crews that move along steel all day pick the Easy Slider because it is light enough to carry up, places and removes in moments, and slides hands-free while they work. Suitable for a single user connection - each worker still needs a full body harness and a compatible connecting device attached to the D-ring.

The beam carries the load. The I-beam must be verified by a qualified person for the intended fall protection load, and the clamp must be adjusted to the actual flange width and thickness before each use. One worker per anchor at 310 lbs maximum - calculate fall clearance before tying off.

Typical Applications
Installation Overview
Follow the manufacturer's manual. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Inspect. Check the cross bar, clamp, D-ring, swivel, and markings before each use.
- Verify the beam. Have a qualified person confirm the I-beam carries the intended fall protection load.
- Measure the flange. Confirm flange width is between 3.5 and 14 inches and thickness between 0.25 and 1.25 inches.
- Mount. Open the clamp, seat the anchor over the flange, and adjust from one side to the flange width per the manual.
- Check the slide. Confirm the anchor is captive on the flange and slides smoothly through the work zone.
- Connect. Attach the SRL or shock-absorbing lanyard to the swivel D-ring and verify fall clearance before work begins.
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.
- Cross bar: bending, cracks, or damaged adjustment teeth.
- Clamp: deformation, wear, or failure to hold the set width.
- D-ring and swivel: bending, cracks, binding, or rough rotation.
- Hardware: corrosion, missing parts, or loose fasteners.
- Markings: missing or illegible product label.
Retire the anchor immediately after any fall arrest event, any deformation or crack, or any condition where it cannot be verified as safe for service.
