Halo Roof Anchor, 1/4 in Thick Steel
The Guardian 00482 Halo is the heavy plate among residential roof anchors: 1/4 in thick steel formed into a ring-topped anchor that fastens over the structure and presents a generous connection ring for hooks, carabiners, and rope terminations alike.
Installed per the manual, the Halo serves one worker under OSHA 1926.502 and 1910.140, with full documentation linked below.

Who Needs This Product
The Halo suits crews that want more metal and a bigger target: the ring top accepts large rescue hooks and doubled connections that flat D-ring anchors pinch, and the 1/4 in plate shrugs off the tear-off abuse that bends lighter anchors. It installs over the peak or per the field details in the manual and pairs with any Guardian vertical lifeline.
