4-Way Plate Anchor, Red
The Guardian 00691 puts four rated connection points on one plate: a red powder-coated steel anchor that fastens to the structure per the manual and serves multiple system layouts from a single installation, tie-off, rigging transitions, and rescue staging included.
Each connection point serves one worker within the manual limits, under OSHA 1926.502 and 1910.140, with full documentation linked below.
Who Needs This Product
The 4-way plate suits permanent access points where one anchor location must serve changing needs: rescue systems that need a separate rigging point, transitions where two workers pass through tied off, and davit or rope-access staging. The high-visibility red coating makes the rated points unmistakable against the structure. Installation follows the substrate details in the manual and belongs to a competent person.
