Malta Dynamics A6105 Fixed Beam Anchor FAQ
1. Can the A6105 be used on vertical beams or columns?
Yes. Unlike rolling trolleys, the A6105 is a Fixed Anchor. Once tightened down, it creates a stationary tie-off point safe for use on both horizontal and vertical structural steel columns.
2. What is the maximum flange thickness this anchor will fit?
The A6105 is exceptionally versatile, accommodating flange thicknesses from 0.5 inches up to 2 inches. This makes it compatible with heavy structural steel that standard beam clamps often cannot fit.
3. Do I need tools to install the A6105?
No tools are required. The system uses a manual adjustable paw and locking nut system that allows you to secure the anchor by hand. Ensure the nuts are tightened firmly to prevent any play on the beam.
4. Is this anchor rated for Fall Arrest or Fall Restraint?
The A6105 is rated for both Fall Arrest and Fall Restraint. It has a minimum breaking strength of 5,000 lbs, meeting all single-user tie-off requirements.
5. Can more than one person tie off to a single A6105?
No. The A6105 is a single-user anchor. It is designed to protect one person (up to 310 lbs including tools) at a time. Never attach multiple lifelines to one anchor.
6. Can this anchor be used at foot level?
The A6105 can be used overhead or at foot level, but only if approved by a Competent Person. If used at foot level, a Leading Edge (LE) rated lanyard or SRL is required.
7. How do I avoid common problems during installation?
- 1. Verify Centering: Ensure the D-ring is as centered as possible between the hooks.
- 2. Check the Nut: Ensure the locking nut is fully engaged and functional.
- 3. Surface Cleanliness: Keep the beam flange free of grease or loose debris for a snug fit.
