Malta Dynamics A6350 4-foot Cross Arm Strap 4-Pack – Heavy-Duty Webbing Anchor Slings
The Malta Dynamics A6350 4-foot Cross Arm Strap is an essential component of any high-performance fall protection system. This 4-pack of anchor straps provides a versatile, reusable anchorage point for structural steel beams, wood members, or other suitable structures. Featuring a dual D-ring pass-through design, the A6350 offers a quick, secure, and OSHA-compliant solution for workers at height who require mobile and reliable tie-off points.
Built to Endure the Toughest Industrial Job Sites
Crafted from high-tenacity polyester webbing and reinforced with heavy-duty contrast stitching, the A6350 is built for extreme durability. A critical feature of this strap is the integrated **abrasion wear pad**, which protects the primary load-bearing webbing from sharp edges and snags, significantly extending the strap's service life. With a minimum tensile breaking strength of 5,000 lbs and a high-visibility orange finish, these straps ensure both structural reliability and easy safety compliance monitoring from the ground.
Easy Installation and Multiple Configuration Options
The A6350 installs effortlessly by wrapping it around a structural beam or member and passing the small D-ring through the larger D-ring. This pass-through design creates a secure anchorage point for lanyards, lifelines, or other compatible ANSI-rated fall protection systems. The strap supports various configurations, including basket, saddle, or choker setups. For projects requiring a longer reach, view the Malta Dynamics A6351 6-foot Cross Arm Strap.

Malta Dynamics A6350 4-foot Cross Arm Strap FAQ
1. What is the purpose of the secondary "wear pad" on the strap?
The wear pad is an additional layer of heavy-duty webbing that slides along the main strap. It is designed to be placed against the rough or sharp edges of a beam to prevent the primary load-bearing webbing from being cut or abraded.
2. Can I use the A6350 in a "Basket" configuration?
Yes. In a Basket Hitch, the strap loops around the beam and both D-rings are connected to the same carabiner. Ensure your connector is properly rated for the dual-loading of the eyes.
3. How do I know if the beam I am wrapping is safe to use?
A qualified Competent Person must identify the anchor point. Per OSHA, the structure must be capable of supporting a 5,000-lb static load per worker attached.
4. Can I wrap the strap around a beam multiple times?
You can wrap the strap to shorten it, but ensure the webbing does not overlap in a way that causes excessive friction or prevents the small D-ring from passing completely through the large D-ring.
5. Is the A6350 resistant to chemicals or welding sparks?
Polyester webbing can be damaged by acids or high heat. For welding applications, a Malta Wire Rope Sling A6205 may be required, as sparks can easily melt or weaken synthetic webbing.
6. How often do these straps need to be replaced?
They must be inspected before every use. If there are any cuts, burns, frayed stitching, or if it is involved in a fall arrest, it must be removed from service and destroyed immediately.
7. How do I avoid common mistakes during installation?
- 1. Improper D-Ring Seating: Ensure the small D-ring is pulled completely through the large D-ring.
- 2. Wear Pad Misplacement: Always ensure the black wear pad is positioned between the orange webbing and the sharpest edge of the beam.
- 3. Angle of Loading: Avoid loading at angles greater than 45 degrees, which increases tension beyond the rated capacity.
