12-Pack of 4-foot Malta Dynamics A6400 Concrete Anchor Straps – Heavy-Duty Pour-In-Place Anchorage
The 4-foot Malta Dynamics A6400 Concrete Anchor Straps in this 12-pack feature dual-reinforced polyester webbing and heavy-duty contrast stitching for long-lasting durability. A premium heavy-duty outer sheath shields the inner load-bearing core against abrasions and wear, ensuring reliable performance in the harshest masonry environments. Each strap delivers a minimum tensile breaking strength of 5,000 lbs, providing dependable anchorage for temporary or permanent pour-in-place applications.
Engineered for Concrete Pours.
Watch this technical overview to learn how to properly secure the Malta Dynamics A6400 Concrete Anchor Strap to rebar and ensure a compliant tie-off point once the concrete cures.
High-Visibility Anchors with Signature Orange Accents
Featuring Malta Dynamics' signature orange accents, these straps improve visibility on the job site, making it easier for safety managers to identify compliant anchor points from a distance. This anchor strap bundle is ideal for building construction, rebar work, wood framework, and pipe racking. Each strap is designed with a small webbed loop for structural attachment and a large galvanized steel D-ring for secure attachment to fall-arrest gear.
OSHA and ANSI Compliance for Masonry Construction
Safety and compliance are at the core of the A6400 design. These straps meet OSHA 1910, OSHA 1926 Subpart M, ANSI Z359.18-2018, and ANSI A10.32-12 standards. With a worker weight capacity range of 130–310 lbs, these lightweight anchors (only 1.5 lbs each) are easy to transport and store, ensuring your team always has access to top-quality safety equipment during the critical pouring phase of construction.

Malta Dynamics A6400 Concrete Anchor Strap FAQ
1. How is the A6400 Concrete Strap permanently installed?
The looped webbed end of the strap is wrapped around a structural rebar member or reinforced mat before the concrete is poured. Once the concrete is poured and cured, the strap is permanently embedded, leaving only the galvanized D-ring exposed as a tie-off point.
2. Is this a reusable anchor?
No. Once the concrete has cured around the strap, it cannot be removed without damaging the structure. When the job is finished, the exposed portion of the strap is typically cut off and discarded, making it a "disposable" anchor solution for temporary fall protection during construction.
3. Can I use the A6400 around sharp-edged I-beams like a cross-arm strap?
While the A6400 has a protective sheath, it is specifically designed for concrete pour-in-place applications. For wrapping around structural steel I-beams, the A6350 Cross Arm Strap is the correct tool, as its wear pad is engineered for that specific type of friction.
4. What is the minimum concrete strength required?
The A6400 is rated for a 5,000-lb breaking strength, but the anchor's safety depends on the cured concrete. Most engineering specs require a minimum concrete strength (typically 3,000 PSI) before the anchor can be utilized for fall arrest. Refer to the Malta A6400 Instructions above.
5. Does the outer sheath serve a safety purpose?
Yes. The heavy-duty sheath protects the internal load-bearing polyester webbing from the abrasive nature of concrete and rebar. If the outer sheath is cut or significantly damaged, the strap must be removed from service.
6. Can more than one worker tie off to a single concrete strap?
No. Each A6400 is a single-user anchorage connector. Attaching multiple workers to one strap is a violation of OSHA and ANSI standards and could lead to system failure during a fall event.
7. How do I avoid common mistakes during pour-in-place installation?
- 1. Improper Depth: Ensure the looped end is secured deep enough into the rebar cage so it won't pull through the concrete surface under load.
- 2. Rebar Attachment: Never just "drop" the strap into wet concrete. It must be mechanically fastened to structural rebar to meet the 5,000-lb rating.
- 3. D-Ring Contamination: Keep the galvanized D-ring free of wet concrete during the pour. Concrete buildup inside the D-ring can prevent safety connectors from locking properly.
