Malta X250 Mobile Grabber: Compact Overhead Anchor for Edge and Trench Work, 2 Workers
The Malta Dynamics X250 is a compact mobile fall protection system that delivers an overhead anchor point for edge and trench work, with no fixed building anchor and no ground penetration. Its counterweighted base sets up in a small footprint over excavations, trench boxes, and leading edges, giving up to two workers a tie-off point exactly where fixed anchors are not available.

Who Needs the X250
The X250 is built for overhead tie-off at excavations, trench boxes, and leading edges where a full trailer-mounted grabber is more than the job needs. The compact, counterweighted base sets up in a small footprint with no drilling or ground penetration, providing up to two workers with an overhead anchor point rated to 310 lbs.

Two-worker overhead anchor
An overhead tie-off point rated to 310 lbs supports up to two workers for fall arrest or fall restraint.
Edge and trench ready
Sized for trench boxes, excavations, and leading-edge work where a full trailer grabber will not fit.
Forklift portable
