Cross-Arm Strap with D-Ring and Web Loop
The 8185 does the wrap-and-choke with a web loop instead of a second D-ring: pass the D-ring end through the loop, cinch onto the member, and clip in. The 3 ft length suits purlins, pipe, and standard structural members.
Built for portable, reusable temporary anchorage compatible with most fall protection systems, at the value end of the anchor strap range.
Who Needs This Product
The loop-style strap is the economical everyday anchor for crews that wrap the same size members all day: one fewer forging keeps cost down while the wrap-and-choke performance stays identical. Other lengths and the two-D-ring 8183 cover members outside the 3 ft wrap range.
Features
Loop-and-Choke Design
Pass the D-ring end through the web loop and cinch; the strap grips the member under load.
Rugged Webbing
Durable webbing built for repeated wraps on rough steel and concrete.
Integral D-Ring
The forged D-ring gives the connecting device a proper interface.
Portable and Reusable
Installs, moves, and reinstalls all day without tools.
Wrap-Around Fit
Adapts to beams and structural members within the wrap range.
System Compatible
Accepts snap hooks and carabiners from any compliant system.
