Ridge Pro Anchor System
The Ridge Pro and 50' lifeline bundle allows workers to anchor to most roofs and maintain 100% tie-off while on the roof. Experience enhanced safety and efficiency with the Ridge Pro Anchor and 50' vertical lifeline bundle. Roofing professionals, including contractors, solar installers, insurance adjusters, holiday light installers, chimney sweeps, telecommunications installers, and gutter installers use the Ridge Pro for fast and secure anchoring on most roof types. This innovative "first man up" roof anchoring system covers roof pitches from 6/12 to 12/12. The Ridge Pro system simplifies access compared to traditional methods by offering a secure, quick, and adaptable solution with its lightweight, durable aluminum body and stainless steel rope shackle. Compliant with OSHA and ANSI testing protocols for single-user anchorage, it supports static strengths exceeding 5,000 lbs., ensuring maximum safety on the roof.
Added Bonus: Malta Dynamics Vertical Lifeline
Included in this bundle is the Malta Dynamics C7050 50' vertical lifeline with shock-absorbing lanyard and rope grab. It offers reliable fall protection, enhancing the overall safety and efficiency of roofing operations. The robe grab allows workers to stay tethered to the lifeline at various distances away from the anchor point. The shock-absorbing lanyard effectively reduces impact loads on the worker in the event of a fall.
Setting Up the Ridge Pro Anchor: Pole Preparation:
1. Acquire a Wooster Sherlock R057 (8'-16') extension pole, available locally at most Home Depot stores' paint department, typically around $40. Purchasing locally saves money and avoids shipping damages. Remove the screws holding the threaded tip at the end of the pole and drill holes with a 1/4" bit to accommodate the clevis pin that will lock the Ridge Pro device onto the pole.
2. Attaching the Anchor: Slide the Ridge Pro post inside the drilled pole and secure it using the provided clevis pin.
3. Anchoring on Roof: Position the Ridge Pro over the roof peak. Secure it using four 5/16" x 1-1/2" lag bolts (sold separately) through the pre-drilled holes in its cross members. Ensure it's anchored firmly to withstand impact loads.
4. Attach the lifeline to the Ridge Pro unit. Use the rope grab for controlled ascent and descent, adjusting it to maintain safety while moving across the roof.
5. Post-Use: Upon completing the work, remove the bolts and seal the holes with weatherproof roofing sealant to prevent any potential leaks or damage.
