Super Anchor 1011 2x6 Safety Bar – Advanced Open Framing Fall Protection Anchor
The Super Anchor 1011 2x6 Safety Bar is a revolutionary fall-protection anchor specifically designed for open-truss applications, providing unmatched safety and compliance during the most challenging construction phases. This safety bar spans three trusses, securely locking in place with stainless steel detent pins while precisely gauging the trusses at 24 inches on center. Whether you are working with 2x6 or 2x8 trusses, this safety bar ensures your crew can work with absolute confidence. For those working specifically with 2x4 lumber, we also carry the Super Anchor 1010 Safety Bar.

Engineered for Multi-Truss Load Distribution
The 1011 Safety Bar is the only product on the market tailored specifically for open framing fall protection, making it an essential tool for residential and commercial framing crews. Unlike traditional anchors that attach to a single truss or rafter, this safety bar distributes the impact load across three separate trusses. This 3-point attachment provides a significantly more stable and secure connection point during the vulnerable stages before a roof is fully braced or sheathed. Rated for use with shock-absorbing lanyards or self-retracting lifelines (SRLs), it provides fall protection for up to two workers simultaneously.
Rapid Installation with Patented Quick-Release Pins
The Super Anchor 1011 is designed for speed and simplicity. The patented legs and quick-release detent pins allow for near-instant installation. This innovative design not only secures the anchor but also serves as a physical gauge to ensure your top chords are set at 24 inches on-center. By establishing a reliable tie-off point before sheathing begins, this safety bar is indispensable for maintaining OSHA compliance during the most critical windows of structural framing.

Super Anchor 1011 2x6 Safety Bar FAQ
1. Can this be used on 2x4 trusses?
While the 1011 is designed to accommodate the larger width of 2x6 and 2x8 trusses, the Super Anchor 1010 is the specific model designed for a perfect fit on 2x4 lumber. Using a bar that is too large for the truss chord can prevent the locking pins from engaging correctly.
2. How many people can tie off to one safety bar?
The 1011 Safety Bar is rated for two workers for either fall arrest or fall restraint. This makes it a highly efficient tool for framing teams working in pairs to set and brace trusses.
3. Is this anchor compatible with Self-Retracting Lifelines (SRLs)?
Yes. The 1011 has been rigorously tested for use with both vertical lifelines and retractable lifelines (SRLs). It is engineered to handle the dynamic forces generated during a fall-arrest event in open-framing environments.
4. Does the bar need to be removed before roof sheathing?
Yes. The Safety Bar is a temporary anchorage device. Once the trusses are braced and sheathing begins, the bar is removed by pulling the quick-release pins. For permanent protection after the roof is sheathed, we recommend the Super Anchor 1030 ARS Anchor.
5. Why is the 3-truss span important?
In open framing, a single truss lacks the lateral stability to withstand a fall arrest load on its own. By bridging three trusses, the 1011 Safety Bar leverages the structure's collective strength, significantly reducing the risk of truss failure or rotation during a fall.
6. How do I avoid common mistakes during installation?
- 1. Pin Engagement: Always ensure the stainless steel pins are fully inserted and locked through the leg assembly and under the truss chord.
- 2. On-Center Spacing: The 1011 is strictly for 24-inch on-center truss spacing. Do not attempt to use it on 16-inch spacing as the pins will not align.
- 3. Inspection: Check the detent pins for any signs of bending or rust before every work shift.
