Super Anchor Temporary ARS 2x8 Reusable Roof Anchor
The Super Anchor Temporary ARS 2x8 follows the same design principles as the ARS permanent roof anchors but is built for framing tradesmen who need a quick, reusable anchorage for lanyards, lifelines, or self-retracting lifelines. It is made from 11 gauge powder coated steel and comes with a 3/8 inch stainless steel detent pin with an elastic tether.
One anchor covers a range of framing. The 1014 fits 2x4, 2x6, and 2x8 trusses and rafters. It is rated for OSHA fall arrest with a 5,000 pound minimum tensile strength and a 310 pound maximum user weight, and the powder coat finish stands up to jobsite use.

Who Needs This Product
The Temporary ARS 2x8 is a reusable roof anchor for framers and roofers who need a fast, movable tie-off during construction. It fits common truss and rafter sizes and pairs with a lanyard, lifeline, or self-retracting lifeline. Complete the system with a full-body harness and an energy-absorbing connecting device.
Features
Reusable across framing
Fits 2x4, 2x6, and 2x8 trusses and rafters, so one anchor covers the job.
Quick detent pin install
A 3/8 inch stainless steel detent pin with an elastic tether locks the anchor fast.
Heavy duty 11 gauge steel
Powder coated steel construction stands up to jobsite use.

OSHA fall arrest rated with a 5,000 lb minimum tensile strength.
