1028 Swivel-D Anchor with 360 Degree D-Ring
The Super Anchor 1028 Swivel-D is a fully articulating PPE anchor point built around a forged, zinc plated steel D-ring with a 2.0 inch inside diameter, a 304 stainless steel shackle, and stainless bushings. The D-ring rotates 360 degrees and flips 180 degrees, so the anchor loads correctly no matter which direction the work takes you. Minimum tensile strength is 5,000 lb with a 3,600 lb proof load, and every anchor ships with a factory 5/8 inch attachment bolt, lock nut, and PID inspection label.
One anchor bolts to structural steel, wood beams, 2x framing, metal decking, concrete, and Super Anchor CRA risers, D-Plates, wood purlin anchors, and the 1207 standing seam plate, which makes it the universal connection point across the Super Anchor commercial line. Compliant with ANSI Z359.18-17 Type A and OSHA 1926.502.
Who Needs This Product
The 1028 Swivel-D is the anchorage connector for one worker at up to 310 lb including tools and equipment, used for fall arrest and work positioning. It is the PPE attachment point of the system: each worker still wears a full body harness connected by an energy-absorbing lanyard, a lifeline with a rope grab, or an SRL that complies with current OSHA, ANSI, or CSA standards. Crews that already run Super Anchor CRA risers, D-Plates, or 1207 standing seam plates use the Swivel-D as the common tie-off point across all of them, and it also serves as an end anchorage in engineered horizontal lifeline systems with anchors spaced a maximum of 20 ft apart.
Features
Fully articulating D-ring
The forged D-ring rotates 360 degrees and flips 180 degrees on stainless bushings, so the anchor aligns to the load direction instead of side-loading.
Bolts to nearly any structure
Structural steel from 1/4 inch, 3/4 inch plywood, wood beams, 2x framing, Type B 22 gauge metal decking, and 2,000 PSI concrete with a 5/8 inch expansion bolt.
Attaches across the Super Anchor line
Bolts directly to CRA threaded top risers, the D-Plate anchor, the 2x wood purlin anchor, and the 1207 standing seam anchor plate.
Permanent or temporary
Install it as a permanent fixture on the structure or move it job to job. Interior or exterior use.
Factory bolt and label included
Ships with a certified 5/8 inch attachment bolt and lock nut plus a PID inspection label, retail packaged.
Two bushing sizes
The standard 5/8 inch bushing fits Super Anchor hardware and structural bolting; the 3/8 inch bushing version fits 3/8 inch bolt applications.

Meets the anchorage criteria for construction fall protection, with structural support per OSHA 1910.140.
5,000 lb Forged Construction
Forged zinc plated D-ring with a 5,000 lb minimum tensile strength and a 3,600 lb factory proof load.
PID Inspection Label
Every anchor carries a PID label with model, capacity, and compliance data plus an annual inspection record tag.
Typical Applications
Installation Overview
Full procedures and the substrate bolt length table are in the instruction manual linked below. The essentials:
- Confirm the structure supports 5,000 lb or 2 times the intended load, and locate steel bolt holes a minimum of 1 inch on center from any edge.
- Select the certified bolt length for the substrate from Table 1.0 of the manual (2.0 inch for structural steel and standing seam, 2-1/2 inch for 3/4 inch plywood, 4.0 inch for 2x4 purlins, job specified for beams and concrete).
- Install with a flat washer where specified, and torque so the bolt thread penetrates the lock nut a minimum of 1/8 inch.
- On the 1207 standing seam plate, bolt through the plate center hole with the Super Anchor supplied bolt; on Z-purlins and metal panels use the 1028-BP1 base plate with caulked, waterproofed connections.
- Confirm the D-ring rotates freely and the shackle plate is installed flat side down before use.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect before installation and each use, and keep a record of annual inspections by a qualified or competent person. Remove the anchor from service when any of the following apply:
- The D-ring does not rotate easily after cleaning and inspection of the bushing assembly.
- Deformation, cracks, or bends are present in the D-ring or shackle.
- Rust is present that does not clean up with cold zinc coating.
- Lock nut is loose or minimum thread penetration is not visible on direct bolted installations.
- The PID label is missing and cannot be replaced.
- The anchor has been subjected to a fall or other impact force.
Anchors removed from service must be disposed of in a way that prevents further use.
