Super Anchor D-ShakL2 Anchor for Horizontal Lifeline Systems
The Super Anchor D-ShakL2 is a bolt or weld attached anchor with a 180 degree rotating D-ring, built for horizontal lifeline systems and single point fall arrest. In an HLL application it supports 2 persons in fall arrest or 3 in fall restraint when used with Super Anchor 30 degree fixed length cables. The anchor bolts to structure using two holes for 1/2 inch mounting hardware.
Choose the standard 1029 in Q235 hot dip galvanized steel or the 1029-S with a 316 stainless steel shackle for added corrosion resistance. It meets ANSI Z359.18-17 Type D and OSHA 1926.502 with a 5,000 pound minimum tensile strength, and the heavy duty 3/8 inch galvanized HLL cable is rated for more than 14,000 pounds.
This product is sold in multi-packs. The quantity per pack is shown for each option.
Who Needs This Product
The D-ShakL2 is an anchor for crews rigging a horizontal lifeline or needing a rotating single point anchorage that bolts or welds to structure.

- Rig the cables. Install the 30 degree fixed length cables between anchors, linking legs with end and center anchors.
- Connect. Attach harnesses and energy-absorbing devices to the line.
- Verify. Confirm the anchors and cables are rigged correctly and confirm fall clearance.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect before each use, with a documented competent-person inspection at least annually. Remove the product from service for any condition below.
- Anchor body: cracks, deformation, corrosion, or elongated holes.
- Coating: worn or damaged galvanizing, dacromet, or powder coat at the connection point.
- Fasteners and flashing: loose, missing, backed-out, or leaking hardware.
