Super Anchor 1050-G Rigging Kit – Horizontal Lifeline Termination Hardware
The Super Anchor 1050-G Rigging Kit is a fully engineered solution for secure, robust horizontal lifeline (HLL) termination, specifically designed to work with CRA Commercial Roof Anchor posts. This rigging kit includes all the critical hardware required to create an OSHA-compliant, permanent lifeline installation. Each component is chosen for industrial durability and ease of tension adjustment, providing end-to-end support for cable spans up to 120 feet. For contractors outfitting a metal roof, the Super Anchor 1207 Plate Kit is the ideal mounting base for this system.

Engineered Components for Permanent 2026 HLL Systems
The 1050-G kit provides a turnkey termination solution by integrating high-strength galvanized and stainless-steel hardware. The core of the system is the 316 stainless steel in-line energy absorber, which is rated for a 5,000-lb breaking strength and limits peak deployment forces to 1,200 lb. To maintain proper line tension, the kit uses heavy-duty turnbuckles (one for spans up to 60' and two for spans up to 120'), each with a 5,200-lb working load limit. The kit is rounded out with galvanized cable thimbles, heavy-duty clamps, and the SAS Coupler Adapter, ensuring every connection point in the system is rated for a 5,000-lb tie-off.
Continuous Mobility and Pass-Thru Compatibility
A key feature of the 1050-G kit is the inclusion of Connector O-Rings and Pass-Thru Converters. The O-Rings are permanently attached to the HLL cable, allowing workers to maintain 100% tie-off while sliding freely between anchors. The Pass-Thru Converters allow standard CRA posts to function as intermediate bypass supports, ensuring the lifeline remains at a safe working height without requiring the user to disconnect. This makes it a premier choice for warehouse roofs, solar arrays, and industrial catwalks.

Super Anchor 1050-G Rigging Kit FAQ
1. Does this kit include the actual lifeline cable?
No, the 1050-G is a hardware termination kit. You must purchase the lifeline cable separately. For permanent 120-foot spans, we recommend using 3/8" Stainless Steel 7x19 Wire Rope to ensure maximum corrosion resistance and safety.
2. Which anchors are compatible with this rigging kit?
This kit is specifically engineered to integrate with the Super Anchor CRA Commercial Roof Anchors. It can be used with various CRA heights and mounting styles, including bolt-on, weld-on, and concrete embedment.
3. Why are two turnbuckles required for spans over 60 feet?
Longer spans experience more "sag" and environmental expansion/contraction. Using two turnbuckles allows you to pull tension from both ends of the system, ensuring the cable remains at the specified tension required by the HLL engineering plan.
4. Is the energy absorber reusable after a fall?
No. The stainless steel absorber is a "one-and-done" safety component. If it has been deployed during a fall-arrest event, it will exhibit visible elongation and must be replaced immediately to maintain the system's certification.
5. Can this kit be used on a temporary basis?
While the components are durable enough for permanent outdoor exposure, the 1050-G can be used for temporary HLL setups. However, it is most cost-effective for permanent installations where the hardware remains in place for the life of the safety system.
6. How many workers can use the lifeline at once?
The worker capacity is determined by the engineering of your total system (anchors, cable, and rigging). Standard Super Anchor HLL systems using the 1050-G are typically rated for two users per span, but always refer to your site-specific engineering documents.
7. How do I avoid common mistakes during installation?
- 1. Cable Clamp Orientation: Always ensure the "U-bolt" of the clamp is over the dead end of the rope ("Never saddle a dead horse").
- 2. Tensioning: Do not over-tension the system; use a tension gauge to ensure the cable is set to the specific lbf required by the manual.
- 3. Labeling: Ensure the included label package is permanently attached and legible for future annual inspections.
