Super Anchor ARS Type-II Truss Plant Permanent Roof Anchor
The Super Anchor ARS Type-II is a permanent roof anchor designed to install during truss fabrication or at the jobsite. Developed with a major truss hardware manufacturer, it installs with a cordless drill and a single attachment bolt, so anchors can be plotted on the builder plans and fitted to the corresponding truss without lifting the truss or driving nails.
The Type-II is factory fitted with a warning label over the attachment hole to remind users that the structure must be properly braced before use. It carries a minimum strength rating of 6,000 pounds for the 14 gauge material and meets OSHA and ANSI requirements. This 2-pack kit includes two ARS Type-II anchors, each supplied with a TPE flashing boot, a stem cover, and a tether strap.
This product is sold as a 2-pack kit. Each anchor includes a TPE flashing boot and stem cover.
Who Needs This Product
The ARS Type-II is a permanent roof anchor for truss manufacturers and production builders who want fall protection fitted during truss fabrication or early framing. The single bolt install suits factory and jobsite work where speed and repeatable placement matter. Complete the system with a full-body harness, a connecting device, and a competent-person layout.
Features
One person, single bolt install
Fits with a cordless drill, air ratchet, socket, or wrench using a single attachment bolt.
Built for the truss plant
Designed for production truss factory installation and bulk packaged for that environment.
No nails, no truss lifting
Anchors plot on the builder plans and fit the corresponding truss without lifting it.
Factory warning label
A label covers the attachment hole to warn that the structure must be braced before use.
6,000 lb strength rating
Minimum 6,000 lb rating for the 14 gauge stainless steel material.
Kit option
The 1068-B bulk kit adds TPE flashing, a stem cover, and a tether strap.
The structure must be fully braced and sheathed before the Type-II is used for fall protection. The anchor is an anchorage point only; use a full-body harness with a connecting device and confirm fall clearance. Teko nails alone do not arrest a fall; the attachment bolt is required. Run the Fall Protection Calculator below before you tie off.
