3013-D Hinge-2 Adjustable Reusable Anchor, 3-Pack
The Super Anchor 3013-D Hinge-2 is the adjustable, reusable temporary anchor: 19 inches of 11 gauge steel with hinge shackles that adjust to the pitch, a forged dacromet coated D-ring, and a 5,000 lb minimum tensile strength. It mounts at the ridge or in the field, and unlike basic hinged anchors it can also anchor a self-retracting lifeline when attached with WS 3.0 hex head screws. This listing is a 3-pack.
One worker at up to 310 lb including tools, 6 ft maximum free fall, on slopes to 24/12 with WS 3.0 wood screws or 12/12 with 16d nails and #12 screws. Temporary only, removed after use. Compliant with OSHA 1926.502 and ANSI Z359.1-07 per the 2024 Hinge-2 manual.
Who Needs This Product
The Hinge-2 is for roofing and solar crews who want one adjustable anchor across every pitch they work: the shackle hinge articulates for ridge or field mounting a minimum of 6 ft from any gable edge, over a minimum 2x4 top chord with 7/16 inch OSB sheathing. Each worker wears a full body harness with connectors carrying 3,600 lb gate strengths per current ANSI and CSA standards. Not for window washing, work positioning, or scaffolding tie-off, and never rig an HLL from nail-attached anchors.
Features
Adjustable hinge shackles
Welded shackle hinges articulate so the D-ring loads correctly on ridge or field mounts across pitches.
Forged dacromet D-ring
Forged, dacromet coated D-ring on 11 gauge steel with a 5,000 lb minimum tensile strength; 3013-S stainless version available for special order.
SRL anchorage capable
Anchors a self-retracting lifeline when attached with WS 3.0 hex head screws per the manual figures.
24/12 slope rating
WS 3.0 wood screws carry it to 24/12; 16d nails and #12 screws to 12/12.
Perimeter fastener holes
Multiple fastener locations lock the anchor to the framing through the sheathing.
Reusable 3-pack
Remove after use, inspect, and move to the next job.

Typical Applications
Installation Overview
Full figures and fastener specifications are in the manual linked below. The basics:
- Mount at the ridge or in the field, a minimum of 6 ft from any gable edge, over a minimum 2x4 top chord with 7/16 inch OSB sheathing installed.
- Choose fasteners for the slope: WS 3.0 hex head wood screws to 24/12, or 16d nails and #12 screws to 12/12.
- Drive fasteners through the perimeter holes into framing, with the shackle welds and D-ring oriented downslope.
- For SRL anchorage, attach with WS 3.0 hex head screws per the manual figures.
- Work within 30 degrees of vertical center for fall arrest, or rig 360 degree fall restraint without free fall exposure.
- Remove after use, inspect the shackle welds and D-ring, and redeploy on the next job.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect before installation and each use, with documented annual inspections. Remove the anchor from service when any of the following apply:
- The D-ring or shackle is deformed, or shackle welds show cracks.
- The anchor body is bent or fastener holes are elongated.
- The anchor was subjected to a free fall.
- Corrosion is present that does not clean up.
- The wrong fastener type was used for the slope or application.
Tag anchors removed from service to prevent further use until inspected by a qualified or competent person.
