Complete Fall Protection Kit for Roofing – Super Anchor 3205 Safety Bucket Kit
The Super Anchor 3205 Safety Bucket Kit offers roofing professionals a comprehensive fall protection solution, ensuring safety and compliance with OSHA and ANSI standards. This kit includes everything needed for secure, high-reach roof work: a 30 ft. Sidewinder Retractable Lifeline 2903K, a Hi-Viz Pro Series safety harness 6101HL (Large) or 6101HM (Medium), a Hinge 2 reusable roof anchor 3013-D, an inline energy absorber 6184, and a durable storage bucket. For contractors seeking a smaller 20-foot reach, the Super Anchor 3204 Safety Bucket Kit is also available.
Versatile Pro Series Safety Harness with Hi-Viz Webbing
The Pro Series Safety Harness included in the 3205 kit combines high visibility with industrial comfort for extended use. This harness features Hi-Viz webbing and Tri-Lam3 padding on the shoulders and legs, specifically designed to prevent sweat and water absorption. Available in Medium and Large sizes, the harness ensures a secure fit for workers with a maximum capacity of 300 pounds (including tools). The 5-point adjustment system and coated adjuster buckles enhance durability and safety throughout the 2026 work season.
Hinge 2 Reusable Roof Anchor and 30' Sidewinder SRL
The Hinge 2 3013-D Roof Anchor is a versatile, reusable attachment point designed for both flat and pitched roofs. The 3205 kit includes a complete fastener package (36 zinc-coated duplex nails and 25 wood screws) for immediate deployment. Paired with the 30-ft. Sidewinder Retractable Lifeline (SRL) 2903K, this system provides 50% more reach than standard 20-ft. kits. The Sidewinder features a galvanized cable and a 3,600 lb gate-rated swivel snap hook with a built-in impact indicator. To ensure maximum safety, the included inline energy absorber limits fall-arrest forces to 900 pounds.

Super Anchor 3205 Safety Bucket Kit FAQ
1. What is the difference between the 3205 and 3204 kits?
The primary difference is the Sidewinder SRL's length. The 3205 kit features a 30-foot cable lifeline (2903K), while the 3204 kit features a 20-foot cable. The 3205 is better suited for larger roof sections where extra mobility is required.
2. Can I use a rope grab with this kit?
This kit uses a mechanical retractable lifeline (SRL), which negates the need for a rope grab on a vertical lifeline. However, for users who prefer traditional rope systems, the Super Anchor 4015-Z Rope Grab can be purchased separately for use with 5/8" ropes.
3. Is the included Hinge 2 anchor a permanent solution?
The 3013-D Hinge 2 is a reusable temporary anchor. It is perfect for contractors who move from roof to roof. If you require an anchor that is flashed permanently into the roof, we recommend the Super Anchor 1030 ARS Permanent Anchor.
4. What is the weight capacity for the 3205 kit?
The entire system is rated for a single user with a combined weight (including tools and clothing) of up to 300 lbs. This ensures the 6184 energy absorber and 2903K SRL function within their certified safety parameters.
5. Does the kit include everything needed for OSHA compliance?
Yes. As long as the anchor is installed correctly into structural members and the worker is trained, this kit provides a complete OSHA-compliant personal fall arrest system (PFAS) for roofing applications.
6. How do I maintain the Sidewinder cable?
Inspect the galvanized cable daily for any signs of "bird-nesting," kinks, or broken strands. If the cable is damaged or if the impact indicator on the snap hook has been deployed, the unit must be removed from service immediately.
7. How do I avoid common mistakes with the 3205 kit?
- 1. Fastener Security: Always fill all required fastener holes in the Hinge 2 anchor using the provided Grade 8 screws or nails into structural trusses.
- 2. Harness Adjustment: A loose harness can cause severe injury during fall arrest; ensure the 5-point adjustment is snug against the body.
- 3. Storage: Always store the components in the provided bucket with the lid secured to prevent UV damage or chemical exposure to the webbing.
