Roof Man Anchor - Portable Man Anchor

WEIGHTANKA Portable Roof Man Anchor

WEIGHTANKA is a portable roof man anchor device for use on roofs of up to 5 degrees pitch, where the absence of guardrails or permanent anchor devices would otherwise preclude safe means of access. WEIGHTANKA is the first Class ‘E’ anchor device to be approved for use on all roof surfaces when wet and also for use downhill on metal clad roofs (subject to the addition of two extra weights).

Roof Man Anchor

WEIGHTANKA utilises a central pedestal (attachment point) which raises the height at which the arrest force is applied, thus reducing the distance the anchor device moves during a fall arrest event.

Portable Roof Man Anchor

A basic system weights only 250Kg and uses individual, smaller components, with no single item weighting more than 25Kg. The modular construction makes it a very practical and convenient option, easy to lift and carry to and from the point of use.

Features

  • Does not penetrate the roof surface
  • Base layer weights fully encased in rubber moulding
  • Raised central pedestal reduces the distance of travel during a fall arrest event
  • Galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461
  • Conforms to CLASS E EN 795, BS 7883 & ISO 14567
  • CE Approved to PPE Directive
  • Independently tested at N.E.L. (National Engineering Laboratory, East Kilbride, N.B. 0320).

Benefits

  • System for up to two users for restraint
  • Rubber moulded base layer weights prevent rubber pads ‘peeling’ at the edges
  • With the correct model it can be used on various roof surfaces in WET or DRY conditions
