Features & Benefits
EASY TO INSTALL
The Tank Fall Protection Anchor system ships fully fabricated and assembled to maintain control on quality and safety. This approach also helps to reduce the field installation time. You also do not have to use any special tools for the install.
PROTECTING THE TANK RESERVOIR
At every point where the aluminum fall protection system comes in contact with the tank or water reservoir we provide a dielectric protective cover. This feature is to preserve the protective coating on the tank’s surface.
RUGGED CONSTRUCTION
We recognize that the tank fall protection system needs to survive outdoors in the elements. The reservoir fall protection system is built to survive with system all aluminum framework and stainless steel hardware.
NON-PENETRATING
The Tank Fall Protection Anchor will clamp around the center vent without requiring any penetration or welding to the tank’s surface. This approach avoids any possible damage to the tank outer coating or contamination of the contents.
FALL RESTRAINT & ARREST CAPABILITY
The Tank Fall Protection Anchor is rated to support two users in fall arrest or restraint when used under the supervision of a Qualified person.
ADJUSTABLE
The threaded stainless steel rods allows the adjustment of the clamps to the diameter of the vent. Vent diameter can vary from 18″ to 48″. The legs are also adjustable to match the slope on the tank.
100% FALL PROTECTION
All the components make up the Tank Fall protection anchor system for providing accessibility and fall protection.
Cable Lifeline – The cable lifeline extends to the point of entry at the top of the reservoir. User will tie-off by the entry point and remain tied off while on top of the tank.
Full Body Harness & Shock Absorbing Lanyard – A shock absorbing lanyard suspended from the dorsal D-ring of the full body harness is connected to the cable grab. In the event of a fall the shock absorbing lanyard and harness will reduce the fall impact load on the body.
Trolley & Tank Vent Ring Anchor – The trolley glides around the anchor track to provide the user with 360 degrees of accessibility and fall protection around the tank.
