Assumptions:
1.
Maximum floor width = 1200 mm
2.
The GMA sits, and is positioned so as to transfer load through 2 beams.
3.
All materials are Grade 300 Mpa or better (AS3678 & AS1163)
4.
Floor is fully loaded at 2.5 Kpa (typical design load) - Is equivalent to 255 kg per m^2
5.
Floor mesh and handrails considered to be approx 50 kg per square metre.
6.
A 1.25x factor has been applied to the loads, for error in estimations of operators.
7.
It's assumed the beams are full restrained, buckling has not been considered.
8.
15kN fall arrest anchorage load has been used to one side. This means 2 anchorages can
be used on the same device on either side.

3.0 Installation

Gridmesh Anchor Installation:
A. GMA Assembly (GA03):
on steel structure with 1.2m centres, however can be used on narrower structures by
re-orienting the device diagonally (e.g. 900mm or 750mm). The model GMA04 has
4 4.5
200 UC 46 200 UC 46 additional equipment as second lifting point, however the total haul load MUST NOT

structure should be visually inspected to confirm that it will hold hauling loads. If there is

any doubt about the ability of the system to sustain the loads, the system should not be

installed. If necessary, a structural engineer should validate the structural integrity of the
component members.
