Product Specific Applications

!
WARNING
Personal Fall Arrest: 4-Way Plate Anchor may be used to support a MAXIMUM 1 PFAS for use in
Fall Arrest applications. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the
system of at least 5,000 lbs. Maximum free fall is 6', or up to 12' if used in combination with
equipment explicitly certified for such use. Applicable D-ring: Dorsal.
Restraint: 4-Way Plate Anchor may be used to support a MAXIMUM 2 PFAS for use in Restraint
applications. Restraint systems prevent workers from reaching the leading edge of a fall hazard.
Always account for fully deployed length of lanyard/SRL. Structure must withstand loads applied
in the directions permitted by the system of at least 1,000 lbs. No free fall is permitted. Restraint
systems may only be used on surfaces with slopes up to 4/12 (vertical/horizontal). Applicable
D-rings: Dorsal, Chest, Side, Shoulder.
(including all clothing, tools, and equipment) is 130-420 lbs.

Limitations

Fall Clearance: There must be sufficient
clearance below the anchorage connector
to arrest a fall before the user strikes the
ground or an obstruction. When calculating
fall clearance, account for a MINIMUM 3'
safety factor, deceleration distance, user
height, length of lanyard/SRL, and all other
applicable factors.
Diagram shown is an example fall
clearance calculation ONLY.
Swing Falls: Prior to installation or use, make
considerations for eliminating or minimizing
all swing fall hazards. Swing falls occur when
the anchor is not directly above the location
where a fall occurs. Always work as close to in
line with the anchor point as possible. Swing
falls significantly increase the likelihood of
serious injury or death in the event of a fall.
Use of equipment in unintended applications may result in serious
injury or death. Maximum 1 attachment per connection point.
