ROOFTOP SAFETY SOLUTIONS

The Force Management Anchorage offers tremendous versatility due to its abililty to attach to many different kinds of roof deck regardless of structure available. This anchor is classified as a deforming anchor (tipover style). The unique energy absorbing system inside this anchor reduces the overturning moment on the structure by over half (compared with a typical rigid anchor). Their only limitation is they cannot be used for suspended access. These are ideal, however, for retrofit projects.

Pipe wrap anchorages offer a tie-off solution when structurally adequate steel tube or columns are available. These are particularly helpful when existing stanchion anchors have undersized loops.

Undermount anchorages attach to the underside of a wood truss on a sloped roof and have a swiveling stainless steel loop for 360-degree access.

Use these kits on open web joist framing and other conditions in which the structure is insufficient to provide the necessary strength for fall arrest events.

Rigging Sleeves are a structural conduit, and are designed to allow proper rigging configurations when building features obstruct safe access to work areas. These systems are specifically designed to accommodate building layout and worker access requirements.

Rigging Sleeves can provide a solution to safely reach difficult access points such as atriums, roof overhangs, cornices, facade step-backs, interior walls, and unique or protruding architecture. A variety of models are available, all designed to support powered platforms, single worker cages, or powered bosun chairs.

Pinned outrigger beams utilize our Axis Anchorages instead of counterweights to secure them to the rooftop. These provide peace of mind for building owners by reducing the risk of window cleaners damaging expensive non-structural architectural elements like louvers, eyebrows, sun shades, awnings, glass railing or non-loading bearing parapets.

Pinned Outrigger Beams are routinely used to support rope descent systems, powered platforms, single worker cages or powered bosun chair access. These are ideal on retrofit projects because, unlike davits, they typically don’t require the same degree of bracing and reinforcing. These can also be conveniently and easily repositioned and stored out of view after use.

Davit arms are traditionally associated with suspending powered platforms from buildings, but they are also useful for rope descent systems by creating a suspension point outboard of architectural elements like louvers, eyebrows, sun shades, awnings, glass railing and non-loading bearing parapets.

These systems are most frequently designed into new construction projects because they required substantial structure around the perimeter of the building. We routinely design davits to support rope descent systems, powered platforms, single worker cages or powered bosun chairs. Similiar to Outrigger Beams, these can be conveniently and easily repositioned and stored out of view.

Mini davit systems are lighter, smaller, and more mobile, and can be installed to access hard-to-reach areas. Mini davit systems have the same attributes of the davits described above.
