Mobile Man Anchor

A portable mobile man anchor provides an affordable temporary safety option when other roof safety measures aren’t available.

The freestanding anchor device is suitable for use on any flat roof surface, including single-ply membrane, asphalt, concrete, stone chippings, and mineral felt. Often referred to as dead weight anchors, they are quick and easy to assemble, making them an ideal solution for short-term roof work.

TEMPORARY SAFETY SOLUTION

Mobile man anchors are designed for use with personal protection equipment (PPE) such as a harness and lanyard and feature a central pedestal to provide fall protection for a single worker and fall restraint for two people when working at least 2.5m from the edge of the roof. 

Our modular-based anchors will not penetrate your roof and include suction cups to the underside of the weights, which protect the roof’s surface and increase the frictional resistance. The systems use a minimal number of components, so they are easy to install and move around the roof.  

Two or more mobile man anchors can be linked by a horizontal lifeline cable to provide a temporary freestanding lifeline system for short-term maintenance work.
