| Saflok Concrete Wedge Anchor  DBI-SALA, a Capital Safety brand solely dedicated to the fall protection market, has announced the launch of their New Saflok Concrete Wedge Anchor. The anchor can be reused again and again, thus lowering operating costs and increasing productivity. The anchor is designed to be inserted into a pre-drilled 19mm hole into cured concrete. It provides a safe, 22kN fall arrest rated anchor point for a personal fall arrest system, work positioning system or rescue system. Installation takes just seconds and removal is just as fast. The Exclusive easy grip trigger and quick-release plug boosts productivity by providing immediate anchor removal for added worker satisfaction. The reusable Wedge anchor can be removed and reinstalled in a new location for added jobsite flexibility and lower overall cost of ownership. It virtually eliminates the need for tools to remove a stuck anchor from the hole. "User-friendliness is one of the elements we strive for in product development," states Greg Peterson, Systems Manager for Capital Safety, Australia and New Zealand. "With the Saflok Concrete Wedge Anchor we achieved this objective. We came up with a number of features that contribute to tool-free, immediate removal, where other anchors bring work to a standstill." For added safety, a swivelling forged connection ring provides a compatible tie-off point for a personal fall arrest system. For a longer service life the anchor also incorporates shielded retractor cables to protect against damage caused by grinding against the concrete lip of the hole. The Saflok Concrete Wedge Anchor is constructed from non-corrosive materials and is ideal for vertical use. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
