Gemtor SBA-302 Sliding Beam Anchor for 12" - 30" Wide Beams

Overview

This robust and versatile anchorage connector, the Gemtor SBA-302 Sliding Beam Anchor, is specifically designed for secure attachment to I-beams ranging from 12" to 30" wide and up to 2-1/2" thick. Featuring an automatic locking system that adjusts from both ends, this anchor provides fast and secure installation without the need for tools, allowing workers to safely move along a horizontal beam.

The Gemtor SBA-302 Sliding Beam Anchor directly addresses the critical need for a mobile and reliable anchorage point for fall protection when working at height on structural steel beams. Unlike fixed anchors, this sliding beam anchor allows for continuous connection and freedom of movement along the beam, enhancing worker productivity and safety by eliminating the need for repeated anchor point adjustments.

Key benefits include its high-strength aluminum construction, providing a lightweight yet extremely strong and durable anchor point with a minimum breaking strength of 5,000 lbs. Its tool-free installation saves valuable time and effort on the job site. The anchor can be mounted to either the top or bottom horizontal beam flange, offering versatility in application. A unique design feature prevents snaphook gate contact with the beam edge, enhancing safety. Bronze flange inserts allow the anchor to glide smoothly along the top of the beam and offer superior wear resistance compared to nylon pads, ensuring longevity. Despite its strength, the anchor weighs only 7.8 lbs, minimizing added weight to the structure.

This sliding beam anchor is an essential piece of fall protection equipment for ironworkers, construction workers, bridge inspectors, and other professionals working at height on structural steel I-beams. Its ease of installation, mobility, and robust construction provide a safe and efficient anchorage solution, allowing workers to perform their tasks with confidence and security while maintaining continuous fall protection.
