Anchorage Connectors

The tie-off adapter, boom belt, and scaffold choker are designed to be used as an anchorage connector for a personal fall arrest, restraint, work positioning, suspension, or rescue system. Tie-off adapters and scaffold chokers may be used as an anchorage connector for a horizontal lifeline if the system is designed, installed, and used under the supervision of a qualified person. Do not hang, lift, or support tools or equipment from this equipment.

Kevlar web tie-off adapters should be used when working with high-temperature tools or materials, or in high-temperature environments (foundries, chemical manufacturing, steel fabrication, emergency rescue services, fire services, welders, oil industry, nuclear industry).

Purpose-Built For:

PERSONAL FALL ARREST: The anchorage connector is used as a component of a personal fall arrest system. Personal fall arrest systems typically include a full-body harness and a connecting subsystem, (energy absorbing lanyard). The maximum permissible free fall is six feet.
RESTRAINT: The anchorage connector is used as a component of a restraint system to prevent the user from reaching a fall hazard. Restraint systems typically include a full-body harness and a lanyard or restraint line. No vertical free fall is permitted.
WORK POSITIONING: The anchorage connector is used as a component of a work positioning system to support the user at a work position. Work positioning systems typically include a full-body harness, positioning lanyard, and a backup personal fall arrest system. The maximum permissible free fall is two feet.
PERSONNEL RIDING: The anchorage connector is used as a component of a personnel riding system to suspend or transport the user vertically. Personnel riding systems typically include a full-body harness, boatswain's chair or seat board, and a backup personal fall arrest system. No vertical free fall is permitted.
RESCUE: The anchorage connector is used as a component of a rescue system. Rescue systems are configured depending on the type of rescue. No vertical free fall is permitted.
