Compact Beam Anchor

The Compact Beam Anchor provides an anchorage for one person using a compatible personal fall-protection system. It is not a beam trolley for lifting goods, and its anchorage strength figures must not be treated as a goods-lifting working load limit.

The Compact Beam Anchor is intended for one person using a suitable personal fall-protection system. Users should be trained in the equipment and follow the manufacturer’s instructions, with the anchorage and system selected by a competent person for the work involved.

Fit the Compact Beam Anchor only to a beam whose dimensions, profile and supporting structure meet the manufacturer’s requirements for the exact version supplied. Check the installation instructions before ordering; a beam that fits within a stated size range is not automatically a suitable fall-protection anchorage.

Choose the Compact Beam Anchor when your planned personal fall-protection arrangement needs a single-user beam anchorage and the exact anchor version is compatible with the structure. Confirm the installation requirements and complete system compatibility before selecting it, rather than choosing by product name or strength figures alone.

The manufacturer’s sheet lists 12 kN static strength and 23 kN minimum breaking strength for the Compact Beam Anchor as a personal fall-protection anchorage. These figures describe different strength characteristics; neither is a working load limit for lifting goods or permission to attach additional users.

When using the Compact Beam Anchor for work at height in the UK, consider the applicable work-at-height regulations alongside the manufacturer’s instructions. Have a competent person assess the task, supporting structure and complete fall-protection system, including inspection and rescue arrangements. EN 795:2012 Type B is a product standard, not confirmation that a particular installation or working method meets every legal duty. Refer to current HSE guidance for the requirements relevant to your work.
