Mobile Man Anchor

Last Updated: 24th August 2023

When it comes to working at heights, ensuring the safety of every worker is paramount. However, some scenarios make it challenging to install permanent fall protection systems like guardrails or personal fall arrest equipment.

In such cases, Mobile Man Anchors emerge as a practical and cost-effective solution. These portable devices provide an essential layer of protection, offering fall restraint in situations where traditional safety measures are not possible.

Key Features and Benefits:

  1. Temporary Solution for Flat Roofs: They fill the gap when permanent safety installations aren’t possible due to architectural constraints or project requirements.
  2. Simplicity and Ease of Use: With a user-friendly design, these anchors are easy to assemble, disassemble, and maintain, making them a straightforward choice for quick deployment.
  3. Adaptability Across Environments: They excel in various conditions and locations, making them versatile options for different work settings, such as construction and maintenance projects.
  4. Preservation of Roof Integrity: These anchors provide fall restraint without the need for structural attachments, ensuring that the roof’s waterproof covering and structural integrity remain intact.
  5. Accommodation for Multiple Users: Supporting up to two users for fall restraint, Mobile Man Anchors cater to collaborative work scenarios without compromising safety.
  6. Last Resort Fall Arrest: While primarily designed for fall restraint, these anchors can be used as a last resort for fall arrest, accompanied by appropriate fall protection personal protective equipment (PPE).

Mobile Man Anchors represent a pragmatic solution for ensuring fall restraint and safety on flat roofs. Their simplicity, adaptability, and capacity to accommodate multiple users make them an invaluable addition to the toolkit of height safety equipment. When other options are limited, these anchors step in as a reliable choice, upholding safety standards without compromising the integrity of the work environment.

As a leading work-at-height safety company, Heightsafe Systems recognises the importance of Mobile Man Anchors in maintaining safety excellence in diverse and challenging work scenarios.

  • What to be aware of when checking a Mobile Man Anchor

    When checking a mobile man anchor, it’s crucial to ensure that the equipment is in optimal condition to guarantee the safety of workers using it. Here are some important points to be aware of during the inspection process:

    1. Visual Inspection: Start with a thorough visual examination of the entire mobile man anchor system. Look for any signs of damage, corrosion, wear, or deformation on all components.
    2. Anchoring Mechanism: Check the anchoring mechanism, which could be a weight or counterbalance system. Ensure it’s securely in place and functioning correctly. Make sure any locking mechanisms or pins are engaged properly.
    3. Structural Integrity: Examine the structural elements of the anchor, including frames and attachment points. Ensure there are no cracks, bends, or other deformities that could compromise the system’s strength.
    4. Attachment Points: Inspect the attachment points of the anchor to the roof or surface. Ensure there is no damage to the roof membrane or other surface materials. Verify that any fasteners, clamps, or connections are secure.
    5. Cables and Lifelines: Check all cables, lifelines, and connecting hardware. Look for signs of fraying, kinks, or cuts in the cables. Verify that connections are properly secured and that tension is maintained.
    6. Safety Labels and Markings: Ensure that all safety labels and markings on the mobile man anchor are clear and legible. These provide important information about usage, capacity, and inspection requirements.
    7. Moving Parts: If the mobile man anchor has moving parts (such as swivels or hinges), inspect them to ensure they move smoothly and without binding. Lubricate these parts if recommended by the manufacturer.
    8. Fall Protection Points: If the anchor includes attachment points for fall protection equipment, verify that they are in good condition and capable of securely holding the necessary hardware.
    9. Documentation: Review any documentation provided by the manufacturer or supplier. This could include inspection guidelines, maintenance recommendations, and load capacity information.
    10. Regular Maintenance: Consider the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule. Regularly inspect and maintain the anchor according to these guidelines to ensure ongoing safety and functionality.
    11. Training and Knowledge: Ensure that personnel responsible for inspecting the mobile man anchor are properly trained and knowledgeable about fall protection equipment. They should understand the specific requirements and potential hazards.
    12. Environmental Factors: Consider the conditions in which the anchor is being used. Factors like weather, temperature, and exposure to corrosive substances can affect the anchor’s integrity over time.

    Remember that a well-maintained and regularly inspected mobile man anchor is essential for the safety of workers at heights. If any issues or doubts arise during the inspection, it’s advisable to consult the manufacturer or a qualified professional for guidance and necessary repairs.
