DBI Sala anchorage system for door and window jambs: lightweight and easy to install The anchorage system for door and win- dow jambs has been developed to offer non-intrusive anchorage for personal fall arrest and protection. By using com- mon elements like doors and windows, the anchorage system is wedged against the door or window jamb, compressed and firmly set. And the best feature of this system is that you do not need tools to install it. This anchorage system is suitable not only for initial construction work in homes or business buildings, but turns into an ideal ally in all subsequent tasks for it does not affect surfaces. DBI Sala 7255003 7200439 freestanding counterweight anchorage system As opposed to many other anchorage sys- tems, this non-intrusive device reduces damage to structures and completely eliminates expensive, time-consuming operation and installation. Peter Black- burn, Product Director of Capital Safety, explains: “Our freestanding counter- weight anchor is ideal whenever compa- nies need their workers to carry out tasks on roofs, and it is easy to install as it will not penetrate roof structures. This non-penetrating, ergonomic design is a real advantage for workers”. It also includes ergonomically designed counterweights made of cast iron weigh- ing 20 Kg. each, and 4 to 5 Kg lighter than those used in similar systems. They have a handle for easy transportation and the sides are designed for safe han- dling during installation or piling up of counterweights. With integrated shock- absorption pole, the freestanding coun- terweight anchor offers improved safety to both workers and structure. Rated as fall arrest for one worker, and approved for use on five different types of roofs including concrete, single ply mem- brane, bitumen membrane, asphalt sanded and asphalt stone chippings.
