Mobile anchor

Eurosafe Solutions Pty Ltd installs the Latchways mobile man anchor is a freestanding Constant Force® post for use as a single point anchor conforming to BS EN 795 Class E and can also be used as part of a Latchways ManSafe® horizontal cable system, which has been independently tested. The post is used on nominally flat roofs with a maximum pitch of 5º where it is impracticable to install Constant Force® posts or rigid anchor posts to the roof or supporting structure. The post has been tested and approved for use on the following roof types: Concrete Single ply membrane Bitumen membrane Asphalt sanded/stone chipped Steel roof profiles

The Constant Force® post is contained within an anchor device consisting of a galvanised steel frame and galvanised steel weights bolted in a circular formation onto rubber coated base weights. The interlocking segments are arranged in a circular form, ensuring that the post is omni-directional, while each segment has an integral carry handle and has a maximum weight of 25kg. No part of the anchor device is positioned less than 2.5m from any roof edge, including skylights and hatches, so that the end user is always in fall restraint.

As with all ManSafe® systems, it is essential to use a full body harness and energy absorbing lanyard to appropriate national standards. In the event of a fall, the Constant Force® post deploys to limit the load on the system while the weights simultaneously create a friction anchor between the unit and the roof surface.

The post must never be used during periods of adverse weather conditions (i.e. frost, snow or freezing conditions) or if the roof surface is contaminated by algae, grease, oil or any other type of lubricant.
