Gridmesh Temporary Fall Arrest Anchor 22kN (GMA)

The Gridmesh Anchor TM (GMA) is a personal fall protection product that has been created to enable you to set a temporary fall-arrest anchor without the need for tools, as well as remove the risk of a fall in both the set-up and decommission process.

Features and benefits:

• Rated as a two person anchor to 22.2kN (or 5000lb) in compliance with AS/NZS1891.4 and AS/NZS5532;

• Will not place load on the grid mesh – all load is transferred to the structure through solid rubberised feet on the base;

• Hi-visibility markers shine in the dark under applied light;

• Made in approved safety colours;

• Tapered edges avoid trip hazard;

• Carried by one person – all components in one kit (total 20kg).

• Simplicity means higher chance of worker engagement in safe operating practice;

• Easy to train staff in set up and removal - can be installed in 5 minutes by two people;

• Removes need for latent equipment on site, reducing risk of un-serviced equipment being used;

• No need for rope technicians or the use of an elevated working platform to set anchors under grid mesh structures, saving significant time (1-2 hours);

• Cost saving in equipment for the job – about the same price as a single beam anchor.

It has been developed in response to the industry needs to:

• Provide temporary anchorages on structures covered by grid mesh;

• Provide efficient, secure, temporary systems otherwise requiring rope technicians or EWPs;

• Remove the latent cost of having un-serviced SRLs and anchors in place.
