PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Figure 1 Illustrates the 3M™ DBI-SALA™ Sliding Beam Anchor. The Sliding Beam Anchor is a single point anchorage connector
for a Fall Arrest or Fall Restraint system designed to be attached to a beam.
Figure 2 illustrates components of the Sliding Beam Anchor. See Table 1 for Component Specifications. The Sliding Beam Anchor
is comprised of a notched Support Bar (A) with a swiveling Connector Ring (B) held in place by the Connector Ring Bracket (C).
Adjustable Hook Ends (D) grip either edge of a beam flange with Tab Locks (E) that engage the notches on the Support Bar. The
Sliding Beam Anchor slides smoothly along the beam on Wear Pads (F). A Lanyard or Self-Retracting Device (SRD) is connected
between the Swiveling Connector Ring on the Sliding Beam Anchor and the appropriate attachment element on the user’s Full
Body Harness.
