DESCRIPTION: The Saflok
®
Toggle Anchor (Figure 1) is a reusable anchor point for horizontal, vertical, or overhead
applications. The Toggle Anchor is designed for use in a steel flange or plate. After insertion through a 19.05 mm (3/4
in.) or 20 mm mounting hole, the Toggle rotates perpendicular to the mounting hole to secure the Toggle Anchor.
Squeezing the Swivel Ring and Hole Plug together compresses the Spring and rotates the Toggle for immediate removal
from the mounting hole.
PURPOSE: The Saflok

PFASs are used where free fall is possible before the fall is arrested and typically include: a Self Retracting Lifeline
(EN 360) or Energy Absorbing Lanyard (EN 355); connector (EN 362) to attach to the anchor; and a Full Body
Harness (EN 361).

NOTE:
For emergency rescues it may be acceptable to connect more than one system if the anchorage will
support the anticipated loads.
• Maximum Arresting Force:
PFAS used with this equipment must meet applicable EU CE requirements. The
PFAS must be capable of arresting the user’s fall with a maximum arresting force of 6 kN.
