Multi-component anchor: building your system piece by piece

A multi-component anchor combines a structure (davit, tripod, gantry), a means of fixing (base, floor or wall mount, tow hitch mount, parapet clamp), a device (winch or self-retracting lifeline) and the bracket that connects them. This modular anchor system lets you adapt the same equipment to several sites, and complete an existing installation rather than buying a new one. KRATOS SAFETY offers the MultiSafeWay davit, tripods, winches and all the adaptation components, for 1 or 2 users.

Building your system

  • The structure: a tripod for a clear opening, a davit when the anchor point needs to be offset, a gantry for large openings.
  • The fixing: a concrete floor or wall mount for a recurring workstation, a tow hitch mount to fit the davit to a vehicle, a clamp to fix it to a parapet.
  • The device: a work and rescue winch, or a self-retracting lifeline with retrieval system.
  • The adapter bracket: it fixes the device to the structure; each adapter kit is designed for a specific SRL model, stated in its name.
  • The accessories: wheels to move the tripod, a step to reach the head, a slide to make access and evacuation easier.

Compatibility is checked component by component: the user instructions for the structure list the authorised devices and brackets, and an assembly not provided for by the manufacturer is not certified.

Standards and regulations

  • EN 795 type B for temporary anchor structures,
  • EN 1496 for winches and rescue lifting devices,
  • EN 360 for self-retracting lifelines mounted on the structure,
  • CEN/TS 16415 for structures designed for two users.

Each component falls under Regulation (EU) 2016/425; the user instructions, technical data sheets and compliance documents are in the Documents tab of each product page.

Maintenance and inspection

  • At each assembly: check how each component is assembled, the locking of the brackets and the stability of the structure.
  • Periodic examination of each component at least once a year by a competent person, as required by national regulations.
  • After an arrested fall or a real rescue: withdraw the whole assembly from service until inspected.
