The ecoAnchor is a totally unique concept in fall protection and uses renewable resources for both manufacture and installation. Due to the massive weight saving during transportation it can also reduce the carbon footprint. The anchor is constructed of a special natural rubber material that holds the bag in a solid cube form when filled with water. Its design also allows for a low 50 lbs psi footprint. When collapsed, the ecoAnchor weighs just 17.6lbs, fitting in a small bag, and avoiding the need to transport, or carry, heavy weights to the top of a building prior to installation.
The ecoAnchor is compatible with a large variety of roof surfaces including composite and mineral felts. It has been tested to exceed the EN795 class E standard and is suitable for use on a pitched roof of up to 15 degrees. It is also compatible for use with the Ultra-Safe 96964-80 temporary life line systems.This will allow spans of up to 80 feet by linking two ecoAnchors together to create a 2 person system simply and quickly.
