Anchorage points
Anchorage points
Anchorage points are basic components of the so-called permanent anchorage systems. Their primary purpose is to secure workers, allowing them to comfortably attach themselves to the selected anchorage point with a rope. These critical components not only protect employees from falls but also minimise the risk of injury in the event of an accident.

Properly designed anchorage points and other elements of the permanent anchorage system can be mounted on various surfaces and levels, making them ideal for work at heights on structures such as masts, chimneys, towers, and roofs.
Anchorage Points Offered by Protekt
Protekt, a quality fall protection kit manufacturer, provides a diverse array of anchorage points that cater to various applications and surface types, as well as the materials used. The manufacturer offers solutions such as:
- Anchorage systems for trapezoidal metal sheets of different profiles (steel and/or aluminium).
- Anchorage points fixed directly in concrete, ensuring robust stability.
- Anchorage points for fixed structures, distinguished by their static strength or the shape of the surface to which they are attached.
- Anchorage points specifically designed for personal equipment to enhance safety during use.
Most anchorage points come with mounting kits to facilitate easy installation.
Durable, Quality Anchorage Points
The anchorage points offered by Protekt are characterised by top-notch quality and durability, achieved through the use of premium materials, including stainless steel (AISI 304) and cast steel. Stainless steel anchor points are a particularly popular choice due to their durability and excellent corrosion resistance, making them suitable for use in most applications, including both steel and concrete structures.
This makes stainless steel anchor points a cost-effective solution for providing maximum safety over the long term. Importantly, the materials used take into account the number of workers who will be using a specific anchorage point. Some systems boast a strength of 30 kN and comply with EN 795 standards, making them suitable for up to three users while guaranteeing maximum safety.
Choosing the Right Anchorage Point
When selecting an anchorage point, it is crucial to consider the specific application, industry, and requirements. Factors such as the type of structure, the number of workers, and the associated level of risk should be assessed. Consulting with a qualified professional can ensure that the correct anchorage point is selected to meet safety standards and operational needs.
Effective Use of Anchorage Points
To ensure maximum safety, anchorage points must be used correctly. Workers should receive comprehensive training on the proper use of anchorage points and associated fall protection equipment to minimise risks during operations.
Regular inspections and maintenance are essential to ensure that each anchorage point remains secure and functional over time. Routine assessments can identify any potential issues or defects, allowing for prompt remediation.
Installation and Maintenance
Correct installation of anchorage points is vital for maximising safety during use. Regular maintenance is equally important to ensure that each anchorage point remains secure and functional over time. Routine inspections should be conducted to identify any potential issues or defects that may arise.
Specialised Anchorage Points
Some anchorage points are designed for specific applications, such as door frames or gutter cleaning. These specialised anchorage points provide secure attachment options for workers in unique situations. Examples of such products include the Söll-WAP – Wall Anchorage Point and the Söll-RAP – Removable Anchorage Point, both designed to offer enhanced safety and convenience.
By prioritising quality and safety, Protekt ensures that workers can perform their tasks at heights with confidence, knowing they are supported by reliable anchorage points designed for various environments and applications.
