Discover specialist portable anchor points

When it comes to the most important components, we can mention mobile cantilever anchor points, window trolleys, column anchor points, portable aluminium davits and mobile modular safety rails. Each of these products is suitable for different conditions. A column anchor point comes in handy mainly on roofs where it can be attached to steel or reinforced concrete columns or to skylights. It can be used by three people at a time and has a strap up to 50 meters long, which is equipped with a stretching mechanism. A portable aluminium davit is another noteworthy portable anchor point that can be additionally disassembled into three parts for transport. This device is designed for one person who can move in the space limited by their legs. 

Keep your employees safe and mobile

A mobile modular safety rail is ideal when working with shafts, manholes, sewage pits and open skylights. When supplemented with additional equipment, it can be used to evacuate employees. A portable steel davit can be applied for similar purposes. Our window trolleys, on the other hand, are ideal for various window openings and protect workers against falls. All mobile anchor points offered by Protekt meet the required standards and have been thoroughly tested by our team. Our items are subject to thorough checks, therefore, we can guarantee their safety and top notch quality. Check out the attractive offer prepared by Protekt and choose our arborist equipment, safety tripods, rescue devices, permanent anchor systems and personal protective equipment.

When to Use Portable vs. Permanent Anchor Points

In the hierarchy of fall protection, the anchor point is the foundation. Portable anchorage points are the ideal solution for temporary tasks where installing a permanent fixture is structurally impossible or cost-prohibitive. They allow workers to create a compliant tie-off point on beams, door frames, or columns without drilling or welding. This flexibility is vital for maintenance crews, window washers, and construction teams moving between different zones of a site.

Types of Portable Anchors

Understanding the different mechanisms is key to safety.

• Beam Anchors: These clamp onto I-beams and often feature rollers, allowing the anchor to slide along the beam as the worker moves. This provides continuous protection without the need to disconnect and reconnect constantly.
• Door/Window Bars: These extend to fit inside a door or window frame, creating a secure point for interior work or facade access.
• Deadweight Anchors: For flat roofs with no structural protrusions, these rely on friction and mass to hold the fall.
  Regardless of type, every portable anchor must be rated to withstand the dynamic forces of a fall, typically a minimum of 12 kN for a single user.

Proper Setup and Inspection

Using a portable anchor requires competency. The user must verify that the structure itself (the beam, column, or frame) can support the load before attaching the device. A strong anchor on a weak structure is a recipe for disaster. Before every use, check the device for deformation, corrosion, or missing components. These devices are the starting point of your safety chain and must be connected to compatible fall-protection kits or retractable-type fall arresters to ensure full compliance and safety.
