There are often times when you are required to work at height but a fixed, secure anchor point isn't readily available. Perhaps you are working in a residential property where it would be unprofessional to fix an anchor point to the wall, or perhaps you're working on an isolated, stand-alone structure with no external walls to attach to. Whatever scenario you find yourself in, choosing one of our rope access anchor systems will ensure you can work safely at all times.
Rope access anchor systems are designed to support the weight of a person while they carry out tasks at height. They are usually comprised of incredibly heavy weights that are able to counterbalance the weight of the operator, and a sturdy attachment point that the operator can safely connect to.
Rope anchor access systems are great because they can be adjusted to suit any worker, and they are completely mobile. Simply remove the counterbalancing weights, relocate the anchor point and stack the weights up again for a perfectly safe rope access anchor system in a brand new location!
This deadweight trolley is a portable anchor device that can be used in almost every location. It is particularly useful when working behind handrails, balustrades and parapet walls. Some other benefits of this rope access anchor trolley are:

This rope access anchor system from G-Force is designed to be used when you need to carry out work on vehicles, containers and other stand-alone structures. The whole system from the ground to the anchor point is 6.5 metres high, so workers can work up to 5 metres off the ground while using it.

What is the leading cause of deaths in the workplace? Short Answer: falls from height count for more than a quarter of workplace fatalities in Great Britain, making falls the biggest cause of workplace deaths.
According to the latest statistics from the Health & Safety Executive, approximately 26% of fatal workplace injuries in Great Britain are the result of a fall from height. Between 2013 and 2018, more workers died from a fall than died from:
Falls from height also accounted for around 8% of non-lethal accidents in British workplaces during the same period.
