Roof Anchors
UNIPLATE ANCHOR – UNI-01
The uniplate anchor has been designed to fit most metal roof profiles. The uniplate can be fitted with either a fixed eyelet or an energy absorbing swivel eyelet. The swivel eyelet allows the attachment rope to follow you, allowing complete directional force. The eyelet is secured using a separate locking (Nylok) nut.
MINI SURFACE MOUNT – SPANDEK 112MM – MSMS-01
Overview
Specially designed for situations where you can’t access the inside of the roof, this unit is secure because it dissipates the force of a fall over a wide region and still meets all Australian standards.
Benefits
The major components are stainless steel, so they’ll last even in the toughest conditions
Can be used in applications where roof access isn’t possible
Low profile – minimal visual impact for architecture aesthetics
Application
This anchor is best suited to Spandek type roofs of 112mm. It’s not suitable for Kliplok or corrugated roofs.
Specifications
The eye is 316 grade S/S
Waterproofing is achieved by composite flashing and/or Sikaflex construction sealant
Fall arrest anchor for a single operator (12kn) in accordance with Australian Standards 1891 1-4 2009
Anchor can be used for two operators (22kn) depending on the underlying structure’s dimensions and ability to take the extra imposed load; seek engineering and/or certified independent advice for this rating (22kn)
Testing has been performed by NATA test teams and product developed in conjunction with structural engineers.
MINI SURFACE MOUNT – SPANDEK 128MM – MSMS-02
The eyelet is secured using a separate locking (Nylok) nut. This separation of the fixing mechanism prevents metal fatigue when over tightened or twisted under load and allows the eyelet to rotate under pressure.
Overview
Specially designed for situations where you can’t access the inside of the roof, the unit is secure because it dissipates the force of a fall over a wide region and still meets all Australian standards.

"I operate a sign company and required some roof anchors to be installed so we could safely install a sign. Anchor Point Safety assisted us with this process, they were professional and safety conscious in their installation processes and we were able to complete our project safely. I would happily recommend Anchor Point Safety for anyone in the market for harness and access systems."
