Galvanized steel cable anchor sling, PVC coated, 2 swaged eyes, Peakworks

Galvanized steel cable anchor sling, PVC coated, two swaged eyes

The Peakworks anchor sling is a flexible anchorage connector designed for the fall protection of workers at height. Made from ¼ in (6 mm) galvanized steel cable, 7 x 19 construction, PVC coated, it resists abrasion, corrosion and weather. Its two swaged eyes let you wrap it around a solid structure (beam, pillar, tree) to create a reliable temporary anchorage point. Peakworks manufacturer codes: V8208004, model AS-210004 (4 ft). Sold individually.

It is designed to withstand static forces of 5000 lb (22 kN), in compliance with the CSA Z259.12 and ANSI Z359.1-2007 standards. The manufacturer's maximum recommended load is 310 lb (140 kg), including the worker, clothing and tools. It is available in 4 ft (1.22 m) or 6 ft (1.83 m) — choose the size from the drop-down menu above.

Advantages of the galvanized cable anchor sling

Rugged and versatile, this sling creates a temporary anchorage point on almost any solid structure, while resisting outdoor environments thanks to its PVC-coated galvanized steel cable.

Job sites and industries where this sling is required

• Work at height requiring a temporary anchorage point
• Construction, framing and general industry
• Anchoring around a beam, pillar or load-bearing structure
• Any job site requiring a flexible 5000 lb anchor

Installation and anchorage point

Choose a reliable structure able to support at least 5000 lb (beam, pillar, sturdy tree). Wrap the cable around the structure, then pass one end through the other to form a choker and create a solid anchorage point. Then connect your lanyard, harness or fall arrest device with an approved connector. As with any fall protection anchorage point, assess the fall distance, the free clearance below the worker, the rescue measures and the anchor strength (5000 lb). Never install the sling on an unstable structure or one unable to support the required load.

Inspection and maintenance of the sling

The worker is responsible for a routine inspection before each use: look for any sign of corrosion, frayed wires, deformation, cut or wear on the cable and at the ends. Remove the sling from service at the first sign of failure. It must also be inspected periodically by a qualified person other than the worker; the more demanding the conditions, the more frequent the inspection. The slings carry certification labels. Sylprotec offers a fall protection equipment inspection service; see the Services tab.
