Description
Groxx G-Anchor | GGAP001
The Groxx G-Anchor (GGAP001) is a high-strength structural anchorage solution designed to serve as the critical extremity termination for horizontal and vertical lifeline systems. Engineered with a distinct “G” shaped geometry, this anchor plate provides a unique combination of structural rigidity and dynamic energy management, making it suitable for high-load safety applications across diverse substrates.
Core Performance & Design
-
G-Shaped Shock Absorption: The anchor’s signature “G” profile is not merely aesthetic; it is a functional engineering feature. The curved geometry allows for controlled, elastic deformation under extreme dynamic loads. This “built-in” shock-absorbing characteristic dissipates a portion of the fall arrest energy before it is transmitted to the substrate, protecting both the worker and the building structure.
-
Universal Application: The GGAP001 is a versatile component designed for seamless integration into all major structural environments, including reinforced concrete slabs, steel rigid structures, and specialized roof systems.
-
High-Capacity Multi-User Rating: Unlike standard single-point anchors, the G-Anchor is robustly engineered and certified to support up to 4 simultaneous users, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic industrial maintenance zones.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Manufactured from 316 Stainless Steel with an Electro-Polished finish, the unit offers superior resistance to oxidation and chemical exposure, ensuring a 20+ year service life in marine or aggressive industrial atmospheres.
Technical Specifications
Installation & Substrate Interface
-
Concrete Installations: When mounted to concrete, the G-Anchor must be secured using M16 316SS Threaded Bolts in conjunction with Groxx GRX851 Epoxy Adhesive. This ensures a tension-free molecular bond capable of meeting the anchor’s 45kN MBS.
-
Rigid Steel Structures: The plate can be direct-bolted to structural steel beams (I-beams or channels) using M16 Grade 8.8 or Stainless 316 fasteners, providing a low-profile, high-strength termination point.
-
Lifeline Extremity: The universal hole pattern allows for the direct connection of tensioners, energy absorbers, and 8mm stainless steel cable swages.
Standards & Compliance
The GGAP001 undergoes rigorous dynamic and static testing to comply with the highest global safety standards for permanent anchor devices:
-
EN 795:2012 Type A: Certified as a structural anchor designed to be fixed to a surface.
-
CEN/TS 16415:2013 Type A: Certified for multi-user applications, ensuring the anchor maintains structural integrity when subjected to the cumulative forces of multiple falling masses.
The Groxx Advantage
The G-Anchor GGAP001 eliminates the need for bulky, external shock absorbers in many extremity applications. By utilizing the mechanical properties of its G-shaped 316SS plate, it provides a streamlined, aesthetically pleasing, and technically superior anchorage point that simplifies installation without compromising on safety.
