Swaged Tensioner
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
