Alpha Anchor – The Innovative Fall Protection System for Ceiling Formworks
The Alpha Anchor fall protection system provides the solution for this requirement.
The mobile anchorage devices of the Alpha Anchor series enable safe working at fall edges, can be flexibly adapted to the specific situation, and are usable from a height of 2 meters. Depending on the model, they are approved for one or two users. All Alpha Anchor systems are easy to handle, which results in low training requirements for new users. The systems can be moved using a manual pallet truck or by crane with appropriate lifting equipment. The modular design also simplifies transportation and storage. Additionally, during the annual mandatory inspection, Alpha Anchor impresses with low costs since all components – except for the connection elements – can be inspected visually.

"It's easy to move with the crane, and the size of the individual parts is easy to handle in logistics."
"The maintenance costs are very low, and the maintenance is simple."
"The system is self-explanatory and easy to assemble."
"The system can be used individually, according to needs and conditions, and there's no need to purchase a second or additional system."
"Individual fall protection devices can be used, and you are not dependent on a specific manufacturer."
"We are very pleased that certain individual parts can be reordered and assembled ourselves."
"The big advantage of the system with two arms is that two people can be secured at the same time."
"The acquisition cost per person for the 2-person system is the most cost-effective compared to similar systems on the market."
