Red Wing, MN - DBI-SALA, a Capital Safety brand, introduces Quick-Release Reusable Concrete Anchor, which can be reused again and again, thus lowering operating costs and increasing productivity. The anchor is designed to be inserted into a pre-drilled hole in concrete. It provides a safe fall arrest rated 5,000-pound anchor point for a personal fall arrest system, work positioning system, rescue system or horizontal lifeline system.

Installation takes just seconds and removal is made easier by incorporating unique features. Exclusive quick-release button boosts productivity by providing immediate anchor removal for added worker satisfaction. Reusable Concrete Anchor can be removed and reinstalled in a new location for added jobsite flexibility and lower overall cost of ownership. It virtually eliminates the need for tools to remove a stuck anchor from the hole.

"Ease of use is one of the elements we strive for in product development," states Tim Maroushek, product marketing manager for systems and anchors with Capital Safety. "With the Reusable Concrete Anchor we achieved this objective. We came up with a number of features that contribute to tool-free, immediate removal where other anchors bring work to a standstill."

For added safety, a forged connection ring provides a compatible tie-off point for a personal arrest system. The anchor also incorporates features that offer a longer service life. An exclusive pivoting easy-grip handle provides cable kink protection. The load cable and chock release cables are shielded from damage caused by grinding against the concrete lip of the hole. The Reusable Concrete Anchor is constructed of stainless steel, aluminum and other non-corrosive materials.

The Reusable Concrete Anchor is designed for use in cured concrete with compression strength of at least 3,000 psi. The anchor meets or exceeds all applicable standards including OSHA 1926.502, ANSI Z359.1-2007 and A10.32-2004.
