Why Are Standing Seam Roofs Different?  

Standing seam roofs are designed to resist water and wind damage better than traditional flat roofs. They also provide extra insulation against extreme temperatures. But because of their unique design, they require a different type of standing seam roof anchor for every kind of standing seam roof.

The SSRA1 standing seam roof anchor from Fall Protection Distributors is a one size fits all model that can be used on any roof. This makes it a unique design in the roofing industry. It is made of durable stainless steel components that can withstand the elements and provides a secure hold for working on metal standing seam roofs. The standing seam anchor also only needs to be installed once every five years.

What Makes the SSRA1 Standing Seam Roof Anchor Model Unique?  

The SSRA1 was just subjected to Ultimate Failure testing at an ISO 17025/ANSI Z359.18 certified materials testing lab, which passed with flying colors. Our expectations were exceeded, as was that of our competition. The OSHA and ANSI maximum load capacity is 5,000 pounds, but the SSRA1 was tested at 14,500 pounds of force.When the Grade 8 top bolts sheared, the aluminum anchor body was completely unharmed or bent; thus, the experiment was completed. The unique structural design of the anchor body accounts for this spectacular strength. This places the SSRA1 in a category by itself!

This life-saving gadget has a unique, non-penetrating design that is unlike anything else on the market. A solid 6061-T6 aluminum body with 12 stainless steel set screws is included in the standard setup. For single-person attachment, a 5,000 lbs certified D-ring is also included in the standard assembly. It arrives pre assembled as a single seam, single-user anchor, and ready to use. This compression-type anchor with bolts that squeeze the seam between the metal plates is far superior to set screws and weaker compression designs because it doesn’t allow the device to move when subjected to forces as weaker compression designs do. It also doesn’t damage the roof panels as set screws do.

What Are The Advantages Of The SSRA1 Standing Seam Roof Anchor?  

The SSRA1 Standing Seam Roof Anchor has many advantages over other roof anchors.

At just 4.5lbs, the SSRA1 standing seam roof anchor is the world’s lightest OSHA 5,000 certified anchor. This makes it perfect for anyone looking for a quick and easy installation with minimal tools required. Whether you need a temporary or permanent attachment solution, this product has you covered.

The universal fit design works on more than 500 Standing Seam Panel Profiles – and there’s no reassembly required! It fits t-seams, bulb seams, SnapLok, single lok, double lok MR-24, and more. In fact, no other anchor fits as many profiles.

The ANSI ASTM B-117 Salt Spray test ensures that our non-corrosive aluminum and stainless steel components won’t corrode. For a permanent installation, we can powder-coat your standing seam roof anchor to match the color of your roof.

This product is also backed with a Lifetime Life-Saving Warranty because it is made in the USA.

The sleek, low-profile design of this anchor when attaching to the seam prevents trip hazards and is less noticeable on permanent attachments.

This roof anchor has been safety tested to endure up to 5,000 lbs of pulling force from every direction. Additionally, workers can access both sides of the roof without having to reposition the anchor. If you’d like further reassurance, you can review the test report on the Fall Protection Distributors Test Report Page.

The only certified component system for attaching pretty much anything to a standing seam roof. The customizable mount enables you to attach equipment from various fall protection manufacturers. Attachment of roof jacks, walk boards, SRLs, horizontal lifelines, ladder anchoring, and other items is possible using this product. The catch, you will need a torque wrench with a downrange reading up to in/lbs and a 3/16″ hex bit socket for proper installation.

What’s Included When You Buy A SSRA1 Standing Seam Roof Anchor?  

When buying an SSRA1 anchor, you can expect the following:

-6061-T6 Aluminum Body for a universal fit design

-5,000 lbs certified D-Ring

-12 cupped tipped screws that are 3/16″ hex/Allen bit compatible
