How to choose

An anchor device gives a harness user a secure point to connect to. Karam lists most of these products to EN 795:2012, the European standard for anchor devices, and many also to IS 3521(Part 7):2021, AS/NZS 5532:2013 or ANSI Z359.18. The EN 795 type tells you how the anchor works: Type A anchors, such as point anchors, flange anchors and roof posts, are fixed to the structure with bolts, rivets or adhesive; Type B anchors, such as beam clamps, beam trolleys, parapet, door and container anchors, straps and wire rope slings, are portable and need no fixing to the structure; Type C covers flexible horizontal lifelines and Type D rigid horizontal rails.

Next, check strength and the number of users. Karam gives a minimum breaking strength in kN (kilonewtons, a unit of force) for each anchor: 23 kN on the point anchors, beam anchors, trolleys, parapet anchors and wire rope slings, 15 kN on the edge anchor, container post, door anchor and most roof posts, 12 kN on the concrete, chemical and small flange anchors, and 18 kN for 3 minutes on the webbing straps. Where more than one person will use the same anchor or line, look for TS 16415:2013, the European specification for anchor devices used by several people at once: Karam lists the SA10 and SA10A for up to 4 users, the SA09 for up to 3, the PN802 door anchor for up to 2, and its Horizon lines for 2, 4 or up to 6 users.

For short jobs, a temporary horizontal lifeline is rigged between two strong points and packed away afterwards: the Horizon PN3000(BC) webbing line for 2 users up to 20m, the Horizon kernmantle rope lines for 2 or 4 users, and the PN4001N Handy Line with a retractable line in a compact housing. For climbing on a rope, Karam's guided type fall arresters (rope grabs) to EN 353-2:2002 travel with the user on a flexible anchorage line and lock onto it if the user falls. Permanent sites use fixed systems: Vertex vertical lines on a rigid cable or aluminium rail to EN 353-1:2014+A1:2017 for ladders, towers and chimneys, and Horizon PN4000 cable and PN5000 rail lines for roofs, cranes and gantries.

Roof lifelines need posts and fixings that match the roof sheet. Karam makes extremity, intermediate and corner posts for trapezoidal and standing seam roofs, some with constant force energy absorbers that deploy in a fall to protect the roof sheet, plus Klip Lok clamps, brackets, FRP walkways to EN 516:2006 Class 1 and aluminium steps. Note the sheet pitch, seam spacing or seam bulb size before you ask for posts.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between EN 795 Type A, B, C and D anchors?
Type A anchors are fixed to the structure with bolts, rivets or adhesive, Type B anchors are portable and need no fixing to the structure, Type C anchors are flexible horizontal lifelines and Type D anchors are rigid horizontal rails. Karam states the type in each product's certification.
What does TS 16415:2013 mean on a Karam anchor?
TS 16415:2013 is the European technical specification for anchor devices used by more than one person at the same time. Karam gives the user count with it, for example up to 4 users on the SA10 steel point anchor and on the Horizon PN4000 lifeline.
What is a guided type fall arrester?
It is a rope grab that travels along an anchorage line with the user and locks onto the line if the user falls. Karam's PN2000 to PN2010 rope grabs run on a flexible line to EN 353-2:2002, while the Vertex systems use a rigid cable or rail to EN 353-1:2014+A1:2017.
Which Karam lifelines and anchors are listed for explosive atmospheres?
Karam lists ATEX 2014/34/EU, the EU directive for equipment used in explosive atmospheres, on the Horizon PN4000 and PN5000 lines, the Vertex PN6000, PN7000, PN8000 and PN9000 lines, the PN4001N Handy Line, the SA08, SA13, SA15 and SA16 anchors and the PN813 wire rope sling.
Can a roof lifeline post damage the roof sheet in a fall?
Karam's constant force energy absorber posts for trapezoidal and standing seam roofs are made to deploy in a fall and absorb the energy, which Karam says leaves the roof panel intact.
Does FPS supply Karam anchorages and lifelines in Bhopal?
Yes. FPS is a Karam supplier and supplies Karam anchors, temporary lifelines, rope grabs and fixed line system components in Bhopal and across Madhya Pradesh. Prices are on request: call or WhatsApp +91 92440 89060.
