Super Anchor Safety
Super Anchor Safety has designed special testing procedures to closely duplicate circumstances that would normally be encountered in the field under normal and adverse conditions. Our products are tested to comply with OSHA, U.S. Dept. of Labor and ANSI Standards, as well as individual state requirements such as California and Washington. All hardware, lanyards and D-Ring components are proof tested to meet such standards, and each product Super Anchor manufactures goes through several visual inspections before it is packaged. Any unused defective product will be replaced at no charge by returning it to our factory or our nearest distributor.
Without question, falls represent one of the most serious hazards that workers are exposed to during the construction process. Falls are also one of the most challenging to guard against. Super Anchor Safety provides solutions that are easy to use and cost effective.
Fall protection is an important part of job site safety and it starts with the Super Anchor Connection. During construction many trades will be exposed to falls: framers and roofers, HVAC and siding installers, plumbers, masons and gutter hangers, to mention a few. By utilizing Super Anchor anchorage systems and personal fall protection equipment, all of these trades can be protected against the industries' number one hazard: falls from elevated work areas.
Super Anchor's ARS series of stainless steel roof anchors are the industry standard in residential construction and are designed as a permanent fixture that provides fall protection during and after the construction process. Attached to the top chord using a single factory supplied bolt, the ARS is available in two sizes that fit all standard wood framing members, 2x4 through 2x12. You can choose from several flashing bases and stem covers to provide a waterproof penetration for all type of roofing materials.
For additional applications, Super Anchor Safety offers a wide range of specialty anchorage devices that easily attach to I-joists, Z-purlins and wall top plates. We also offer moveable, re-usable Retro-Fit (for existing structures), disposable anchors, tie-off straps, framing spacers, top plate mounted guard rails, and custom anchors to fit virtually every application found in residential and commercial construction.
In addition, Super Anchor also manufactures a complete line of personal fall protection equipment under the "Fall Arrestor" trademark, making Super Anchor Safety a single source for fully engineered component-compatible system.

The stainless steel fabricated anchor and durable Santoprene flashing is maintenance free and will last the lifetime of ther roof.

ARS Tile Roof Anchor
High profile concrete and clay roof tiles present a unique challeng to flashing that requires a longer stem length than our ARS 2x8 and 2x12. By adding an extra 1.5" to the stem length, the anchor is easily flashed through the pan or barrel section, leaving the attachment hole accessible.
The standard tile roofing flashing features an E.P.D.M. boot that is vulcanized to a malleable .024 gauge, 20" x 20" aluminum base, providing a means to easily conform to the undulations of S-tiles and high profile concrete tiles. A large dimension lead base measuring 12" x 16" is also available as a top flashing. Both types can be used to meet the specifications of the National Tile Roofing Association for pre-flashing or double jack system. We offer three different stem cover colors; terra cotta, light gray and black, to complement most of the popular roof tile colors.
And there's more. Drawing on Super Anchor's 25 years of tile and slate roofing experience, the ARS Tile Roof instruction manual includes a special 10 page flashing specification guide illustrating several practical ways to solve high and low profile roof tile penetration problems.
