Above-ground storage tanks require regular inspection, maintenance, and testing, yet their curved surfaces and potential exposure to volatile vapors often make standard fall protection impractical. Safeguard Industries non-penetrating tank anchors provide active fall protection without the risk of structural compromise.
Our “clamp-on” fall arrest and travel restraint systems are engineered specifically for the unique geometry of storage tanks. By mounting directly to the center vent flange or pipe, these anchors eliminate the need for drilling, grinding, or spark-producing activities. The result is a stable, continuous 360° anchorage platform that preserves tank integrity while ensuring worker safety.
Avoid the high costs and hazards of hot work permits. Our anchors secure directly to existing tank vent pipes or flanges using robust clamping mechanisms—no welding or drilling required. This design eliminates spark hazards, making it ideal for refineries and chemical plants where volatile vapors are a constant concern.
Technicians can move uninterrupted around the entire circumference of the tank. Utilizing either a rotating trolley or a dual-loop system, workers remain actively connected from access to descent without ever needing to disconnect and reconnect their safety gear.
Mobility is matched with versatility. Systems are engineered for both travel restraint—keeping workers away from the dangerous tank edge—and fall arrest to stop a fall in progress. This is especially critical on steeply sloped tank roofs where footing is precarious.
Constructed from high-grade (A570/A607) galvanized steel, these anchors are built to survive harsh chemical, marine, and extreme weather environments. Integrated neoprene gaskets protect the tank surface from abrasion while ensuring a secure, non-slip fit.
Continuous 316 stainless steel cable systems providing 100% tie-off for up to three users across large work areas. These engineered solutions allow for seamless movement without disconnection, ensuring active fall arrest or restraint while maintaining OSHA compliance and structural roof integrity.
Individually engineered anchors for localized maintenance tasks, such as accessing manufacturing equipment or storage tank tops. Each unit is load-tested and certified to provide a defined cone of coverage for workers in fixed industrial areas, ensuring OSHA-compliant safety for your dedicated team.
Portable, non-penetrating counterweight anchors ideal for temporary or permanent access on flat and low-sloped roofs. These 56 lb. rubber-bonded bases feature molded suction cups for maximum grip. This safety-first design prevents roof membrane damage while providing reliable, certified fall arrest and restraint.
Integrated fall protection systems featuring vertical lifelines and self-closing gates to secure fixed ladder access points. These engineered solutions eliminate the hazards of outdated cages, meeting updated OSHA 1910 standards to ensure worker safety during the transition from the climb to the rooftop.
