Palmer Safety Sliding Beamer Anchor — Reusable I-Beam Fall Arrest Anchor for Maximum Mobility
The Palmer Safety Sliding Beamer (SKU: PS-A3145002) is a premium, removable and reusable sliding I-beam anchor engineered for fall arrest applications on structural steel. Designed for contractors and trades professionals working at height, it glides smoothly along the beam flange while trailing the worker overhead or at foot level, maintaining continuous tie-off without requiring repeated repositioning. Built from steel and rated for a single user up to 310 lbs., it meets or exceeds ANSI Z359.18, ANSI Z359.7, OSHA 1910.66, and OSHA 1926.502. Its quick-install, easy-remove design makes it a practical choice for structural steel erection, bridge work, commercial construction, and industrial maintenance.

Applications
Structural steel erection, commercial construction, bridge work, industrial maintenance, warehouse operations, and any application requiring a secure trailing fall arrest tie-off point on an I-beam

Unlike fixed beam anchors that require removal and reinstallation as a worker moves along a beam, the Sliding Beamer trails the worker continuously, eliminating the need to detach and reattach the anchor during travel. Its wide flange compatibility range — 3.54" to 14" width and 0.25" to 1.25" thickness — allows a single anchor to serve across a broad variety of structural steel profiles encountered on commercial and industrial job sites.

Key Features & Benefits
Sliding Mobility Along the Beam
The anchor is engineered to glide smoothly along the I-beam flange while trailing the worker overhead or at foot level. This continuous trailing capability keeps the worker tied off at all times without requiring repeated anchor repositioning, reducing exposure to unprotected edges during transitions.
Wide Beam Flange Compatibility
Accommodates beam flange widths from 3.54" to 14" and flange thicknesses from 0.25" to 1.25", covering a broad range of standard structural steel sections. Contractors can use a single anchor across multiple beam sizes on the same project rather than carrying multiple anchor types.
Robust D-Ring Hardware
The integrated D-ring provides a secure, reliable attachment point for lanyards or self-retracting lifelines (SRLs). A solid connection point is critical in fall arrest applications where hardware integrity directly affects worker safety.
Quick Install and Easy Removal
Designed to be quick to install, easy to place, and effortless to remove, the Sliding Beamer minimizes setup time on the beam. Faster installation and removal translate directly to reduced non-productive time on structural steel and elevated work platforms.
Removable and Reusable
The anchor is fully removable and reusable, making it a cost-effective long-term investment compared to single-use or permanently installed anchors. It can be transferred between job sites and beam locations as work progresses.
Regulatory Compliance
Meets or exceeds ANSI Z359.18, ANSI Z359.7, OSHA 1910.66, and OSHA 1926.502, and conforms to ANSI Z359.1-2007. Compliance with these standards supports site safety programs and helps contractors meet OSHA fall protection requirements for general industry and construction.
Common Applications
Structural Steel Erection
Provides a trailing fall arrest anchor point for ironworkers and steel erectors moving along I-beams during structural framing, allowing continuous protection without repeated anchor changes.
Commercial Construction
Suitable for elevated steel work on commercial building projects where workers must travel along beam runs and require a compliant, mobile tie-off solution.
Bridge Work
Supports fall protection requirements on bridge steel where workers traverse long beam spans and need an anchor that moves with them rather than requiring fixed-point repositioning.
Industrial Maintenance
Used in industrial facilities for maintenance tasks performed on overhead structural steel, where a removable and reusable anchor is preferred over permanent installations.
Warehouse Operations
Applicable in warehouse environments where work is performed on overhead steel framing or mezzanine structures requiring temporary, relocatable fall arrest anchor points.
