The Stronghold Mobile Anchor Point and Barrier System helps reduce the time spent searching for a “bomb proof” anchor point at rope rescue incidents.
The aim of the Stronghold is to provide an instant safe and secure dedicated anchor point and to maximize safety for crews and other emergency service personnel and the public when working at height during rope rescue from a window, lift, or other vertical opening.
From the housed carry position to full setup in less than five minutes the Stronghold instantly provides a highly visible barrier around the opening, preventing necessary crews in the vicinity from getting close enough to the opening to fall.
The Stronghold is free standing and does not require any fixing to the walls or floor. Unlike fitting anchor bolts, there is no drilling, curing time, or pull tests are required, saving valuable time at an incident.
Two horizontal life lines are connected to the Stronghold in seconds, providing the harness attachment point for two crew members, protecting them both in either a fall restraint, fall arrest, or work positioning mode. The Stronghold also has separate anchor points to attach tools or other equipment to via load straps and lanyards.
Storing, transporting and setting up the Stronghold is simple and can be done by a single crew member in less than five minutes. The two side units are unfolded and positioned against the walls around the opening, the two horizontal connectors are clamped into position and the life line is connected—no tools are required.
