Q: Can this anchor be used for bolt-on installation instead of welding?
A: Yes — though optimized for weld-on use, the plate includes ½″ bolt holes for fixed-position bolting where welding is not possible.
Q: What types of structural members are suitable for this anchor?
A: The anchor is designed for installation on steel I-beams, columns or other steel structural members that can support the required static strength.
Q: How should I verify suitability of the structural mounting surface?
A: Ensure the steel member is free of damage, corrosion or modification, is large enough for full plate weld-or-bolt contact, and that any welding or bolting follows structural and fabrication standards.
Q: What maintenance or inspection should be performed?
A: At each use inspect the welds or bolts for integrity, check the plate and D-ring for distortion or corrosion, verify the D-ring moves freely and retains its rated strength, and remove the unit from service if any condition is compromised.
