A Self-Contained Portable Anchor Device for rope access workers.

for the Use of Rope Access Methods for Industrial Purposes" (see
attached sheet)
- A mobile fall protection unit for abseiling

Accessanka is designed as an accessory to Weightanka to provide
the following additional benefits:
The Weightanka/Accessanka combination, when correctly installed,
provides an ‘internally force-balanced’ system, which
does not require anchoring to the roof or other structure. It is
extremely stable and will not migrate across the roof surface, either
in normal use, or when arresting the fall of both worker and rescuer.
Provides full fall arrest protection, before approaching edge,
during assembly.
The Weightanka/Accessanka combination is intended for single person
use, but in case of rescue, has been tested for two persons plus
equipment up to a working load limit of 200kg.
Access lines are held away from the side of the building, greatly
reducing the risk of abrasion.
An anchor point for rope access and safety lines that can be moved
along the roof surface as required, removing the need for multiple
attachment points.
The supplied parapet assembly (tripod legs) enable easy access
and egress over parapet edges.
Accessanka has been designed for easy transportation and installation,
being of modular construction, with no part over 25kg or 2 metres.
Aluminium, galvanised or rubber coated parts requiring a minimum
of simple maintenance.
The Weightanka/Accessanka is manufactured in a factory conforming
to BS EN ISO 9002, and CE marked to the PPE Directive.
Warning! Do not use this equipment for any other purpose than that
for which it is intended. If you are in any doubt, please contact
the supplier or manufacturer.
Warning! All users must be fully conversant with the instructions
for use supplied with this device, and trained to relevant rope
access guidelines.
