    SkyReach Anchor Safety instructions Safety instructions The SkyReach Anchor is intended for the purpose stated in this user instruction only, any other use is not allowed. The SkyReach Anchor is a personal fall protection anchor device, used to protect workers operating at height. If used incorrectly there is a potential risk of accidents to both the user and other people in the vicinity.
  • Page 6 Safety instructions SkyReach Anchor • When using a retractable fall arrest block, the certification of this product is only valid when the prescribed block is used, hence it is tested and approved in combination with the SkyReach Anchor. • PFPE that is used together with the SkyReach Anchor must be CE-certified and approved in the specific country of use.

  • Page 14: Attachments

    Technical data SkyReach Anchor Attachments The SkyReach Anchor has been tested and approved to be used together with the following described attachments. Please remember that the SkyReach Anchor CE-certification is valid only when used with these attachments. Cast-in Sleeve (Art. 8200) The Cast-in Sleeve is a metal socket that shall be cast directly into the concrete on-site to house the SkyReach Anchor, see Figure 9.
  • Page 15 Technical data SkyReach Anchor Steel Flange Clamp Kit MkII - NEW (Art. 8501) This Steel Flange Clamp MkII - 8501 is new substitute for old clamp 8500. Clamp is designed to be placed onto pillars with flange width between 12 and 45 cm, see Figure 11. For the use of each SkyReach Anchor, two pieces of the Steel Flange Clamp MkII and one piece of the Steel Flange Clamp Cup is needed.
  • Page 16 SkyReach Anchor Technical data Loading System MkII (Art. 8800) The SkyReach Anchor can be used together with the COMBISAFE Loading System MkII for the safe loading and unloading of e.g. flatbed lorries, see Figure 12. This combination is certified according to EN 795:2012 Type E. Please see UI Loading System MkII, provided by Combisafe.
  • Page 17: Optional Items

    Technical data SkyReach Anchor Optional items The following items are not delivered as standard together with the SkyReach Anchor but can be ordered separately if required. Levelling Element (Art. 83416) The levelling element is a steel tube with a level on the top, see Figure 13.
  • Page 18 SkyReach Anchor Technical data Latex Cone (Art. 100608) The Latex Cone is a weather protective gasket which is placed onto the mast of the SkyReach Anchor, see Figure 15. The purpose is to prevent water and dirt getting into the Cast-In Sleeve when the SkyReach Anchor is in place in the sleeve, and therefore preventing the SkyReach Anchor from becoming frozen in the sleeve.
  • Page 19: Attachment Installation

    Attachment installation SkyReach Anchor Attachment installation Cast-In Sleeve installation 1. After pouring concrete into the column mold, place a Cast-In Sleeve in the upper side of the column while the concrete is still wet. The Sleeve has to be protruding 30-80 mm above the top surface of the column.
  • Page 20 SkyReach Anchor Attachment installation Figure 17. Levelling the Cast-in Sleeve body. NOTE During concrete hardening, uplift of the Cast-in Sleeve may occur. To prevent this, the tube should be encumbered or alternatively may be wired to rebars to keep the protruding tolerance.
  • Page 21 Attachment installation SkyReach Anchor As an example; if the maximum aggregate size is 16 mm, a Ø20 mm vertical bar and a Ø12 mm horizontal bar are used in a column. The minimum size to closest bar must then be 21 mm, hence the determined value is d = 16+5=21 mm.
  • Page 22 SkyReach Anchor Attachment installation Load on structure The structure upon which the the SkyReach Anchor is mounted, must be capable of carrying the imposed loads. The maximum forces transmitted to the structure during service are shown in Figure 19. Figure 19. Maximum loads transmitted to the structure...

    Attachment installation SkyReach Anchor Steel Flange Clamp installation The Steel Flange Clamp installation is shown in Figure 20. 1. Loosen the adjustment nut and increase the gap of the jaws enough to place the clamp over the beam flange. 2. Make sure the centre-to-centre distance between the upper clamp and the lower clamp is 700 mm, and that the clamps are perpendicular to the column.
  • Page 24 SkyReach Anchor Attachment installation 5. Install the cup into the lower Steel Column Clamp. There is a pin located on the side of the cup, which has to pass into the grooves on each lug on the clamp. The grooves in the lugs are not aligned so the cup must be turned to pass through both lugs.

  • Page 26 SkyReach Anchor Attachment installation 5. Install the cup into the lower Steel Flange Clamp MkII on the column. Once Cup is inserted into lower Steel Flange Clamp MkII, Insert Quick Release Pin into Cup locking hole and secure it. See Figure 23 for a detailed view. Figure 23.
  • Page 27 Attachment installation SkyReach Anchor Load on structure The structure upon which the SkyReach Fall Arrest System is mounted must be capable of carrying the imposed loads. The maximum forces transmitted to the structure are shown in Figure 24. Figure 24. Maximum loads transmitted to the structure. NOTE It is important to take into consideration the column quality and stability under load.
  • Page 28: Assembly

    SkyReach Anchor Assembly Assembly In this document two different methods to assemble and install the SkyReach Anchor will be described. Either just by hand, or with the help of a crane. The outcome of your risk analysis, depending on the site, will decide what method to use. Installation by hand Due to the lightweight design of the SkyReach Anchor it can easily be moved and installed by one person only.
  • Page 29 Assembly SkyReach Anchor NOTE Make sure that the SkyReach Anchor is inserted the correct length by observing the Insertion Marking Label. The upper edge of the sleeve must be aligned with the lower edge of the label, see Figure 26 for a closer illustration of the label. Figure 26.
  • Page 30 SkyReach Anchor Assembly 3. Proceed either by; (1) fully assemble the SkyReach Anchor by placing the brace hook into lower lugs at the mast according to Figure 28, secure the brace with the Lock Pin according to the figure. Then connect the fall arrest block to the anchor point and make sure it is correctly secured.
