The D-ShakL2™ anchor can be mounted onto various surfaces and used in numerous ways – it is truly a universal anchor point. It is a 360-degree use anchor. Unlike other anchors, our forged D-ring is captured on the shackle with a spot-welded plate. This keeps the D-ring united with the anchor at all times, especially during installation in tough situations.

The anchor is only 4.5” x 2.0” and can be mounted on the exterior or interior of structures. It can be installed onto wood framing, concrete and metal structures for a permanent or temporary application. It is rated for 5,000 pounds and installs with ½” hardware (bolts/all-thread/concrete wedge anchors/poured in place concrete anchors/epoxy/field weld). The anchor can also be used in a horizontal lifeline application for up to 3 workers in fall restrain using our pre-made 3/8” cable lifelines.

The D-ShakL2™ is not designed as a roof mounted anchor point as there is no way to waterproof it. Exterior wood framed walls can be flashed, and concrete/masonry walls require caulking on the edges. Fasteners are supplied by customer. A separate anchor can be used as a backer plate or the installer can use washers to secure the backside of the anchor point. Backer plates are also available.
