Yes. The Frontline RO2W is a non-penetrating standing seam roof anchor — it clamps onto the roof's standing seam and bolts itself back together without piercing, screwing into, or damaging the roof surface, so it preserves the roof's watertight integrity and finish. It installs quickly with minimal tools, is lightweight and portable between tie-off points, and is fully reusable. It provides a single-worker anchorage point rated to a 5,000 lbs (22 kN) minimum breaking strength and meets or exceeds OSHA 1926 and OSHA 1910. It comes with free shipping from Industrial Safety Products.

The Frontline RO2W 2-Way Standing Seam Roof Anchor meets or exceeds OSHA 1926 and OSHA 1910, and it has been tested by an independent third-party laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC Standard 17025. It provides a 5,000 lbs (22 kN) minimum breaking strength and is rated for one person with a combined weight (including clothing and tools) of up to 310 lbs. It is used as the anchorage connector in a complete Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS).

"2-Way" means the anchor plate can be reconfigured to fit different seam widths: you remove the bolts and rotate the anchor plate around the O-ring to the opposite side, letting it grip a narrower or wider standing seam. To install, center the anchor upright (ring facing up) over a fully seamed panel, open it by unscrewing the bolts, place it flat over the seam, then tighten the outside bolts snug followed by the inside bolts — applying about 50 lbs of torque to each — until it is fully clamped with no possibility of detachment. A qualified person other than the installer must then inspect and approve the installation before use.

The Frontline RO2W is designed for standing seam metal roofs with a substrate of at least 24 gauge that is compatible with the anchor's clamp. The seam must be fully seamed and secured to the building structure and able to withstand the 5,000 lbs minimum breaking strength. Standing seams come in many shapes and profiles, and some will not let the anchor close and grip flat — those are incompatible. Employers and users are responsible for verifying seam compatibility and structural strength with a qualified person and/or the seam manufacturer before use.

The Frontline RO2W is rated for one person with a combined weight — including clothing, tools, and equipment — of up to 310 lbs. It has a 5,000 lbs (22 kN) minimum breaking strength and allows a maximum permissible free fall of 6 ft (1.8 m) when used as part of a complete Personal Fall Arrest System with a compatible full-body harness and connecting device.

The Frontline RO2W's device body is made from high-strength ASTM A36 rated steel with a galvanized-steel welded O-ring on top, and the whole unit is galvanized and zinc plated — a corrosion-resistant finish built for exterior rooftop use. It carries a service temperature range of -30°F to +130°F and ships with the (4) 1/2" x 2 1/2" Grade 5 bolts and washers needed to install it.

The Frontline RO2W is a mechanical galvanized-steel clamp anchor for fall arrest and restraint — it is not rated as an electrical (dielectric) device, so for electrical exposure you must rely on separately rated PPE. To avoid swing-fall (pendulum) hazards, install the anchor in-line with the standing seam with the D-ring and direction loading facing the user, work directly underneath the anchor whenever possible, and follow the anchor positioning chart for allowable distances and angles. Improper direction loading can increase fall distance and struck-by hazards or cause anchor failure.

Choose the Frontline RO2W non-penetrating anchor when you can't or don't want to drill into the roof — it clamps to the standing seam and bolts back together with no holes, protecting the roof's waterproofing and finish, and it is temporary, reusable, and portable between locations. A penetrating anchor is fastened permanently through the substrate and suits fixed, long-term tie-off points but breaches the roof surface. Both must provide a 5,000 lbs anchorage; the RO2W is the no-damage, quick-install option for standing seam metal roofs of at least 24 gauge.

Yes. The Frontline RO2W is a temporary, reusable anchor that can be moved from one tie-off point to the next. It must be inspected before each use by the authorized user, and a competent or qualified person other than the user must perform a thorough inspection at least every 6 months. Inspection looks for corrosion, bent or deformed parts, excessive wear, weld defects, legible OSHA/ANSI labels, and any surface contamination (concrete, roofing material, etc.). Any anchor that has arrested a fall or fails inspection must be permanently removed from service.

The Frontline RO2W 2-Way Universal Single Standing Seam Roof Anchor is available from Industrial Safety Products (industrialsafetyproducts.com) with free shipping. It is compatible with a wide range of connecting devices, including self-retracting lifelines (SRLs), shock-absorbing lanyards, and vertical lifelines, and ships with its bolts and washers included. It provides a 5,000 lbs minimum breaking strength and 310 lbs user capacity, and meets or exceeds OSHA 1926 and OSHA 1910.
