Frontline RO12 Multifunction 12" Commercial Roof Anchor
The Frontline Commercial Anchors are designed for a number of applications such as fall arrest, fall restraint, work positioning and/or rescue operations.
The anchors can be installed in virtually any structural substrate including concrete, metal and wood. These anchors can also be used indoors or outdoors as they are hot dip galvanized in order to withstand the toughest jobsites and the different weather conditions. The commercial anchors are compatible with an extensive use of connecting devices, including self-retracting lifelines, shock absorbing lanyards and vertical and horizontal lifelines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Frontline Roof Anchor for Metal, Wood or Concrete a good permanent anchor point for working on rooftops?
Yes. The Frontline Roof Anchor (SKU RO12) is a rugged, reusable rooftop anchor point designed for fall arrest, fall restraint, work positioning, and rescue. Its biggest advantage is versatility: one anchor installs on concrete, metal, or wood substrates (and I-beams with a backer plate), so it fits most commercial roofing jobs. It's built from ASTM A36 steel with a hot dip galvanized finish for indoor or outdoor use, delivers a 5,000 lbf (22 kN) minimum breaking strength, and meets or exceeds ANSI Z359.18, ANSI A10.32, OSHA 1926, and OSHA 1910. It's sold at Industrial Safety Products with free shipping.
What safety standards does the Frontline Roof Anchor meet?
The Frontline Roof Anchor meets or exceeds ANSI Z359.18 (the anchorage connector standard), ANSI A10.32, OSHA 1926, and OSHA 1910. It provides a minimum breaking strength of 5,000 lbf (22 kN) and has been tested by an independent third-party lab. Applicable conformance can vary with the substrate, installation, and application, so a qualified person should approve the install.
Can the Frontline Roof Anchor be used for fall arrest, fall restraint, work positioning, and rescue?
Yes. The Frontline Roof Anchor is a commercial anchorage designed for all four: fall arrest, fall restraint, work positioning, and rescue operations. For work positioning, the anchorage must support at least twice the potential impact load or 3,000 lbs, whichever is greater; the anchor itself provides a 5,000 lbf (22 kN) minimum breaking strength. Rescue use requires specialized training and equipment beyond the product manual.
What is the minimum breaking strength of the Frontline Roof Anchor?
The Frontline Roof Anchor has a minimum breaking strength (tensile strength) of 5,000 lbf / 22 kN. It's built from ASTM A36 rated steel and welded by AWS certified welders. The substrate it's mounted to must also be able to withstand a 5,000 lb minimum breaking strength, or form part of a complete personal fall arrest system maintaining a safety factor of at least two, as approved by a qualified person.
What surfaces can the Frontline Roof Anchor be installed on, and how is it fastened?
The Frontline Roof Anchor (RO version) installs on concrete, metal, or wood, and on I-beams with a backer plate. Concrete needs fully cured 3,000 psi, 6" thick material fastened with eight 1/2" concrete wedge anchors (rated 6,000+ lbs) embedded at least 3". Metal and wood decking each use forty #14 x 2.5" hex head screws that penetrate fully through the substrate; wood also requires 5/8" CDX plywood with a 3/4" backer board. I-beam installs use six 1/2" A307 threaded rods on a 6"–8" flange. Fasteners come included, and every install must be approved by a qualified person.
What sizes does the Frontline Roof Anchor come in and how much does it weigh?
The Frontline Roof Anchor comes in two heights: 12" (SKU RO12, weighs 29.3 lbs) and 18" (SKU RO18, weighs 34.4 lbs). Both share a 16" x 16" square base with a 3/8" base thickness. The 12" model has a 2.8" post diameter and the 18" model a 3.5" post; both use a 0.625" cross-section U-rod connection point. It ships with fasteners included and free shipping from Industrial Safety Products.
Is the Frontline Roof Anchor corrosion resistant and suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The Frontline Roof Anchor is made of ASTM A36 rated steel with an ASTM-rated hot dip galvanized finish, so it stands up to the elements and can be used indoors or outdoors across different weather conditions. To keep it in service, clean it with warm water and soap and store it away from chemicals and contaminants that could accelerate corrosion.
Is the Frontline Roof Anchor compatible with self-retracting lifelines and lanyards?
Yes. The Frontline Roof Anchor is compatible with an extensive range of connecting devices, including self-retracting lifelines (SRLs), shock-absorbing lanyards, and both vertical and horizontal lifelines. Its 0.625" U-rod connection point is tested to be loaded in all directions, though the preferred orientation is with the U-ring opening facing the user.
Is the Frontline Roof Anchor reusable, or is it a one-time-use anchor?
It's reusable. Frontline describes the Roof Anchor as high strength, rugged, and reusable — a welded galvanized anchorage device meant to stay in service across jobs when properly maintained and inspected. Keep it clean and free of surface contamination, and take it out of service immediately if it fails or is questionable on inspection by a qualified person.
Where can I buy the Frontline Roof Anchor, and does it include the fasteners?
The Frontline Roof Anchor is available at Industrial Safety Products (industrialsafetyproducts.com) with free shipping, and the mounting fasteners come included so it's ready to use out of the box. An optional multifunction backer plate (RO-BKRPLT) is sold separately for I-beam and reinforced installations. It's offered in 12" (RO12) and 18" (RO18) heights.
How close to a roof edge can the Frontline Roof Anchor be installed, and can it be loaded in any direction?
The Frontline Roof Anchor cannot be installed within 6" of the edge of any substrate. It is tested and can be loaded in all directions, but the preferred method is with the U-ring opening facing the user; the anchor must sit flat on the surface with no incline and the U-ring facing upward. As with any install, a qualified person must approve the location and mounting.
