Kee Anchor

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The Weightanka® is a CE Approved Portable Deadweight Anchor designed for short-term safety on flat roofs or roof-level equipment. It is compact, portable, and complies with BS EN 795 and other safety regulations.

Specifications
The Weightanka® is fully galvanized to BS EN ISO 1461 standards and features rubber-coated base weights with suction cups for increased friction and roof membrane protection. It is suitable for various roof membranes, even in wet conditions.

Building Height & Safe Working
A risk assessment by a competent person is essential. The Weightanka® should ideally be used as a fall restraint solution, positioned to keep the rope taut and prevent reaching the leading edge. If fall arrest is necessary, a detailed risk assessment and rescue policy must be in place.

Roof Pitch & Safe Working
The device can be used on flat or pitched roofs up to 15° pitch, ensuring it is placed at least 2.5m from the ridge. The roof must support the combined weight of the unit and the operative.

Legal Requirements
Compliance with the Work at Height Regulations 2005 is mandatory, requiring a rescue plan for all fall arrest systems.

Testing & CE Approval
The Weightanka® has been tested to BS EN 795 standards, achieving CE Approval for various roof surfaces. The test involved a 100kg weight freefalling to generate a 25kN force, with the unit stopping the force within a 1.0m horizontal movement.

Components Overview
- Stabiliser Arm: Galvanized steel, 3.5kg
- Rubber Coated Base Weights: 16kg each
- Standard Weight: 25kg each
- Bottom & Top Cross Arms: 16kg and 15kg respectively
