AL-303 AP3 Steel Roof Anchor Hoist Point

The PGTEC AP3 is a welded steel roof anchor and hoist point designed for permanent or long-duration installation on metal and concrete roofs where workers need both a fall-arrest tie-off and a rated lifting point for small loads. Built around a triangular hot-dip galvanized base plate with four fixing holes, the unit carries a vertical forged swivel D-ring eye that allows a load to be applied from any direction without point-loading the weld. The navy-blue painted end accents and compact footprint make it easy to integrate into roof safety layouts while remaining unobtrusive. Rated for a minimum breaking strength above 22 kN in the fall-protection direction and suitable for up to two workers in fall arrest when correctly engineered, the AP3 is fixed through the roof membrane into a suitable structural deck or purlin, making it a favourite anchor for roof access hatches, skylight maintenance and HVAC equipment change-outs. It is equally at home on industrial flat roofs, warehouse canopies and curved metal roofs where a permanent anchor must resist wind, rain and freeze-thaw cycling for years. Every unit is welded to a documented procedure and visually inspected before dispatch, and the base plate is sized to spread load over cladding fixings. Because the eye swivels, the AP3 tolerates lanyard movement and self-retracting lifeline re-direction without binding. The PGTEC AP3 gives facilities managers a single, durable anchor that satisfies both work-at-height and light-hoist duties for the life of the building.
