Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a revolutionary building material that offers many advantages over traditional construction methods. CLT is made of layers of wood boards glued together at right angles, creating a strong and stable panel that can be used for walls, floors, and roofs. CLT is lightweight, fire-resistant, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly. It also reduces construction time, labor, and waste.
However, to ensure the safety and performance of CLT structures, you need to use the right connectors and fasteners. One of the most critical components of any CLT project is the anchor point. The anchor point is the location where the personal fall arrest system (PFAS) is attached to the structure. The anchor point must be able to withstand the forces generated by a fall and provide a sufficient margin of safety.
That’s why you need the CLT3 Anchor from Safety Anchor Post Systems (SAPS). The CLT3 Anchor is a post-installed anchor that can be used for CLT construction and steel structures. It is designed and tested to meet the OSHA standards for anchor points
The CLT3 Anchor has the following features and benefits:
Built for CLT and Steel Structures
The CLT3 Anchor can be used for both CLT and steel projects, as it can be installed into concrete, wood, or metal substrates. The anchor has a fire topping that utilizes eight standard 3-inch wood screws for CLT construction, and a welded-on attachment point that requires four 1-inch stitch welds for steel structures. The anchor can accommodate different thicknesses and orientations of CLT panels and steel beams, providing a flexible and versatile solution for various applications.
Reusable Cross Laminated Timber Anchor
Crafted with sustainability and reusability in mind: The CLT3 Anchor is reusable, unlike angle iron stanchions that are typically discarded after use. The anchor can be easily removed and reused in another location, as long as the hole is properly cleaned and filled with new adhesive. This reduces the material and environmental costs of the project, as well as the waste and disposal issues. The CLT3 Anchor is also made of high-quality steel that is corrosion-resistant and durable, ensuring a long service life and a low maintenance cost.
Easy to install for Cross Laminated Timber and Steel Structures
The CLT3 Anchor is easy to install and use, as it only requires a few simple tools and steps. The anchor can be installed in less than 15 minutes, depending on the substrate and the adhesive. The anchor has a swivel D-ring that allows for 360-degree rotation and 180-degree flip, which reduces the risk of twisting and tangling of the lifeline. The anchor also has a clear and visible label that indicates the model, size, capacity, and torque of the anchor, as well as the installation and inspection instructions.
CLT3 is the Ideal Cross Laminated Timber Anchor
The CLT3 Anchor is the ideal choice for your CLT project, as it provides a safe and reliable anchor point for your fall protection system. The anchor is compatible with a variety of harnesses, lanyards, and connectors, and can be used for horizontal, vertical, or overhead applications. The anchor is also compliant with the OSHA and ANSI standards, and has been tested and certified by an independent third-party laboratory.
