The Raptor R1000 is a portable anchorage system that allows up to two workers to tie-off during leading-edge work on low-slope roofs and elevated platforms. The OSHA-compliant system can be rolled to a site and moved along with the work. The Raptor can be outfitted with two job boxes, or a job box and an air compressor or generator. It can provide fall-restraint for two workers with harnesses and lanyards or fall-arrest for one. The wheels do not damage roof material, but in the event of a fall, a claw will engage in the substrate to secure the workers. Garlock Equipment; 800-328-9522; www.railguard.net
