Safetor Information
Research:
Finding the right type of steel that will stand up to the stress due to fall-arrest and not create a hazard is a must, that is why we here at Collins Corporation Ltd. spend a lot of time researching and testing steel types and coatings before we start manufacturing height safety anchor points.Testing:
We engaged the services of Telarc registered Material Testing Laboratory and Jason Myburgh of Quality Safety Limited (QSI) to ensure that our products were optimized with both static and dynamic testing.Material Testing Laboratory static load testing surface anchors.
All tests that were carried out surpassed all regulatory testing standards
We carried out two static tests on both .40 and .55 on a single rib of the roofing material. The load was held for 3 minutes on each test, we used Olympic Bulb-Tite RV6605-0906w rivets as attachments.
The load on both .40 roofing tests was held at 15kN for 3 minutes, the load was then increased to failure. The first test failed at 17kN and the second failed at 16.1kN.
The load on both .55 roofing tests was held at 21kN for 3 minutes, the load was then increased to failure. The first test failed at 23.3kN and the second failed at 22.8kN.
Standards & Building Codes:
Unlike so many other height safety anchors, Safetor Height Safety Anchors that come into contact with other building products won’t seriously affect their compliance to the standards or invalidate building codes that they are compliant to.Safetor Roof Anchors tests are all designed by Collins Corporation Ltd. and all tests carried out are to AS/NZS 5532.2013 Standards: Manufacturing Requirements for single anchor point device use for harness-based work at height.
Environmental Powder Coating:
Safetor Height Safety Anchors are suited to many harsh environmental conditions due to the thermoplastic powder coating we use; our products can stand up to whatever the environment can throw at them.
Plascoat PPA 571 ES is a thermoplastic coating powder which has been specifically designed to provide a long lasting, tough coating for exterior applications to mild steel.
Plascoat PPA 571 ES is resistant to stress cracking, adverse weather conditions, detergents, salt spray and typical airborne pollutants. The coating maintains excellent adhesion to the metal substrate without the need for a separate primer. The material also provides good abrasion and impact resistance.
