INSPECTION & LOAD TESTING
American Anchor provides roof anchor inspection, davit testing and certification, and load testing for fall protection and suspended access systems nationwide, from our headquarters in Taunton, Massachusetts, and regional offices across the country.
Schedule an inspection
Roof anchors and tie-backs, davit arms and bases, monorails, outriggers, horizontal lifelines, building maintenance units (BMUs) and other permanently installed facade access equipment, from any manufacturer, not only our own.
Annual visual inspections, proof load testing, and recertification as required by OSHA 1910.27, ANSI/IWCA I-14.1 and ASME A120.1. Every system gets a written inspection report and certification, and failed anchors are tagged out of service.
Because we engineer, manufacture and install our own equipment, we can design, fabricate and install the correction and recertify the system, with no hand-off to another contractor.
American Anchor has completed more than 50,000 installations, inspections and load tests since 2000, and more than 3,400 clients rely on us for recurring inspections.
