APPLICATIONS
Purpose:
The Fixed Beam Anchor is used as an anchorage connector for a personal fall arrest system. It’s
designed to be attached on the Horizontal or Vertical I-Beam. The Fixed Beam Anchor might be used as an
end termination for either a shock-absorbing lanyard or self-retracting lifeline for fall arrest, or with a
positioning lanyard for fall restraint.
Limitations:
Beam Flange Sizes: The Fixed Beam Anchor may only be installed on beams with flanges within the
adjustment range of the model. See the SPECIFICATION.
Capacity: This Fixed Beam Anchor is designed for one person use with a combined weight (clothing,
tools, etc.) of no more than 310 lbs (140kgs). No more than one personal protective system may be
connected to this equipment at one time.

Free Fall: Personal fall arrest systems used with this equipment must be rigged to limit the free fall to a
maximum of 6 feet. The maximum free fall must always be within the manufacturer’s free fall capacity
of the system components used to arrest the fall. When a free fall greater than 6 feet and up to a
maximum of 12 feet if possible, Tiger recommends using a personal fall arrest system incorporating
with an energy absorbing lanyard.
Swing Falls: Before installing or using, make consideration for eliminating or minimizing all swing fall
hazards. Swing falls occur when the anchor is not directly above the location where a fall occurs. The
user must always work as close to be in line with the anchor point as possible. Swing falls significantly
increase the possibility of serious injury or death in the event of a fall.

Fall Clearance: There must be sufficient clearance below the anchorage connector to arrest a fall
before the user strikes the ground or other obstruction. The clearance required is dependent on the
following safety factors:
Elevation of Fixed Beam Anchor
Length of connecting subsystem
Deceleration distance
Movement of harness attachment element
Worker height
Free fall distance

Personal Fall Arrest System: The Fixed Beam anchor is designed for use with Tiger approved
components or CE/ANSI certified components. Use of this equipment with non-approved components
may result in incompatibility between equipment, and could affect the reliability and safety of the
complete system. A full body harness must be worn by the user when connected to the Fixed Beam
Anchor. When making connections with the Fixed Beam Anchor, eliminate all possibility of roll-out.
Roll-out occurs when interference between a hook and the attachment point causes the hook gate to
unintentionally open and release. All connector gates must be self-closing and self-locking.

INSTALLATION AND USE
Installation configuration:
Bottom Mount Top Mount Side Mount
Inspect the equipment according to INSPECTION of this manual before each use.
The Fixed Beam Anchor could be installed on any I-beam for both Horizontal and Vertical use. The Fixed
Beam Anchor could be located on the top, bottom (horizontal) or side (vertical) of I-beam.
Step 1. Remove the quick release lock pin. Open the adjustable beam block by turning the tightening
handle counter-clockwise. Then press the safety lock to adjust the beam size.
Step 2. Place the Fixed Beam Anchor onto beam flange in your required position (top, bottom, side).
Step 3. Place fixed beam clamp against one side of the beam flange. Slide the adjustable clamp against
opposite side of the beam flange.
Step 4. Ensure the safety lock is in nearest position to the beam flange.
Step 5. Insert the quick release lock pin to fix the safety lock, ensuring pin is locked into place.
Step 6. To secure the Fixed Beam Anchor onto the flange, swivel the tightening handle away from the
hexagonal rod and turn adjustment handle clockwise in half turns. Ensure beam clamps are tight
against both sides of the flange. Only hands tighten is allowed. Ensure the quick release lock pin has
not bottomed out. If adjustment pin has bottomed out, reinstall the Fixed Beam Anchor to the next
locking position. If the quick release lock pin is damaged or absent, the equipment is still in
workable condition. However, for safety concerning, when the quick release lock pin is damaged or
absent, the equipment must be sent back to your dealers, distributors, or manufacturer to replace a
new quick release lock pin.
