Malta Dynamics X550 Truck-Counterweight Anchor, 22 ft | Canada
Malta Dynamics X550 overhead anchor. The X550 is a truck-counterweighted davit system for fall protection while loading and unloading flatbeds, tankers and trailers. A vehicle drives onto its thresholds and its weight stabilizes the unit, so it needs no separate ballast or permanent installation. It gives one user a fixed anchor point up to 22 feet above ground.
