Miller 8816-14/ Adjustable Shadow Beam Anchor D-ring

Product Description

The MILLER 8816-14/ is an adjustable shadow beam anchor designed for temporary fall protection on I-beam and similar structural steel members. Constructed from aluminum and bronze, this anchor provides a 400-pound capacity connection point for personal fall arrest systems. The D-ring connection interface accepts standard snap hooks and carabiners used in PFAS lanyards and self-retracting lifelines. Licensed safety professionals and structural ironworkers typically deploy this anchor on job sites where permanent anchorage is not available or practical. Its adjustable design allows it to fit a range of beam flange widths without requiring welding or drilling into the structure.

This anchor is suited for temporary use in industrial, commercial, and construction environments wherever steel I-beam or wide-flange structural members serve as the overhead anchorage point. It is intended for single-worker tie-off applications and is removed after the work is complete. Typical use cases include steel erection, maintenance work at elevation, and rooftop mechanical service where beam access is available.

Compatibility

Designed as a temporary D-ring I-beam anchor compatible with standard personal fall arrest system lanyards, self-retracting lifelines, and connecting hardware that accept a D-ring anchorage point.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a competent person as defined under OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart M fall protection regulations. Before attaching the anchor, power down or de-energize any electrical equipment in the work area when applicable. Inspect the beam flange for structural integrity and ensure the anchor is fully seated and secured before applying load. Do not exceed the rated 400-pound capacity and remove the anchor from service if any component shows signs of deformation, cracking, or corrosion.
