APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR RELOCATING ASSEMBLED NON-PENETRATING ANCHORS

摘要

A carrier for an assembled fall hazard anchor includes a frame including a rear bar and first and second carrier handles connected to the rear bar to define a plane. Wheels are rotatably connected to opposite ends of the rear bar and located outwardly of the carrier handles. First and second abutments are secured to the rear bar intermediate the carrier handles and extend downward for a substantial portion of the radius of the wheels. A swiveling hook is located intermediate the carrier handles and at an adjustable spacing above the plane and spaced in front of the rear bar. With the carrier handles not pivoted by the user, the ring of the assembled anchor can be received in the swiveling hook. The swiveling hook with an adjusted spacing, the ring and the assembled anchor can be raised by pivoting the carrier handles about the rear bar.

1. Carrier for an assembled anchor, with the assembled anchor having a width, a length, and a height, with the assembled anchor including a ring adapted to be connected to a safety lifeline, with the carrier comprising, in combination: a rear bar having opposite ends; wheels rotatably connected to the opposite ends of the rear bar and having a radius and a wheel spacing greater than the width of the assembled anchor; first and second carrier handles connected to the rear bar intermediate the wheels and extending generally perpendicular to the rear bar, with the first and second carrier handles having a handle spacing greater than the width of the assembled anchor but less than the wheel spacing, with the first and second carrier handles and the rear bar defining a plane; first and second abutments secured to the rear bar intermediate the first and second carrier handles and extending downward for a distance generally perpendicular to the rear bar and the first and second carrier handles and the plane, with the first and second abutments having an abutment spacing less than the handle spacing, with the distance being a substantial portion of the radius of the wheels; and a swiveling hook located intermediate the first and second carrier handles and spaced from the rear bar, with the swiveling hook having an adjustable spacing from the plane opposite to the first and second abutments, with the swiveling hook adaptable to receive the ring of the anchor, with the swiveling hook located at the height of the anchor when the first and second carrier handles are in a normal position when not pivoted by a user, with the first and second carrier handles pivotable about the rear bar from the normal position to a moving position raising the swiveling hook relative to the rear bar opposite to the first and second abutments.
