Beam Guard + Anchor Organizer
Sew or fabricate high-visibility protective sleeves that wrap the beam/post before choking the cable anchor to prevent marring and increase grip. Add a small pocket for inspection tags, color-coded direction arrows on the large O-ring, and a hook-and-loop keeper to stow excess. Great add-on for shops and theaters to keep anchors neat and compliant.
Rooftop DIY Safety Kit-in-a-Bucket
Assemble a compact, grab-and-go kit for short-duration roof tasks: the 3 ft choker anchor, ANSI-rated harness, shock-absorbing lanyard, lifeline/rope grab, rated carabiners, beam/edge protectors, and laminated quick-start cards with an inspection checklist.

Theater Grid Anchor Map
Create a color-coded map and QR-tag system for anchors placed on specific I-beams in a theater or studio.

Mobile Van/Trailer Tie-Off Station
Install a short section of structural channel or I-beam inside a service van or trailer and use the choker anchor as a removable internal tie-off for restraint while accessing roof racks or securing loads. Add a protective beam wrap to prevent finish damage. For restraint only—never for suspension.
