Project Ideas
Business
Fall-Protection Kit Rental
Offer short-term rentals of complete fall-protection kits featuring the 4 ft choker anchor for wrap-around beam anchorage. Provide delivery, quick fit checks, and pickup for homeowners installing holiday lights or small contractors doing one-off rooftop tasks. Upsell with edge protectors and extra anchors for multi-point setups.
On-Site Temporary Anchorage Setup
A mobile service that evaluates the work area and installs compliant temporary anchor points using cable chokers around suitable beams or posts. Include brief user orientation, Job Hazard Analysis templates, and leave-behind diagrams showing anchor locations and connector compatibility, then remove gear when the job is complete.
Hands-On Micro-Workshops
Run 90-minute training sessions for homeowners, facilities staff, and small crews on correct use of choker anchors as vertical or horizontal temporary anchors. Use a portable practice stand and emphasize inspection, ring orientation, edge protection, clearance calculations, and connection to SRLs or rope grabs per ANSI/OSHA.
Safety Gear Maintenance and Inspection Service
Provide periodic inspection, cleaning guidance, and documentation for anchors, lifelines, and connectors. Tag each cable choker with a scannable ID, maintain digital records, and alert clients to retire or replace items. Bundle in on-site toolbox talks and restocking of consumables like labels and edge guards.
Curated E-Commerce Bundles
Sell ready-to-deploy anchorage bundles centered on the 4 ft choker anchor: ‘Rooftop Starter,’ ‘Mezzanine Maintenance,’ and ‘HVAC Access’ kits. Each includes compatible connectors, lifelines, edge protection, and a laminated setup guide. Add video tutorials, live chat fitting support, and subscription reminders for inspections.
Creative
DIY Roof Safety Kit-in-a-Bag
Assemble a compact, homeowner-friendly kit that centers on the 4 ft choker anchor for wrapping around rafters or ridge beams during roof maintenance. Include a compatible harness, rope grab, lifeline, carabiner, edge protector, and a laminated quick-start card showing proper choker setup with the large/small O-rings. Store it all in a rugged duffel so it’s easy to carry and deploy.
Beam/Post Edge-Protection Sleeve
Sew or fabricate a removable protective sleeve that wraps around beams or posts before applying the cable choker. Use tough Cordura or PVC-coated fabric with hook-and-loop and a slick inner liner to reduce abrasion on both the anchor and the structure. Color-code sizes for common beam dimensions and add reflective trim for visibility.
Anchor Practice Stand
Build a freestanding training fixture with a few interchangeable ‘beam’ segments—square tube, round post, and I-beam—with rounded edges, so users can safely practice proper choke placement, ring orientation, and connector attachment at ground level. Include labels that indicate correct vs. incorrect wrapping and clearance considerations.
Inspection Tagging and Log System
Create durable inspection tags with QR codes that link to a digital log. Each time the anchor is used, the user scans and records date, inspector, site, and any notes. Package the tags with a wall-mounted checklist board for shops and a glovebox-size log card for field kits to reinforce pre-use inspections and retirement criteria.
Van/Shop Storage and Deployment Rack
Craft a compact rack with rubber-lined hooks sized for the choker’s O-rings to prevent kinks. Add labeled cubbies for carabiners, rope grabs, and edge guards. Install in a service van or shop wall so anchors stay untangled, are easy to inventory, and can be grabbed in the correct sequence during setup.
