Project Ideas

Business

Leading-Edge SRL Rental & Compliance Kits

Offer short-term and monthly rentals of Class 2 leading-edge SRLs bundled with anchors, edge pads, and inspection tags. Include delivery/pickup, pre-use inspection sheets, and a hotline for compatibility questions to help contractors stay compliant on short-notice jobs.


On-Site Hazard Survey & Anchor Plan

Provide paid site assessments focused on leading-edge work. Deliver a concise report with recommended anchor locations, equipment lists, clearance considerations, and a deployment sequence tailored to the site’s tasks and schedule.


Mobile Training & Toolbox Talks

Run on-site micro-trainings covering leading-edge risks, correct device selection, inspection steps, and safe setup principles. Bring visual aids (like the demo prop and clearance board) and issue completion cards and laminated quick-reference guides.


Inspection, Tracking & Recert Service

Set up RFID/QR tagging for clients’ SRLs, manage periodic inspections to ANSI/OSHA schedules, handle manufacturer-authorized service/recert logistics, and provide a client portal with audit-ready documentation and automated reminders.


Pro Bundles & Content Marketing

Sell trade-specific bundles (roofing, steel erection, maintenance) that pair a leading-edge SRL with compatible anchors and edge protection. Support with short educational videos, myth-busting posts, and clearance calculators to drive inbound leads.

Creative

SRL Storage & Inspection Rack

Build a wall-mounted rack with foam-lined hooks and drip tray sized for a 25 ft leading-edge SRL. Include a dry-erase inspection board, QR code labels that link to digital checklists, and slots for manuals and tamper seals so crews can grab a ready-to-go, inspected unit.


Edge Guardian Pad Kit

Fabricate reusable leading-edge protection pads from dense rubber/UHMW with embedded magnets or clamp straps to sit over roof or deck edges. The pads help minimize abrasion on the galvanized cable when routed near edges. Include hi-vis carry pouch and simple placement reminders.


Field Cart & Anchor Caddy

Make a rugged rolling cart with tie-downs for the SRL, compartments for beam clamps/anchors, edge pads, cones, and a flip-up mini whiteboard for quick job briefings. Add a built-in tag dispenser and a sleeve for laminated clearance charts.


Fall Clearance Slide-Rule Board

Create a durable, jobsite-safe sliding calculator board that helps estimate minimum fall clearance based on anchor height, class of SRL, and user stature. Include visual cues for foot-level vs. overhead anchoring scenarios and a space to note site-specific limits.


Transparent Energy Absorber Demo Prop

Build a non-functional, transparent teaching prop that simulates how an energy absorber deploys, using mock webbing and dash marks to illustrate force management. This is a classroom aid only and does not modify or replace any real SRL components.
