Miller SkyGrip System Stanchion with Standard Base SGS18

The SkyGrip System Stanchion with Standard Base is a temporary anchorage device designed for fall protection applications. It consists of an upright post that can be secured to either steel or concrete beams. The system supports horizontal lifelines or functions as a single-point anchorage. Installation involves clamping the stanchion to a beam flange within specified width and thickness limits. It is intended for use where permanent anchorage points are not available. The design allows for quick setup and removal without damaging the host structure.

This device protects against falls from height by providing a secure connection point for personal fall arrest systems. When properly installed, it arrests a falling worker and limits the forces exerted on the body during a fall event. The anchorage must be used with compatible harnesses, lanyards, and energy absorbers as part of a complete fall protection system. It is not designed to support loads beyond those specified for fall arrest scenarios. Regular inspection before each use is required to ensure ongoing safety and integrity.

Typical applications include steel erection, concrete formwork, bridge maintenance, and industrial plant work where beams are present. The stanchion is commonly used on construction sites during the erection of structural frames. It can be attached to I-beams, H-beams, or concrete girders with flanges within the 0.1 to 0.5 metre width range. Flange thickness must not exceed 57.2 millimetres for safe clamping. The system is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments where weather conditions do not compromise its function.
