The Bearpaw is a part of the Ballantyne Gear Eveook Non-Penetrating Anchorage Connector and is the connector at the front of the Eveook which connects the Eveook to the Ropes. The Bearpaw II is made to be compatible with the 8.5 inch wheels and is made with 1 connector hole for a vertical lifelines.
The Eveook and the Bearpaw were originally designed to support 2 Vertical Lifelines, but since the ANSI Z359.18 Standard on anchorage connectors does not provide guidance for more than 1 connector hole, for fall protection on an anchorage for residential style sloped roofs, the Eveooks come with a Bearpaw (the Bearpaw II) that has only 1 connector hole for a Vertical Lifeline.
The Eveook, using the Bearpaw II meets the ANSI Z359.6 standard as well, when used as a part of the engineered system that is described within the Technical Instruction Manual for Eveook and Systems. With the Bearpaw II, the Eveook system also meets OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502 and OSHA 1910.140, when used as specified in the Instruction Manual.
