Werner A111003 Cross Arm Strap, 3 & 4 ft (Web, O-Ring, D-Ring)

Werner A111003 — the working crew’s cross-arm anchor strap

The werner a111003 is the least expensive way in our lineup to turn overhead steel into a rated anchor: a web sling with an O-ring on one end and a D-ring on the other. Wrap the beam, pass the D-ring through the O-ring, pull it tight — the choke grips the steel and the D-ring takes your snap hook. Two stocked lengths cover most members: this 3 ft A111003 and the 4 ft A111004, selectable above.

As a cross arm strap anchor it does the same job as straps costing twice as much, which is why one ends up in every gang box once a crew tries it. For cross arm strap fall protection rigging, the rules below on wrap, edges, and clearance are the part that matters more than the brand.

Pros & cons

Specifications

What this strap is for

Mechanical, electrical, and maintenance work under decks and along beam lines — trades whose overhead is structure, not roof. It holds the budget slot of the connectors collection, supplies the A of the ABC system in the fall protection equipment guide, and can serve as end-anchorage hardware for a horizontal lifeline span per the system manual. The worker’s end starts with a harness from the ranked harness guide and the loadout in the construction PPE checklist.

Building the system on this strap

Clip in a shock-absorbing lanyard from the lanyards collection (ranked in the lanyard guide) or an SRL from the SRL collection (ranked in the SRL guide) — a Saflok carabiner keeps the connection clean, and every harness in the plan should carry trauma straps.

How the Werner strap compares

The Guardian 10787 Premium runs 6 ft with a dual-D-ring choke, the Guardian 01630 is the 4 ft pass-thru-loop pattern, and KwikSafety’s Gibbon Grip spans 3 to 10 ft. Steel you cannot wrap takes the bolt-on FallTech 7414; Werner loyalists can pair this strap with the K111201 roofing kit and A510000 concrete anchor from the same vendor. The whole field lives in the fall protection collection.

Safety note: a strap anchor is one component of a personal fall arrest system — wrap it per Werner’s instructions on structure a qualified person judges adequate, protect the webbing from sharp edges, and let OSHA 1926.502’s 5,000 lb-per-worker anchorage rule govern the rig in use. Anchor at or above the D-ring where geometry allows, run the clearance math, and retire every loaded component after an arrest.

Ordering FAQ

Is the Werner A111003 in stock and ready to ship?
Yes — this listing is active and ships through Amazon. Select your length on this page; each variant links to its own live Amazon listing for price and delivery.

What lengths does this Werner strap come in?
Two stocked lengths: the A111003 at 3 ft and the A111004 at 4 ft. Pick by the girth of the steel you wrap — the strap must choke fully around the member with the rings clear of the wrap.

How do the O-ring and D-ring work together?
Wrap the strap around the beam and pass the D-ring end through the O-ring — the strap chokes down on the steel and the D-ring becomes the rated connection point for your snap hook.

What is this strap for?
Turning overhead beams, joists, and cross members into anchor points — the standard rig for mechanical, electrical, and steel trades who need tie-off where no fixed anchor exists.

What connects to the D-ring?
A shock-absorbing lanyard or SRL via a rated self-locking snap hook or carabiner. Anchor at or above your dorsal D-ring when geometry allows, and run the clearance math before picking the connector.

Is the A111003 OSHA compliant?
It serves the anchorage role in a fall arrest rig — OSHA 1926.502 requires 5,000 lb per attached worker or a qualified-person design, with the strap wrapped per Werner’s instructions on structure that can take the load.

3 ft or 4 ft — which should I buy?
Measure the steel: the wrap must close fully with the rings clear. The 3 ft A111003 suits most joists and beams; step to the 4 ft A111004 for heavier members or where you want wrap-position options.

Can I use this strap on sharp-edged steel?
Pad or avoid sharp and rough edges — webbing’s failure mode is cutting under load. Inspect the wrap path before rigging and pick another anchor position if the edge cannot be protected.

How many workers can tie off to one strap?
One per strap unless Werner’s instructions state otherwise — the OSHA anchorage requirement applies per attached worker.

How do I inspect this strap?
Before each use: webbing free of cuts, fraying, burns, UV chalking, and chemical damage; stitching intact; O-ring and D-ring free of deformation or cracks. Retire after any fall arrest with the loaded system.

Werner or the Guardian 10787 — how do I choose?
Same rigging concept, different hardware and lengths: Werner runs 3–4 ft with an O-ring choke at the lowest price in our strap lineup; the Guardian Premium runs 6 ft with a dual D-ring choke. Match length to your steel first.

Does Werner make the rest of the system?
Werner fall protection is well represented here — roofing kits, concrete anchors, and lanyards — so a single-vendor rig is easy if your supplier consolidates on Werner.

How do I reorder straps for a crew?
Reorder from this page — each length variant keeps its own linked Amazon ASIN, so adding a strap to every gang box takes seconds.
