HANS IV 20 Small Post Anchor SFI/FIA

The HANS IV 20 Small Post Anchor SFI/FIA is a critical safety component engineered for competitive and high-performance drivers who demand race-grade neck protection. This anchor system serves as the foundation for HANS (Head And Neck Support) device installation, securing the shoulder harness attachment points that work in concert with your safety belts to minimize head and neck injury during frontal and side-impact collisions. Whether you're building a dedicated track car, preparing a road-course machine, or upgrading an existing race vehicle, this small post variant fits compact cockpit layouts where traditional anchor configurations lack clearance.

Manufactured to exacting SFI and FIA certification standards, the HANS IV 20 Small Post Anchor utilizes precision-engineered steel construction to withstand extreme loads during collision events without deformation or failure. The compact post design minimizes intrusion into the driver's footwell or pedal box while maintaining full load-transfer capability to the seat structure, ensuring consistent restraint geometry lap after lap. At 2.66 pounds, the anchor assembly delivers substantial strength-to-weight efficiency—critical when every ounce matters in competitive applications. The small post configuration makes this anchor ideal for single-seater cars, tube-frame vehicles, and factory-bodied race cars where installation space is limited but safety standards are non-negotiable.

Installation requires secure welding or bolting directly to the seat frame—never to the chassis alone—to ensure load paths channel impact energy through the strongest structural points. Professional installation is strongly recommended; proper anchor alignment and torque specifications are essential to HANS system performance. This anchor works exclusively with HANS IV harness systems and compatible HANS-approved shoulder restraints, creating a complete integrated safety solution that has become mandatory across most serious road racing series and recommended by IMSA, SCCA, and international motorsport governing bodies. Verify your specific vehicle's frame geometry and seat configuration before ordering to ensure the small post dimension suits your cockpit layout.
