Description

Designed for progression on a horizontal lifeline (rope or cable) or on an elevated platform, without passing intermediate anchors
VARIO adjustment system allows the lanyard length to be adjusted from 100 to 150 cm in order to reduce the potential fall height
Absorbs energy in case of a fall
- tearing of the energy absorber webbing limits the impact force on the use
- works with users who weigh between 50 and 130 k
- progressive tearing reduces the deceleration on lightweight users
Minimal bulk: compact energy absorber facilitates handling
Durable fabric pouch with opening system at each end, protects the energy absorber from abrasion or contaminants while allowing for regular inspection of the absorber
Two options for installation on the harness, depending on use:
- frequent connection/disconnection: with a carabiner held in correct position by the STRING positioning accessory (included with the lanyard)
- semi-permanent connection: with a RING OPEN gated ring, whose circular shape ensures optimal positioning
Two connector options for the end of the lanyard: a locking carabiner, or MGO OPEN connector with large gate opening
