Fonction
Lanyard with a energy absorber used as a connecting
element between a fixed or mobile anchorage point
and the attachment point on the harness.
The energy absorber safely stops a fall from a height.
Without a shock absorber a free fall of more than 50
cm can cause serious injuries.

Description and principle

Webbing is the most economical but may get cut on
sharp corners. Stranded rope offers good value for
money. For applications on building sites, rope with
braided sheath offers considerably greater durability
and good resistance to moisture.

Two lengths of lanyard are available: 1.5 m and 2 m,
and the LCAR model has an integral device for
adjusting its length.The choice of the length depends
on the application but the height of fall increases the
length of the lanyard required.
A single lanyard (one strand) is used when the user
attaches it to a fixed or mobile anchorage point (figure
1).A fork lanyard must be used when the user moves
from one anchor to another on the structure (figure
2).
The energy absorber is the type in which the textile
weft tears . It limits the shock to which the user is
subjected in the event of a fall to less than 5 KN and
will stop a 4 m free fall.
The connectors are either steel (for budget models)
or light alloy.Models with a safety catch are preferable:
either automatic locking or double locking snap hook.
Connectors with a small opening are used for
anchoring on rings, and connectors with a large
opening for anchoring on structures or on scaffolding.
