ABSORBICA®-Y – Double lanyard with integrated energy absorber
ABSORBICA®-Y is a double lanyard with compact energy absorber, designed for progression on a vertical structure or a horizontal lifeline, and when passing intermediate anchors. It has several installation options on the harness and can be used with different types of connectors. It is available in two lengths: 80 or 150 cm versions (without connectors). The 150 cm version has elasticized arms to avoid hindering progression. Depending on the connectors used, ABSORBICA®-Y is certified to American, European, and Russian standards.
Designed for progression on a vertical structure or horizontal lifeline, and when passing intermediate anchors
Absorbs the energy of a fall: – By tearing the webbing of the energy absorber, the impact force exerted on the user is reduced. – works with users who weigh between 50 and 140 kg (1) – progressive tearing reduces the deceleration on lightweight users
Compact design: – compact shock absorber so as not to hinder the user, – FLEX version with 150 cm elastic straps so as not to interfere with movement.
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 ways of attaching it to the harness depending on use: – frequent hooking/unhooking: with a snap hook held in the correct position by a STRING element (supplied with the lanyard), – quasi-permanent connection: with a screw-on RING OPEN eyelet whose round shape ensures optimal positioning, or with a SWIVEL OPEN swivel to prevent twisting.
Two options for connectors at end of lanyard: carabiners, or large-opening MGO OPEN connectors
