Tracforce Shock Absorbing Lanyard One Arm 6 Ft 1.8 m

Features:High-abrasion resistance Fire retardant LightweightDesigned for a 6 ft (1.8 m) maximum free fall6 ft. (1.8 m) tracforce® lanyard with a 3/4 in. (20 mm)Self-locking snap hooksApplications:Welding For industrial and commercial welders who work at heightsHigh heat environmentsThe Tracpac Kevlar® shock-absorbing lanyard is designed for use by industrial and commercial welders who work at heights and offers an exceptionally long life under working conditions that would normally destroy a polyester or nylon equivalent in just weeks. The Kevlar® and Technora fibers have exceptional high heat resistant properties that repel welding spatter and offer die electric advantages when confronted with arc flash hazard. With extremely high-abrasion resistance and the ability to withstand flame and heat, the Tracpac Kevlar® shock-absorbing lanyard will far outlast polyester or nylon and result in an economic benefit.The Tracpac Kevlar® shock-absorbing lanyard is composed of a shock absorber to which a 13⁄4 in. (45 mm) Kevlar lanyard is attached. The shock absorber is covered with a tubular Nomex sleeve.When a fall occurs, the sudden stop caused by the fall arrest system submits the human body to a high impact force (the longer the free fall distance, the greater the force).The purpose of the shock absorber is to lower the impact force experienced in a fall by dissipating the kinetic energy and controlling deceleration. The shock-absorbing device is made of a specially woven webbing that ellongates through tearing on its weave and stitching. This action limits the impact force to less than 900 lbs. (4 kN).
