Product Overview
The Portwest Adjustable 2m Restraint Lanyard is a fundamental component for any professional working at height. Rather than arresting a fall after it has occurred, this lanyard is designed as a preventative measure, acting as a reliable boundary to keep the user away from potential fall hazards. It is a functional, well-engineered piece of equipment that provides the necessary security for high-stakes environments.
Key Features
- Adjustable 2m Length: The ability to shorten or lengthen the lanyard allows for precise positioning, ensuring you are never closer to an edge than safety dictates.
- High-Strength Webbing: The material is engineered to resist abrasion and tension, providing a dependable link between the worker and their anchor point.
- Unisex Design: A versatile fit that integrates seamlessly with any standard safety harness, making it suitable for all members of the team.
Design & Performance
Portwest has prioritised structural integrity in the design of this lanyard. The webbing is a substantial, sturdy material that feels robust to the touch, offering reassurance when working in precarious positions. The adjustment mechanism is smooth yet secure, allowing for quick changes without compromising the lock. Its performance is rooted in its simplicity; it is a straightforward, reliable tool that does exactly what is required without unnecessary complication.
Why No Customisation?
This item is sold as-is, without customisation. As a piece of critical Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), the structural integrity of the webbing must remain uncompromised. Adding embroidery or heat-applied prints could potentially weaken the synthetic fibres or obscure visual inspections for wear and tear. Our priority is your safety, ensuring the equipment performs exactly as the manufacturer intended.
Use Cases
This lanyard is intended for individuals working on rooftops, scaffolding, or elevated platforms. It is the ideal choice for maintenance engineers and construction workers who require a restraint system to prevent them from reaching a ledge or opening.

Practical Advice
Always adjust the lanyard to the shortest length possible for your task to minimise any potential movement toward a hazard. When layering with winter jackets or high-visibility waistcoats, ensure your harness is fitted over your clothing correctly before attaching the lanyard to maintain a full range of movement.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and safety of your lanyard, it is essential to keep the webbing clean. This ensures that any signs of fraying or damage are clearly visible during your mandatory pre-use inspections.
Store the lanyard in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight when not in use. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can eventually degrade the synthetic materials, which may reduce the overall strength and lifespan of the equipment.
Keep the lanyard away from sharp edges and corrosive chemicals. Contact with such elements can cause internal damage to the fibres that may not be immediately apparent, potentially compromising the equipment's ability to hold weight under tension.
