Product Overview
The Double 1.8m Lanyard with Shock Absorber is a fundamental component for any professional working at height where continuous connection is a safety requirement. This twin-leg system features two 120cm ropes, providing a total reach of 180cm when including the scaffold hooks and snap hook. Designed for fall arrest, it allows the user to remain securely attached to an anchor point while transitioning to a second one, maintaining a constant safety link at all times.
Key Features
- Twin 120cm Ropes: The double-end design allows for 100% tie-off, meaning you are never unattached while moving across a structure.
- Tear-Open Energy Absorber: In the event of a fall, this integrated unit deploys to dissipate the kinetic energy, significantly reducing the impact forces on the body.
- Dual Scaffold Hooks: These large-gate connectors are designed for easy and secure attachment to scaffolding and other large-diameter anchor points.
- High-Strength Snap Hook: A reliable, secure connector provided for the primary attachment to the user's fall arrest harness.
Design & Performance
Engineered for durability in harsh environments, this lanyard utilizes high-quality polyester rope known for its resistance to abrasion and environmental wear. The hardware is crafted from a combination of aluminium and heat-treated alloy steel, ensuring that while the item is a substantial, sturdy piece of equipment, it remains manageable during long shifts. The inclusion of PVC components further protects the critical points of the assembly. With a total length of 180cm, it offers the necessary range of movement without excessive slack, ensuring peak performance within a fall arrest system.
Why No Customisation?
This product is a critical piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed for height safety. We do not offer customisation on this item as any addition, such as embroidery or heat-applied branding, could potentially damage the synthetic fibres of the rope or the integrity of the shock absorber. To ensure the product meets its safety certifications and protects the wearer effectively, it must remain in its original, manufactured state.
Use Cases
This lanyard is specifically designed for scaffolders, steel erectors, and construction workers who must move along elevated structures. It is the preferred choice for tasks that require moving between different anchorages while maintaining a safety connection at all times.

Practical Advice
Always ensure that your fall arrest harness is correctly fitted before attaching the lanyard. It is vital to calculate your fall clearance distance before starting work to ensure that the 1.8m length, plus the deployment length of the shock absorber, is safe for your specific working height.
Caring for your product
To ensure the continued performance of your safety equipment, it is essential to conduct a visual inspection before every use. Check for any signs of fraying, cuts, or chemical contamination on the polyester rope, as any damage can severely reduce its load-bearing capacity.
The lanyard should be stored in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can weaken synthetic fibres over time. If the equipment becomes dirty, clean it with a damp cloth and allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which could otherwise make the materials brittle.
