Product Overview
The FP75K1R Double 1.8m Lanyard is a critical component for any fall arrest system, designed specifically for professionals who require continuous attachment while navigating structures at height. This substantial piece of safety equipment features a twin-leg design, allowing the user to remain safely anchored by one leg while moving the second to a new point. Engineered for performance and reliability, it is tested to support a user weight of up to 140kg, including tools and equipment, providing a higher capacity than standard fall protection alternatives.
Key Features
- Double-Ended Configuration: The twin-leg design ensures 100% tie-off, allowing you to move between anchor points without ever being disconnected from your safety system.
- Integrated Shock Absorber: This essential safety feature is designed to deploy during a fall, absorbing the kinetic energy and reducing the impact forces exerted on the body to safe levels.
- High-Capacity Rating: Tested to withstand a 140kg user, this lanyard offers peace of mind for tradespeople carrying heavy tool belts or specialized equipment.
- Versatile Hardware: Equipped with both a scaffold hook and a snap hook, providing secure and flexible connection options to a variety of anchorage points and harnesses.
Design & Performance
Constructed from high-tenacity polyester webbing, this lanyard is built to withstand the rigours of the modern construction site. Polyester is favoured for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and its natural resistance to abrasion and environmental degradation. The metal components are equally impressive; the alloy steel hooks have undergone heat treatment to enhance their structural durability, while zinc plating provides a layer of protection against corrosion, ensuring the moving parts of the hooks operate smoothly even in damp conditions.
When fully extended, the lanyard reaches a length of 180cm, offering a practical working radius that balances freedom of movement with the necessity of limiting potential fall distances. The high-visibility orange accents within the black webbing also aid in quick visual inspections and site safety compliance.
Why No Customisation?
As this lanyard is a safety-critical item of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), we do not offer customisation through embroidery or printing. Any modification to the load-bearing webbing could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the polyester fibres or obscure vital safety labels and inspection markers. In the interest of absolute user safety, this item must remain in its original, manufacturer-certified state.
Use Cases
This lanyard is an essential requirement for scaffolders, steel erectors, and telecommunications engineers. It is specifically designed for use in environments where the user must move horizontally or vertically along a structure, such as when climbing ladders or moving across scaffolding, where a '100% tie-off' safety policy is in effect.
Why MyWorkwear
Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been a trusted partner to the UK workforce.

We understand that when it comes to height safety, there is no room for error, which is why we provide products that meet exacting professional standards.
Practical Advice
We recommend conducting a thorough visual and tactile inspection of the lanyard before every shift. Look for signs of fraying, cuts, or chemical contamination on the webbing, and ensure the gates on both the scaffold and snap hooks lock automatically and securely. Always ensure your harness is compatible and that your chosen anchor point is capable of sustaining the loads generated by a fall.
Caring for your product
Proper maintenance of your safety lanyard is vital to ensure it performs correctly when it is needed most. Keeping the webbing clean is not merely an aesthetic choice; dirt, grit, and grease can work their way into the fibres and act as internal abrasives, gradually weakening the material. If the lanyard becomes soiled, it should be cleaned according to the manufacturer's guidelines using mild soap and water.
Storage is equally important for longevity. When not in use, store the lanyard in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light can cause the synthetic fibres to become brittle over time, which may lead to the equipment failing a safety inspection. Always keep the lanyard away from sharp tools or corrosive chemicals during transport and storage.
