Product Overview
The Double Kernmantle 1.8m Lanyard With Shock Absorber is an essential component for any professional working at height. This lanyard integrates a scaffold hook and a carabiner, offering a complete and dependable system for those navigating structures where fall arrest is a critical safety requirement. At a total length of 180cm including connectors, it provides a practical radius of movement while ensuring the user remains safely tethered to a secure anchor point.
Key Features
- Double Kernmantle Rope: The kernmantle construction offers superior durability and strength, ensuring the rope can withstand the demanding conditions of industrial environments without fraying or losing integrity.
- Integrated Shock Absorber: This critical safety feature is designed to dissipate the energy of a fall, significantly reducing the impact force on the body and preventing serious injury.
- Heat-Treated Alloy Steel Scaffold Hook: The large-gate hook allows for easy and secure attachment to scaffolding and other large diameter anchor points, providing a sturdy connection you can trust.
- Aluminium Carabiner: This connector provides a lightweight yet incredibly strong link to the user's harness, ensuring the safety circuit remains closed and secure.
Design & Performance
This is a substantial piece of equipment, designed for performance when the stakes are at their highest. The lanyard is constructed from high-tenacity polyester rope, which provides excellent resistance to environmental factors and abrasion. The use of heat-treated alloy steel for the scaffold hook ensures maximum strength, while the aluminium and PVC components are chosen for their reliability and resistance to corrosion. Every element of the design is focused on providing a fail-safe performance within a fall arrest system.
Why No Customisation?
As this item is life-critical Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), we do not offer customisation services. Applying embroidery or heat-applied prints can damage the synthetic fibres of the rope or the casing of the shock absorber, potentially compromising the structural integrity and safety performance of the unit. To ensure your safety and compliance with rigorous height safety standards, this product is supplied exclusively in its original, tested form.
Use Cases
This lanyard is designed for professionals in the construction, scaffolding, and maintenance industries. It is particularly suited for workers who require a wide-opening hook for frequent repositioning on steel structures or scaffolding, providing a reliable fall arrest solution for anyone operating at significant heights.

Practical Advice
Always perform a pre-use inspection of your lanyard to check for any signs of wear, cuts, or chemical damage to the rope. Ensure the mechanical gates of the carabiner and scaffold hook operate smoothly and lock securely. Remember to calculate your fall clearance height accurately, accounting for the 1.8m length of the lanyard and the additional extension of the shock absorber when deployed.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your fall protection equipment is essential for ensuring it performs correctly in the event of an emergency. We recommend keeping the lanyard clean and free from oils, grit, and chemicals that could degrade the polyester fibres. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and a mild soap is recommended; avoid the use of harsh detergents or bleach, as these can chemically weaken the material and compromise its strength.
Always allow the lanyard to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat sources such as radiators. Exposure to high heat can cause the synthetic fibres to shrink or become brittle, which would render the shock absorber ineffective.
Store your lanyard in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Ultraviolet radiation can gradually degrade the rope over time, so proper storage is vital for extending the product's lifespan. Finally, ensure the lanyard is inspected by a competent person at least every six months as part of your statutory safety checks.
