Product Overview
The FP51RBR Double Webbing Lanyard is a fundamental component for any fall arrest system, engineered to provide safety and mobility for professionals working at height. Spanning a total length of 180cm including its connectors, this double-ended lanyard allows for a continuous connection to an anchor point. By alternating between the two legs while moving, the user ensures they are never detached from a safety line. This is a substantial and dependable piece of safety equipment, manufactured with the rigours of industrial environments in mind.
Key Features
- Double-ended configuration: This design allows for '100% tie-off,' enabling the user to remain securely attached to a structure while moving between anchor points.
- Integrated shock absorber: In the event of a fall, this component deploys to dissipate kinetic energy, significantly reducing the impact forces transmitted to the user's body.
- Heat-treated alloy steel hooks: These robust connectors offer high tensile strength and secure latching, providing confidence when working in high-risk areas.
- High-quality polyester webbing: Chosen for its durability and resistance to abrasion, the webbing ensures the lanyard can withstand the daily wear of a construction or maintenance site.
- Aluminium carabiner: The inclusion of a sturdy carabiner allows for a quick and reliable connection to the rear D-ring of a safety harness.
Design & Performance
The performance of the FP51RBR is rooted in its high-grade material composition. The primary structure is crafted from polyester webbing, which provides excellent strength-to-weight performance; while the item feels sturdy and substantial, it does not impede movement. The metal hardware is comprised of heat-treated alloy steel and aluminium, materials selected for their balance of weight and structural integrity. A PVC covering is utilised to protect sensitive components, ensuring that the lanyard remains functional even when exposed to the elements. The 180cm length is carefully calculated to offer a practical working radius while maintaining effective fall arrest capabilities.
Why No Customisation?
As this lanyard is a critical item of fall protection Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), we do not offer customisation services such as printing or embroidery. Any modification to the webbing—whether through the heat of a print press or the needle penetrations of embroidery—could compromise the structural integrity of the fibres or interfere with the deployment of the shock absorber. To ensure your safety and compliance with health and safety regulations, this product is sold only in its original, manufacturer-certified state.
Use Cases
This lanyard is intended for use by tradespeople in the construction, scaffolding, and roofing sectors, as well as for telecommunications engineers and maintenance personnel. It is specifically suited for work on towers, ladders, or any structure where the user needs to move horizontally or vertically while remaining safely tethered.

We understand that when you are working at height, you need equipment that is reliable and built to a professional standard. Our heritage is built on providing exactly that: equipment you can trust to do its job so you can focus on yours.
Practical Advice
It is essential to perform a pre-use inspection of the lanyard before every shift. Look for signs of fraying, cuts, or chemical staining on the polyester webbing and ensure that the gate mechanisms on the hooks and carabiner operate smoothly. Always ensure your fall clearance calculation includes the length of the lanyard and the potential extension of the shock absorber to prevent contact with the ground or lower obstacles.
Caring for your product
To ensure the continued performance of your safety lanyard, it must be kept clean and stored correctly. If the webbing becomes dirty, it should be wiped down with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Never use harsh chemical cleaners or bleach, as these can weaken the synthetic polyester fibres and compromise the safety of the device.
Always allow the lanyard to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated space, away from direct heat sources or sunlight which can cause UV degradation. When not in use, store it in a cool, dry place to prevent the metal components from corroding and the webbing from developing mould. Under no circumstances should the webbing be ironed, as the heat will damage the synthetic structure and render the lanyard unsafe for use.
