Portwest Single 1.5m Restraint Lanyard

Product Overview

The Single 1.5m Restraint Lanyard is a fundamental component of any height safety system, specifically engineered to restrict a worker's movement to prevent them from reaching a fall hazard. At a fixed length of 150cm, this lanyard offers a practical solution for those working in environments where fall prevention is the primary safety objective.

Key Features

• Durable Polyester Rope: The main body of the lanyard is constructed from high-quality polyester, providing the necessary strength and resistance to abrasion required for daily use on-site.
• Heat-Treated Alloy Steel Scaffold Hook: This substantial hook allows for secure attachment to scaffolding and other large-diameter anchor points, with the heat-treatment process ensuring long-term structural integrity.
• Aluminium Carabiner: The inclusion of an aluminium carabiner provides a lightweight yet secure connection point for the user's harness, reducing the overall burden of the equipment.
• 150cm Fixed Length: This specific length is designed to keep the user within a safe working radius, effectively eliminating the risk of a fall occurring.

Design & Performance

Performance in height safety is defined by reliability and material strength. This lanyard utilizes a sturdy polyester rope that maintains its flexibility while providing a high level of durability. The hardware is equally impressive; the alloy steel used in the scaffold hook is heat-treated to enhance its load-bearing capabilities and resistance to wear. The overall design prioritises ease of use, ensuring that the carabiner and hook mechanisms operate smoothly even in challenging outdoor conditions.

Why No Customisation?

As this is a critical piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for fall prevention, we do not offer any form of customisation. Adding print, embroidery, or heat-seals could potentially damage the synthetic fibres of the polyester rope or obscure vital safety certifications and inspection labels. In the interest of your safety and compliance, this item is sold strictly as-is.

Use Cases

This restraint lanyard is intended for use by construction professionals, scaffolders, and maintenance crews who need to work near edges or on elevated platforms. It is designed for restraint purposes only—keeping you away from the edge—rather than for fall arrest, where energy-absorbing properties would be required.

Practical Advice

Always ensure that the anchor point you are attaching to is rated for the task. We recommend that users are fully trained in the use of height safety equipment before operating this lanyard. When moving between points, always ensure the carabiner is fully closed and locked before proceeding with your work.

Caring for your product

To ensure the continued performance of your lanyard, it is essential to keep the polyester rope free from dirt, oil, and chemicals. Contaminants can cause the fibres to degrade prematurely, which may not be visible to the naked eye but can significantly reduce the lanyard's strength.

We recommend storing the lanyard in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight. UV exposure can weaken synthetic materials over time, and a damp environment can lead to corrosion of the metal hooks and carabiners, potentially compromising the safety mechanisms.
