Product Overview
The Single 1.8m Lanyard With Shock Absorber is a critical safety component designed for professionals working at height. This lanyard integrates a 120cm rope with a tear-open energy absorber to provide a total length of 180cm, ensuring a controlled deceleration in the event of a fall. It comes equipped with both a snap hook and a scaffold hook, offering versatile and secure attachment options for various structural environments.
Key Features
- Tear-open energy absorber: This feature is designed to dissipate the forces of a fall, significantly reducing the impact on the user's body.
- Large scaffold hook: Provides a wide opening for secure attachment to scaffolding and other large-diameter anchor points.
- Snap hook: Offers a quick and reliable connection to the user's harness D-ring.
- High-strength polyester rope: Ensures the main body of the lanyard is durable and resistant to abrasion.
Design & Performance
Constructed using high-quality materials, this lanyard is built for reliability in demanding conditions. The rope is made from resilient polyester, known for its strength and resistance to environmental wear. The hardware is equally robust, featuring heat-treated alloy steel and aluminium components to ensure security without unnecessary bulk. The substantial, sturdy construction of the lanyard provides confidence to the user while maintaining the necessary flexibility for movement on-site.
Why No Customisation?
As this lanyard is a piece of life-critical Fall Protection Equipment (PPE), we do not offer customisation services such as printing or embroidery. Any alteration to the structural integrity of the rope or the addition of foreign materials could compromise the safety certification and the performance of the shock-absorbing mechanism. Maintaining the item in its original, factory-certified state is essential for ensuring it functions correctly when it is needed most.
Use Cases
This lanyard is intended for use in fall arrest systems across several sectors, including construction, scaffolding, and industrial maintenance. It is specifically designed for workers who require a reliable connection between their harness and an anchor point while working on elevated platforms or structures where a fall risk is present.

Practical Advice
Before every use, we recommend a thorough visual inspection of the rope for signs of fraying or cuts, and a functional check of the hooks to ensure they open and close smoothly. Always ensure the lanyard length is appropriate for your specific working height and that there is sufficient fall clearance below the work area.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your safety lanyard, it should be kept clean and stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and chemicals. If the lanyard becomes soiled, it should be cleaned using a damp cloth and mild soap. We recommend avoiding harsh detergents or solvents, as these can degrade the synthetic fibres of the polyester rope and weaken the assembly.
Ensure the metal components are kept free from grit and moisture to prevent corrosion. If the lanyard gets wet, allow it to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources. Never use a tumble dryer or heater, as excessive heat can damage the energy absorber and the integrity of the rope fibres.
