Product Overview
The FP74 Single Lanyard is a fundamental component for any professional operating at height. Measuring 180cm when fully extended, this piece of equipment is designed to bridge the gap between your harness and a secure anchor point. It features an integrated shock absorber, a wide-opening scaffold hook, and a secure snap hook, providing a robust solution for fall arrest scenarios. Engineered to support a user weight of up to 140kg, it offers a higher capacity than many standard alternatives, ensuring that even fully equipped tradespeople are safely accounted for.
Key Features
- 140kg User Capacity: Unlike standard lanyards, this model is tested for a higher weight limit, providing essential security for workers carrying heavy tools or equipment.
- Integrated Shock Absorber: In the event of a fall, the shock absorber deploys to dissipate kinetic energy, significantly reducing the impact force on the body and the anchor point.
- Scaffold and Snap Hooks: The inclusion of a large scaffold hook allows for easy connection to wider structures, while the snap hook ensures a quick and secure attachment to the harness.
- 1.8m Length: The generous length provides a practical working radius, allowing for movement and flexibility without compromising on safety protocols.
Design & Performance
Constructed from high-tenacity polyester webbing, this lanyard is built to withstand the rigours of a busy site. Polyester is chosen for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and its resistance to abrasion and UV degradation. The hardware is equally impressive, featuring heat-treated alloy steel and zinc components. These materials ensure that the moving parts of the hooks operate smoothly even in challenging weather conditions.
While the item is a substantial, sturdy lanyard, it remains manageable during a full shift. The black and orange colour scheme is not just for show; it provides high visibility against various backgrounds, making it easier for safety officers to verify that personnel are correctly tethered.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we take safety as seriously as you do. This lanyard is a critical piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and is certified to specific safety standards. Any form of customisation—such as embroidery or heat-transfer printing—could potentially damage the structural integrity of the polyester webbing or obscure important safety labels and certification markings. To ensure your equipment remains fully compliant and, more importantly, safe to use, we provide this item in its original, un-modified state.
Use Cases
This lanyard is specifically designed for fall arrest. It is an ideal choice for scaffolders, steel erectors, and construction workers who need a reliable connection to a fixed structure. It is also suitable for maintenance engineers and telecommunications technicians working on towers or elevated platforms where a secure anchor is required to prevent a ground strike.

Practical Advice
Before every use, perform a thorough tactile and visual inspection of the entire length of the webbing for any signs of fraying, cuts, or chemical damage. Ensure that the shock absorber remains sealed and has not been partially deployed. When pairing this lanyard with a harness, always ensure the connectors are fully closed and locked. Gravity is famously unforgiving, so double-checking your connections is time well spent.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of your height safety equipment is a matter of life and death. To clean the polyester webbing, use only a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid any harsh detergents or chemical solvents, as these can weaken the synthetic fibres and compromise the lanyard's load-bearing capacity.
Once cleaned, allow the lanyard to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Intense heat can cause the webbing to become brittle, while UV exposure can degrade the material over time. Store the lanyard in a cool, dry place, ideally hanging up to prevent kinks or unnecessary compression of the shock absorber pack.
