Product Overview
The Work Positioning 2m Lanyard with Grip Adjuster is a fundamental component for professionals who require stability and security while working at elevated heights. This lanyard is not merely a piece of rope; it is a precision-engineered tool designed to support the user, allowing for a hands-free working position that is both safe and comfortable. By utilising a kernmantle construction, this lanyard offers an optimal balance of high tensile strength and the flexibility needed to navigate complex structures without hindrance.
Key Features
Two-metre kernmantle rope: This specific rope construction provides a high level of abrasion resistance and durability, ensuring a long service life even in abrasive industrial environments.
Snap hook attachment: Designed for efficiency, the snap hook allows for a quick and secure connection to anchor points, reducing downtime when repositioning on-site.
Adjustable rope grab: This manual grip adjuster allows for smooth, one-handed transitions, enabling the user to fine-tune their distance from the work surface with minimal effort.
Heat-treated steel alloy components: The hardware is manufactured from high-grade steel that has been heat-treated for enhanced strength, ensuring that the mechanical elements can withstand significant stress without failure.
Design & Performance
The design of this lanyard focuses on the practical needs of the tradesperson. The use of kernmantle rope—consisting of a twisted core protected by a woven outer sheath—is a deliberate choice for its superior weight-to-strength ratio and its resistance to kinking. In terms of performance, the grip adjuster is intuitive to use, allowing for precise control over the lanyard's length. This is particularly beneficial when working on vertical or inclined surfaces where maintaining a stable centre of gravity is essential for safety and reducing fatigue. The substantial feel of the heat-treated steel components provides immediate reassurance of the lanyard's robust build quality.
Why No Customisation?
As a critical piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed for fall protection, this lanyard is sold exactly as manufactured. Applying any form of customisation, such as embroidery or heat-applied transfers, could potentially damage the integrity of the kernmantle fibres or interfere with the mechanical operation of the grip adjuster. To ensure your safety and compliance with EN 358:2018 standards, this item must remain in its original, unmodified state. We prioritise your safety over branding when it comes to life-critical equipment.
Use Cases
This lanyard is specifically intended for work positioning and should be used by professionals such as telecommunications engineers, power line technicians, and industrial maintenance crews. It is designed to hold the user in tension at a work station, preventing a fall from occurring. It is important to remember that this is a positioning device and should always be used in conjunction with a separate, compatible fall arrest system for comprehensive protection.

Practical Advice
Before use, always ensure that the lanyard is compatible with your harness and anchor points. While the two-metre length provides versatility, it is vital to ensure the rope is adjusted correctly to keep you in a secure position with minimal slack. We recommend a thorough visual inspection of the rope for any fraying or signs of chemical damage, and a functional check of the snap hook and grip adjuster to ensure they operate smoothly before every shift.
Caring for your product
To maintain the safety and longevity of your work positioning lanyard, regular care is essential. We recommend cleaning the rope with a mild soap and warm water solution if it becomes contaminated with dirt or grit. Allowing dirt to build up within the fibres can cause internal abrasion, which may lead to a reduction in the rope's breaking strength over time.
Never use bleach or harsh chemical cleaners on this product, as these can cause invisible damage to the synthetic fibres of the kernmantle rope and degrade the protective finishes on the steel hardware. If the lanyard becomes wet, it should be hung to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources. Excessive heat can cause the synthetic materials to shrink or become brittle, compromising the lanyard's flexibility and safety.
Storage is equally important; keep the lanyard in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight when not in use. Long-term exposure to UV radiation can weaken the rope fibres. By following these simple maintenance steps, you ensure that your equipment remains dependable and ready for service.
