Petzl Absorbica-Y Tie-Back

Double lanyard with integrated intermediate tie-back rings and compact energy absorber. Designed for continuous protection on very large structures and when passing intermediate anchor points. The TIE-BACK system allows the lanyard ends to be reconnected to fit around structures with a very large cross section. The arms are elasticated to avoid hindering progression. Equipped with a captive carabiner and two MGO large-opening connectors, it is certified to U.S., European and Russian standards.

Features:

  • Designed for continuous protection when passing intermediate anchor points
  • TIE-BACK intermediate tie-back rings on the lanyard allow connection to very large structures. In a rescue situation, these rings are easily accessible for the rescuer, even when the person is suspended on the lanyard after a fall
  • Absorbs energy in case of a fall:

- tearing of the energy absorber webbing limits the impact force on the user
- works with users who weigh between 50 and 130 kg
- progressive tearing reduces the deceleration on lightweight users

  • Minimal bulk:

- compact energy absorber facilitates handling
- elasticized arms to avoid hindering progression

  • Abrasion resistance:

- durable zippered fabric pouch protects the energy absorber from abrasion or contaminants while allowing for regular inspection of the absorber
- lanyard and pouch reduce the risk of cuts and potential severing over edges

  • Comes with a captive steel carabiner with TRIACT-LOCK auto-locking system for attachment to the harness, and two MGO large-opening connectors for connection to a metal structure
