Protecta 6 ft Single Lanyard with Energy Absorber 7100232060

Protecta® Lanyard for Reliable Standard Protection

3M Reference: 7100232060

For tasks requiring frequent movement across structures, we also offer the Y-model (FPL1340180C), which, unlike this single lanyard, allows for continuous connection thanks to its double-arm design.

In the field of construction and industrial maintenance in Canada, fall prevention is an absolute priority. This 6-foot single lanyard provides a secure connection to a fixed anchorage point. The integrated energy absorber is designed to limit fall arrest forces to safe levels (below 6 kN), thereby reducing the risk of serious injury. The Protecta® range combines durability and economy, offering a reliable solution that meets the strictest safety standards.

Choosing this lanyard means investing in professional-grade equipment that makes no compromises on safety. Its robust polyester webbing resists abrasion and harsh work environments.

Whether you are working on a stable platform or a single anchor point, this lanyard is an essential tool to guarantee your safety.

Important Note: This product does not allow for a continuous connection during movement (you must detach to change anchor points). In the event of a fall, the absorber deploys to limit the arrest forces on the body.

We offer a complete range of equipment tailored to various work environments:

1. Fall protection safety harnesses.
2. Lanyards.
3. Lifelines & self-retracting straps.
4. Vertical ropes and sliding fall arresters.
5. Connectors and anchor systems.
6. Roofer kits.
7. Tripods and lifelines for confined spaces.
8. Horizontal lifelines.
9. Fall protection accessories.

Product Features: A Robust Design for Work at Height

This Protecta® lanyard stands out for its ease of use and durability. Key features include:

• Single Configuration: One leg for a direct and efficient connection.
• External Energy Absorber: A controlled tearing device that dissipates kinetic energy during a fall.
• Heavy-Duty Snap Hooks: Provide a secure connection to approved anchorage points.
• 1-inch polyester webbing: High-strength material offering excellent longevity against weather and wear.
• Fall Indicator: Allows for a quick visual inspection to determine if the lanyard has sustained an impact and must be removed from service.

How to Install and Use Your Single Lanyard

For optimal safety, connect the end equipped with the energy absorber to the dorsal attachment point (D-ring) of your safety harness. Attach the other end to an approved anchorage point. Ensure the snap hooks are properly locked. Unlike the Y-model, you must be on the ground or in a secure zone before disconnecting this lanyard to change attachment points.
