Flextra 140 D I 53/1 Elastic Single Leg Shock Absorbing Lanyard
Flextra 140 D I 53/1 Elastic Single Leg Shock Absorbing Lanyard is specially designed to safely arrest potential falls of personnel during fixed-point working at height operations on platforms, scaffolding, vertical and horizontal lifelines, and industrial facilities. Thanks to its dynamic elastic internal webbing structure, it automatically retracts and contracts when not under tension, preventing it from tangling around the user’s feet, sagging, and snagging on surrounding obstacles; providing uninterrupted freedom of movement and working comfort in the field.
The shock absorber pack of the product is manufactured with high-strength, 20 mm wide Dyneema® (UHMWPE) tear-webbing technology. Thanks to this advanced technology, it is much more compact, lightweight, and lower profile compared to conventional bulky shock absorbers. In the event of a possible fall, it tears open progressively to absorb the impact force, reducing the load acting on the user’s body below the 6 kN limit. High-strength bonded-type contrasting stitching threads ensure visual inspections and periodic check processes are extremely fast and reliable. The labeling system housed inside a transparent protective sheath ensures that the serial number, year of manufacture, and periodic inspection data remain protected without fading, even in harsh field conditions.
In the Flextra 140 D I 53/1 model, a high-strength steel oval carabiner with 3-action automatic locking (OKS-14 T) is used on the shock absorber side, and a double-action steel scaffold hook with a 51 mm gate opening (DSS-53) is featured at the end of the lanyard leg. Safely operated in extreme operating temperatures between -30°C and +70°C, the product offers a lightweight advantage at only 0.950 kg and is shipped in its own dedicated carrying bag.
