Flextra 140 D Y 53/1 Elastic Double Leg Shock Absorbing Lanyard
Flextra 140 D Y 53/1 Elastic Double Leg Shock Absorbing Lanyard is specially designed to keep personnel 100% continuously secured (double leg Y principle) without disconnecting anchor ties when transitioning from one point to another during working at height activities on steel structures, scaffolding, towers, and industrial plants. Thanks to its elastic internal structure, it retracts when not under tension, preventing it from tangling around the personnel’s feet and snagging on surrounding obstacles, offering maximum freedom of movement and working comfort.
The shock absorber pack of the product is manufactured with high-strength, 20 mm wide Dyneema® (UHMWPE) tear webbing technology. In this way, it is much more compact, lightweight, and low-volume compared to conventional shock absorbers. In the event of a possible fall, it tears open progressively, reducing the impact force acting on the user’s body to below 6 kN. Thanks to high-strength bonded-type contrasting stitching threads, visual inspection processes are extremely practical. The labeling system housed inside a transparent protective sheath ensures that the serial number, production date, and periodic inspection records remain protected without fading, even in harsh field conditions.
The Flextra 140 D Y 53/1 model features an oval steel carabiner with 3-action automatic locking (OKS-14 T) on the shock absorber side, and double-action steel scaffold hooks (DSS-53) with a 51 mm gate opening at the ends of the lanyard legs. Operating reliably in extreme operating temperatures between -30°C and +70°C, the product is shipped in its own dedicated carrying bag.
Technical Specifications
- Elastic Leg Design: Thanks to its dynamic elastic structure, it contracts when not under tension to prevent snagging risks and increase personnel freedom of movement.
- Continuous Safety (Y-Type): The double leg mechanism ensures personnel remain continuously connected (100% tie-off) during transitions between anchorage points.
- 140 kg Load Capacity: Beyond standard limits, it is approved for a total weight of up to 140 kg, including the user and their equipment load.
- Dyneema® Shock Absorber: The 20 mm high-strength tear webbing shock absorber dissipates the fall impact force to safe levels, providing a lightweight and compact design.
- Safe Clearance Distance: For anchor connections at foot level, the safe clearance height must be calculated as at least 6.30 meters.
- Contrast Stitching Technology: Thanks to high-strength bonded-type contrasting stitching threads, any stitch wear or deformation is quickly identified visually.
- Protective Label Sheath: Serial number and periodic inspection tracking information are safeguarded within a wear- and environmental-resistant protective cover.
- Operating Temperature: Fully resistant to harsh climate and field conditions between -30°C and +70°C.
- Standards and Certification: Certified to EN 355:2002, EN 362, and PPE-R 11.062 (EU 2016/425 PPE Regulation).
