Flextra 140 D Y 85/1 Elastic Double Leg Shock Absorbing Lanyard
Flextra 140 D Y 85/1 Elastic Double Leg Shock Absorbing Lanyard is specially developed 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, lattice towers, wide pipeline systems, scaffolding, and industrial facilities. Thanks to its dynamic elastic internal webbing structure, it automatically contracts and retracts when not under tension, preventing it from tangling around the user’s feet, sagging, and snagging on surrounding obstacles; thus providing superior 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 innovative structure, it is much lighter, more compact, and lower profile compared to conventional bulky shock absorbers. In the event of a possible fall, it tears open progressively and in a controlled manner, absorbing the impact force acting on the user’s body to reduce it below the 6 kN limit. High-strength bonded-type contrasting stitching threads make visual inspection and periodic check processes extremely fast and reliable. The labeling system housed inside a transparent protective sheath ensures that the serial number, year of manufacture, and periodic inspection tracking records remain protected without fading, even in the harshest field conditions.
In the Flextra 140 D Y 85/1 model, a high-strength steel oval carabiner with 3-action automatic locking (OKS-14 T) is used on the shock absorber side, and double-action forged steel scaffold hooks with an 85 mm gate opening (DSS-85) are used at the ends of the lanyard legs to provide easy anchoring to extra-wide steel profiles and pipes. Offering superior performance in extreme operating temperatures between -30°C and +70°C, the product is shipped in its own dedicated protective 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 tested and 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.
- Extra Wide Steel Hook: Thanks to the double-action steel scaffold hooks with an 85 mm gate opening (DSS-85) at the lanyard ends, it provides easy connection to thick profiles and wide pipes.
- 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).
