The Petzl Absorbica-Y Tie-Back is available with or without connectors and is certified to American, European, and Russian standards.
Features:
Designed for progression on a vertical structure and when passing intermediate anchors
TIE-BACK intermediate tie-back rings on the lanyard allow connection to very large structures, and 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 the event of a fall:
Tearing of the energy absorber webbing limits the impact force on the user
Works with users who weigh between 50 and 140 kg (1)
Progressive tearing reduces the deceleration on lightweight users
Minimal bulk:
Compact energy absorber facilitates handling
Elasticized arms to avoid hindering progression
Durable fabric pouch with opening system at each end, protects the energy absorber from abrasion or contaminants while allowing for regular inspection of the absorber
Two options for installation on the harness, depending on use:
Frequent connection/disconnection: using either a carabiner held in correct position by the STRING positioning accessory (included with the lanyard), or a MICRO SWIVEL to avoid tangling
Semi-permanent connection: using either a RING OPEN gated ring whose circular shape allows optimal positioning, or a SWIVEL OPEN to avoid tangling
Available with or without connectors (two large-opening MGO connectors for connecting to metal structures and a Bm’D carabiner with CAPTIV positioning bar for connecting to harness)
