How to Use Your ABSORBICA Y TIE-BACK Fall-Arrest Lanyard

The ABSORBICA Y TIE-BACK double lanyard with integrated intermediate tie-back rings and energy absorber is designed for specific uses. Watch this short video to learn how to properly use it.

The ABSORBICA®-Y TIE-BACK is a double lanyard with integrated intermediate tie-back rings and compact energy absorber. It is designed for vertical progression on very large structures and when passing intermediate anchor points. It functions with users weighing between 50 and 140 kg. The TIE-BACK system allows the lanyard ends to be reconnected to fit around structures with a very large cross section. The arms are elasticized to avoid hindering progression. It is available with or without connectors and is certified to American, European, and Russian standards.
