Main Benefits

Efficient energy absorption: Designed to cushion the impact generated in case of a fall, limiting the braking capacity to 6 kN.

Application in rigid lifeline systems: Developed specifically for the assembly of rigid lifeline systems with fall arresters for steel cable.

Single-user system: Absorption component sized for use by one user on the lifeline.

High-strength tape: Made with 45 mm polyester tape, offering strength and performance suitable for professional applications.

Reinforced eyelets: Features eyelets with reinforced bends, contributing to the structural strength of the connection points.

Controlled expansion: Measuring only 280 mm when closed, the shock absorber can reach up to 1.40 m after activation, progressively dissipating the energy generated during fall arrest.
