Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the fork in eye-to-swivel-fork lanyards?
The swivel fork allows these lanyards to rotate freely.
Confirm that the label has an individual serial number & check the condition of the rear D-ring. Hold the harness up by the shoulder straps and ensure that the webbing hangs evenly.
What attachments are compatible with industrial lanyards?
Attachments compatible with lanyards include carabiners, hooks, balls with shanks, loops, reinforced loops, swivel forks, threaded studs, 90-degree eyes, clip-ons and tabs.
What are pack-style lanyards?
- These lanyards are easy to use in comparison to other lanyards.
- The pack attached to the lanyard has a specially woven inner core that expands in case of a fall.
- The core also includes a heavy-duty backup strap for added safety.
How do shock-absorbing lanyards work?
- Shock-absorbing lanyards reduce the amount of force needed to stop a fall to less than 1349 lb.
- When the maximum force is reached, they deploy a second length of stretch webbing to continue the task. This reduces the fall's velocity and the force of impact.
When to use a single or double lanyard?
- A single lanyard might be a better choice if the work posture is often static and only one attachment point is required to maintain safety.
- Double lanyards are beneficial where moving horizontally or vertically at heights is required.
