Petzl ABSORBICA-Y

Description

It has several installation options on the harness and can be used with different types of connectors. It is available in two lengths: 80 or 150 cm versions (without connectors). The 150 cm version has elasticized arms, to avoid hindering progression. Depending on the connectors used, the ABSORBICA-Y is certified to American, European, and Russian standards.

• Designed for progression on a vertical structure or horizontal lifeline, and when passing intermediate anchors
• 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 130 kg
  - progressive tearing reduces the deceleration on lightweight users
• Minimal bulk:
  - compact energy absorber facilitates handling
  - FLEX version with 150 cm of elasticized webbing 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: with a carabiner held in correct position by the STRING positioning accessory (included with the lanyard)
  - semi-permanent connection: using either a RING OPEN gated ring whose circular shape ensures optimal positioning, or a SWIVEL OPEN to avoid tangling
• Two options for connectors at end of lanyard: carabiners, or large-opening MGO OPEN connectors
• Available in two lengths: 80 and 150 cm
