• progression lanyards for difficult access
• lanyards with energy absorber for the ASAP mobile fall arrester
• helivac lanyards
• positioning lanyards for tree care

Sewn terminations

Plastic sheaths and STRING

Sewn terminations on rope lanyards give
an increase in strength (compared to a
knotted termination) while reducing bulk.

Plastic sheaths and STRINGs hold the connectors in place. They also protect the
ends of the lanyards from abrasion.
