Absorbica-Y Flex (150cm), by Petzl, is a double lanyard with compact energy absorber, designed for progression on a vertical structure or on a horizontal lifeline, with intermediate anchor passing.
It works for users between 60 and 140 kg.
It allows several connection modes to the harness and can accommodate different types of connectors.
Main features
- Designed for progression on a vertical structure or on a horizontal lifeline, with passage through intermediate anchors.
- Absorbs energy in the event of a fall:
- progressive tearing of the energy absorber webbing, limiting the shock force sustained by the user,
- works with users weighing between 60 and 140 kg (1).
- Designed for use with a maximum length, connectors included, of:
- 200 cm under CE EN 355 standard,
- 183 cm (6 feet) under ANSI Z359.13 standard.
- Minimal bulk:
- very compact energy absorber design so as not to hinder the user during handling,
- elastic webbing arms to avoid impeding progression.
- Pouch made of durable fabric, with a simplified opening system, to protect the energy absorber from abrasion and debris, while allowing periodic inspection of the absorber.
- Two installation options on the harness depending on use:
- frequent connections/disconnections: with a carabiner held in the correct position by a String keeper accessory (supplied with the lanyard),
- semi-permanent connection: with a Ring Open gated ring whose circular shape ensures optimal positioning.
- Two connector options at the end of the lanyard: carabiner or MGO Open large-opening connector.
(1) Under CSA Z259.11-17 standard, user weight must be between 75 and 140 kg.
