PETZL ABSORBICA®-Y TIE-BACK

Description

ABSORBICA®-Y TIE-BACK – Designed for progression on a vertical structure and when passing intermediate anchors

TIE-BACK intermediate tie-back rings on the lanyard allow the user to wrap structures with very large cross sections; in a rescue situation, these rings are also easily accessible for the rescuer, even when the person is suspended on the lanyard after a fall

Absorbs energy in the event of a fall:
– Progressive tearing of the energy absorber webbing limits the impact force on the user
– Works with users who weigh between 60 and 140 kg (1)

Designed for use with a maximum length (including connectors) of:
– 200 cm under the CE EN 355 standard
– 183 cm (6 feet) under the ANSI Z359.13

Minimal bulk:
– Energy absorber’s very compact design doesn’t hinder the user during progression
– Elasticized arms to avoid hindering progression

Durable fabric pouch with a simple opening system 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: using either a carabiner held in correct position by the STRING positioning accessory (included with the lanyard), or a MICRO SWIVEL to avoid tangling
– Semi-permanent connection: using either a RING OPEN gated ring whose circular shape allows optimal positioning, or a SWIVEL OPEN to avoid tangling

(1) Under the CSA Z259.11-17 standard, the user must weigh between 75 and 140 kg.
