Types of Lanyards & Connectors

Limit Fall Arrest Forces to Protect Workers

Shock-Absorbing Lanyards

Shock-absorbing lanyards connect a full body harness to an anchor point while reducing the forces transmitted during fall arrest. Internal shock absorbers limit arresting forces, protecting workers from serious injuries. Available in single-leg and double-leg configurations, with stretch designs that minimize tripping hazards in the work area. Connector options include steel snap hooks and rebar hooks.

Built With Your Team In Mind

ANSI Z359.13 Compliant

All shock-absorbing lanyards meet ANSI Z359.13 requirements for shock absorbers, limiting average arresting force to 900 lbs. or less during fall arrest.

5,000 lb. Connector Strength

Carabiners and snap hooks are rated to 5,000 lbs. tensile strength with 3,600 lb. gate ratings, meeting ANSI Z359.12 requirements for connectors.

130-310 lb. Worker Capacity

All lanyards and connectors support workers from 130-310 lbs. including tools and clothing, covering the full range of construction crews.

One-Hand Operation

Self-locking carabiners and snap hooks open with one hand for quick attachment, keeping the other hand free for climbing or holding position.

Stretch Lanyard Design

Stretch lanyards reduce from 6' to 4.5' when at rest, minimizing tripping hazards and keeping lanyard slack out of the work area.

High Visibility Orange

Bright orange polyester webbing makes lanyards visible across the job site, helping safety professionals monitor crew connections at a glance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not seeing what you're looking for?

What is the difference between single-leg and double-leg lanyards?

Single-leg lanyards connect a worker to one anchor point at a time. Double leg lanyards have two legs so workers can maintain 100% tie-off when moving between anchor points, one leg stays connected while the other moves to the next anchor. Double leg lanyards are required when continuous fall protection is needed during transitions.

When should I use a vertical lifeline assembly?

Vertical lifeline assemblies are used when workers climb ladders, scaffolds, or other vertical structures where a fixed-length lanyard would restrict movement. The rope grab allows continuous vertical travel while providing instant fall arrest if a fall occurs. Use vertical lifelines when fall hazards exist during climbing.

How does a shock-absorbing lanyard work?

Shock-absorbing lanyards contain an internal shock absorber that deploys during fall arrest to limit forces on the worker's body. Malta Dynamics lanyards limit average arresting force to 900 lbs. or less, well below the OSHA maximum of 1,800 lbs. for a personal fall arrest system. The shock pack tears in a controlled manner to absorb energy.

What carabiner gate strength do I need?

OSHA and ANSI require connectors to have a minimum gate strength of 3,600 lbs. in all directions. Malta Dynamics carabiners meet this requirement with gates rated to 3,600 lbs. and overall tensile strength of 5,000 lbs. This ensures the connector remains secure even if loaded at an angle.

Can lanyards be used for restraint applications?

Adjustable restraint lanyards are designed specifically for fall restraint where the lanyard prevents the worker from reaching a fall hazard rather than arresting a fall. Standard shock-absorbing lanyards are designed for fall arrest. Check product specifications to confirm the lanyard is rated for your intended application.
