ABSORBICA®-Y TIE-BACK

Double lanyard with integrated intermediate tie-back rings and energy absorber The ABSORBICA®-Y TIE-BACK is a double lanyard with integrated intermediate tie-back rings and compact energy absorber. It is designed for vertical progression on very large structures and when passing intermediate anchor points. It functions with users weighing between 50 and 140 kg. The TIE-BACK system allows the lanyard ends to be reconnected to fit around structures with a very large cross section. The arms are elasticized to avoid hindering progression. It is available with or without connectors and is certified to American, European, and Russian standards.

Advanced Energy Absorber for Vertical Structure Progression

Optimized for secure progression on vertical structures and during intermediate anchor transitions, this energy absorber incorporates innovative features to manage dynamic forces during a fall, enhancing safety for various industrial applications.

Unique Design Features

• TIE-BACK Rings: The lanyard includes intermediate tie-back rings that allow for connections to very large structures. These rings are easily accessible to rescuers in a rescue scenario, even when the person is suspended after a fall, ensuring quick and efficient response.
• Energy Absorption: The energy absorber's webbing tears upon impact to limit the force on users weighing between 50 and 140 kg. Progressive tearing helps reduce deceleration for lighter users, catering to a broad range of body weights.
• Compact and Flexible: Designed to minimize bulk, the compact energy absorber facilitates handling. Elasticized arms ensure that progression is not hindered, maintaining mobility and ease of use.

Durable and Protective Construction

• Protective Fabric Pouch: Encased in a durable fabric pouch with openings at both ends, the absorber is protected from abrasion and contaminants while allowing for regular inspection to ensure ongoing reliability and safety.

Installation Options

• Flexible Installation Options: The absorber can be installed on the harness using different methods depending on the user’s needs:
  • Frequent Connection/Disconnection: Utilizes a carabiner held in the correct position by the STRING positioning accessory, or a MICRO SWIVEL to prevent tangling, facilitating ease of movement and quick adjustments.
  • Semi-permanent Connection: Secured using a RING OPEN gated ring for optimal positioning, or a SWIVEL OPEN to prevent tangling, enhancing stability and safety.

Connector Availability

• Optional Connectors: Available with or without connectors, including two large-opening MGO connectors for attaching to metal structures and a Bm’D carabiner with a CAPTIV positioning bar for secure connection to the harness, providing robust and versatile attachment options.

Product Specifications

• Length Options: The energy absorber is available in standard lengths to suit different operational requirements and user preferences.
• Compliance and Safety: Complies with maximum accepted fall distances, ensuring reliability and safety across a range of use conditions. For more detailed technical information, visit petzl.com.
