ABSORBICA®-Y MGO European Version

Double lanyard with integrated energy absorber and MGO connectors ABSORBICA®-Y MGO is a double lanyard with compact energy absorber, designed for progression on a vertical structure or a horizontal lifeline, and for passing intermediate anchors. It functions with users weighing between 50 and 140 kg. It is available in two lengths: 80 or 150 cm versions (without connectors). The 150 cm version has elasticized arms to avoid hindering progression. With two MGO large-opening connectors, it is certified to European and Russian standards.

Advanced Energy Absorber for Vertical and Horizontal Lifelines

This energy absorber is specifically designed for use during progression on vertical structures or horizontal lifelines, featuring a compact design that enhances mobility and safety when passing intermediate anchors.

Optimized Energy Absorption

• Impact Force Reduction: The energy absorber's webbing tears upon impact to limit the force on the user, supporting individuals weighing between 50 and 140 kg. Progressive tearing helps to reduce deceleration for lighter users, making it a versatile choice for diverse team compositions.
• Compact and Flexible Design: The compact structure of the energy absorber ensures minimal bulk, facilitating handling. The FLEX version includes 150 cm of elasticized webbing, designed to prevent hindrance during progression.
• Durable Protection: Encased in a durable fabric pouch with opening systems at both ends, the energy absorber is shielded from abrasion and contaminants while remaining accessible for regular inspection.

Installation Versatility

• Flexible Connection Options: The absorber offers two installation options on the harness, depending on operational 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: Can be secured using a RING OPEN gated ring for optimal positioning, or a SWIVEL OPEN to further prevent tangling, enhancing stability and safety.

Enhanced Connectivity

• MGO Connectors: The absorber includes two large-opening MGO connectors, ideal for secure connection to metal structures, enhancing the versatility and usability of the absorber in various structural environments.
