Buying Guide

Choose the right configuration

Pick single-leg lanyards for simple anchorage and double-leg for continuous connection during transitions; double-leg designs let you stay tied off when moving anchor points

Prioritize shock absorption

Internal shock absorbers reduce arrest forces on the user and anchor — select lanyards explicitly labeled shock-absorbing for fall-arrest scenarios

Match rope length to work scope

Use short lanyards (around 6 ft) for close-quarters maintenance and vertical lifelines (25–50 ft) when vertical access or multiple tie-off points are required

Verify connectors and compatibility

Ensure hooks and carabiners are rated for fall protection and compatible with your anchor hardware to avoid connector cross-loading or incompatibility
