PETZL ABSORBICA-I VARIO

Detailed description

Description

Designed for progression on a horizontal lifeline (rope or cable) or on an aerial work platform, without passing intermediate anchors.

VARIO adjustment system to regulate the lanyard length from 70 to 167 cm (without connector) and reduce the potential fall height.

Absorbs energy in case of a fall:

- progressive tearing of the energy absorber webbing to reduce the arrest force experienced by the user,

- works with users weighing between 60 and 140 kg (1).

Designed for use with a maximum length, including connectors, of:

- 200 cm under CE EN 355 standard,

- 183 cm (6 feet) under ANSI Z359.13 standard.

Minimal bulk: compact energy absorber to avoid hindering maneuvers.

Durable fabric casing with simplified opening system to protect the energy absorber from abrasion and projections, allowing periodic inspection of the absorber.

Two installation options on the harness depending on use:

- frequent connections/disconnections: with a carabiner held in the correct position by a STRING positioning accessory (provided with the lanyard),

- almost permanent connection: with an openable RING OPEN ring whose circular shape ensures optimal positioning.

Two connector options at the lanyard end: carabiner or large gate MGO OPEN connector.

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