Shock Absorbing Lanyards

Shock Absorbing Lanyards

With over 7000 combinations of Shock Absorbing Lanyards available, Buckingham surely has one that will fit your application perfectly. Their line-up offers the largest variety of deceleration and attachment devices available.

For a full listing of Buckingham's Shock Absorbing Lanyards options, please see the Fall Protection catalog.

One of the most popular styles of lanyard, the deceleration lanyard, reduces the impact force of a 220 pound (100 Kg) steel mass to less than 900 pounds (318 Kg) in a six-foot (1.8 m) free fall. By contrast, in the same test, the arrest force of a rope lanyard is in the area of 2400 Ibs. (1089 Kg) and 2800 Ibs. (1270 Kg) for a web lanyard. Shock absorbing lanyards are not intended for work positioning, suspension or retrieval. When 600 Ibs. of force is exerted, the Buckingham shock absorbing lanyard begins to deploy and can extend an additional 3 1/2 feet (1.1 m) maximum, before completely arresting the fall.

Shock absorbing lanyards that have been partially activated should be taken out of service and destroyed.

 


Buck-Stretch Style


The New Buck-Stretch feature is available on all of Buckingham's shock absorbing lanyards. It allows the user to have automatic adjustability with less than 7 lbs. of pull to the users attachment point. The Buck-Stretch allows for 28 inches of adjustability. No more tripping on your lanyard! (The picture above shows the Buck-Yard Stretch lanyards with one extended to 6' compared to 4' when relaxed)
 


The Buck-Yard Stretch (Model No. 8VV716) has a built in shock absorber in a stretchable lanyard and has locking snap hooks at each end. During a fall when the elastic has reached its' full length, the shock absorbing packet will deploy reducing arresting force to less than 900 lbs.



The Buck-Stop Stretch shown to the right (Model No. 54L716), is a compact design for use with a harness that has a nylon loop attachment for the fall arresting device. The shock pack is sealed into a durable clear heat shrink tubing allowing visual inspection of the decelerator.



The Buck-Arrest Stretch (Model No. 64L716), has an elongated shock absorbing packet to minimize the size of the decelerator. A nylon tube covers the decelerator packet and provides an indication for the packet that has been partially deployed.



The Buck-Yard Stretch (Model No. 84V716), has the shock absorber built into the lanyard. The most popular and compact of the Buck Stretch lanyards, the weight of the shock absorber is distributed across the entire length.



The Dual Buck Stretch (Model No. 546716RDR) is designed for persons that would be moving to various anchorage points for their job's duties. Also the Buck Stretch lanyards are attached to the locking snap by means of a red rescue loop. The loop is designed to aid a self rescue or a rescue team, once attached to a rescue rope, a point in which to cut loose from the anchorage point.

This lanyard is equipped with the Model No. 3130 Locking Ladder Snap. We have many other locking snaps to choose from.
