HERMEQ’s Gravity Y-Forked Lanyard is a critical fall protection component in professional working at height equipment systems. The dual-leg forked design enables continuous attachment to multiple anchor points, allowing workers to climb or move horizontally while staying securely connected at all times. This 1.8m webbing lanyard includes a shock absorber to significantly reduce fall impact.
The shock absorber reduces forces transmitted to the body to less than 6kN, while the high-strength webbing and protected loops deliver exceptional durability. It is fitted with one karabiner and two scaffold hooks to ensure quick attachment and safe transitions during use. Built to BS EN 355 and VG 11.063 specifications, this lanyard provides peace of mind in high-risk working environments such as scaffolding, fixed ladders, lattice structures and overhead installations.
- Y-Shaped Forked Design - Dual leg setup allows movement between anchors while remaining secured.
