This single-leg kernmantle lanyard provides critical fall protection in working at height scenarios. Designed for use with fixed ladders, scaffold structures, and metal frameworks, it combines 11mm polyamide rope with a 35mm energy absorber to reduce impact forces to under 6kN.
The thimble eye connector ensures strong and abrasion-resistant anchorage, while the textile loop connects securely to a working at height safety harness. Lightweight, flexible, and durable, it is ideal for teams requiring reliable PPE for working at height without added weight.
- 11mm Kernmantle Rope - Core-and-sheath polyamide construction resists abrasion and wear during daily use.
- Impact Absorption - Built-in 35mm energy absorber deploys during fall to reduce injury risk.
- Durable Stitching Sleeve - Transparent protective cover allows easy inspection and long-term use.
- Certified Performance - Meets BS EN 355 requirements for industrial fall arrest systems.
- Visual Fall Indicator - Displays “NOT OK” label post-fall to indicate withdrawal from service.
This kernmantle rope lanyard is purpose-built for vertical access and movement within working at height environments. Designed to minimise bulk while maximising safety, it’s a compact but critical part of any professional PPE for working at height. With a max user weight of 100kg and polyamide rope at its core, it’s well-suited to construction sites, scaffold installations, and general access systems.
The thimble eye connector offers reliable anchorage to structural points, while the textile loop easily integrates with a working at height safety harness. The internal shock absorber reduces arrest forces, which helps mitigate the risk of back, shoulder, or internal injuries during a fall.
At just 0.45kg, it’s a lightweight companion for site operatives who climb frequently or work on ladders, towers, or walkways. Its transparent sleeve also protects stitching from environmental exposure while allowing clear visual inspection.
A fall indicator is built into the system, giving immediate notice if the unit has arrested a fall and needs replacement. Whether it’s deployed individually or as part of a broader fall arrest system, this lanyard supports compliant, efficient, and user-safe operations.
HERMEQ stocks a wide range of equipment for Working at Height including Edge Protection Systems, Fall Arrest Systems, and Harnesses & Lanyards conforming to all required safety specifications and regulations.

Application:
This kernmantle lanyard fits seamlessly into fall arrest systems that demand compactness, resilience, and simplicity. Its 11mm polyamide rope core offers strength while resisting cuts, making it ideal for tough work environments with exposed steel, concrete, or weathered surfaces.
The unit supports secure vertical movement across height differentials where workers need to anchor and re-anchor frequently. Whether tied into a lifeline or clipped directly onto scaffold structures, the thimble eye connection ensures solid load distribution and loop protection during sudden impact.
At only 0.45kg, this rope lanyard is ideal for high-mobility teams where weight reduction contributes to efficiency and endurance over a full working day. The transparent sleeve over the sewn terminations shields against grit and grime, keeping key wear zones visible for inspection.
The included energy absorber deploys during a fall to safely decelerate the user without applying excessive force on the harness. For teams operating under UK regulations, the BS EN 355 compliance assures that both insurance and site safety standards are upheld.
Whether used on its own or combined with a harness and fall arrest block, this unit delivers the essentials of fall protection: lightweight, reliable, and regulation-ready. It’s an excellent choice for both permanent access setups and mobile worksites that rely on rapid equipment changes and dependable performance.
Is this rope lanyard compatible with a working at height safety harness?
Yes, it connects via a textile loop to all standard EN-compliant safety harnesses used in fall arrest systems.
What does the fall indicator label show?
The label displays “NOT OK” if the unit has previously arrested a fall, indicating it should be removed from service.
Can this be used on horizontal systems or fixed ladders?
Yes, it is suited to both horizontal and vertical work zones including ladders, scaffolds, and tower systems.
How does the energy absorber improve safety?
It limits the impact force transmitted to the user during a fall, reducing the risk of injury under sudden deceleration.
