Petzl ABSORBICA-I VARIO 150 cm fall absorber

Product detailed description

ABSORBICA-I VARIO is a simple adjustable fastener with integrated fall damper, without carabiners. It is designed to move along a horizontal securing line (textile or steel wire rope) or on an elevated platform without passing between progressive anchor points. The VARIO system allows the length to be adjusted as required, thereby reducing the length of a potential fall. It has several installation options on the harness and can be used with different types of carabiners. It is available in two lengths, 80 or 150 cm (without carabiners). The 150 cm version has elastic loops so as not to restrict progress. Depending on the carbines used, ABSORBICA-I is certified according to American, European and Russian standards.

Absorbs impact energy in the event of a fall:

• Gradual ripping of the strap seams absorbs the energy of the fall and absorbs the impact force on the user
• For user weight from 50 to 130 kg including equipment
• Progressive ripping reduces slow ripping in light users

Small size:

• Compact, for ease of handling
• The VARIO system allows the length to be adjusted as required, thus reducing the length of a possible fall
• Durable fabric sleeve with opening system at each end, protects the absorber from abrasion or dirt and allows regular inspection of the absorber

Two options for installation on the harness, depending on the application:

• For frequent attachment/detachment, use a carabiner with STRING protector (included) or MICRO SWIVEL swivel to prevent tangling
• For low frequency disconnection, use the RING OPEN connection ring, whose circular shape ensures optimal positioning, or the SWIVEL OPEN swivel to prevent tangling

Two variants of carabiners at the ends of the loops:

• Carabiner with lock lock or special carabiner with large capacity MGO OPEN
• Available in two lengths, 80 and 150 cm

Certification:

• CE EN 355 when using EN 362 couplings
• ANSI Z359.13 12 feet when using ANSI Z359.12 couplings
• EAC
