Petzl ABSORBICA shock absorber

Product detailed description

ABSORBICA® is a compact fall arrester for use in combination with the JANE fastener to create a fall arrest fastener. The shock absorber consists of a tear-off strap, housed in a protective cover that protects the shock absorber against abrasion. The opening sleeve allows regular inspection of the strap. Depending on the frequency of handling, it has two options for installation on the harness.

• Designed for use in combination with the JANE fastener to provide fall protection with a maximum length of two metres

Absorbs impact energy in the event of a fall:

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

Small size:

• Compact, for ease of handling
• Durable fabric sleeve with opening system at each end, protects the strap silencer from abrasion or dirt and allows regular inspection

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
