The 3M Protecta Twin Leg Adjustable Shock Absorbing Lanyard is a fall arrest lanyard engineered to provide 100% tie-off capability during movement between anchor points at height. The twin leg design features two independent lanyard legs, each fitted with a snap hook, allowing the worker to connect one leg to the next anchor point before disconnecting the first leg from the previous anchor point, ensuring that the worker is always connected to at least one anchor point throughout the transition and eliminating the risk of an unprotected fall during anchor-to-anchor movement.
The integrated shock absorber deploys during a fall event, extending to reduce the peak arrest force transmitted to the worker's body and harness to within the limits specified by applicable fall protection standards. This deceleration function is critical to minimizing the risk of injury during fall arrest by limiting the forces applied to the worker's spine, harness attachment points, and anchor system. The adjustable lanyard length allows each leg to be set to the appropriate working length, reducing the potential free fall distance and limiting swing fall exposure when working at varied distances from the anchor point.
At 6 ft maximum length per leg, this lanyard is suited for use in construction, industrial maintenance, steel erection, and other work at height applications where continuous connection to the fall protection system is required during movement between work positions or anchor points. As a 3M Protecta product, this lanyard is engineered to the performance and quality standards of the Protecta fall protection line and must be used as part of a complete personal fall arrest system including a compatible full-body harness and anchor point rated in accordance with applicable fall protection regulations.

Note: The total fall clearance below the worker must be calculated before use to ensure sufficient clearance exists for the shock absorber deployment, lanyard length, harness stretch, and worker height combined. Specifications including snap hook type, shock absorber deployment length, compatible harness D-ring sizes, and applicable standards compliance should be confirmed against the official 3M Protecta product documentation prior to ordering. All fall protection equipment must be selected, used, inspected, and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and applicable fall protection regulations.
