LIFT

Product Description

The Petzl LIFT is a spacer accessory designed to spread the shoulder straps of a harness, improving comfort and reducing pressure during suspension. By holding the shoulder straps apart at the chest, the LIFT prevents the straps from converging and pressing against the neck and throat during a fall or prolonged suspension, which can restrict breathing and cause discomfort or injury. This makes it a valuable safety and comfort accessory for workers who may experience suspension trauma or who spend extended periods in a harness.

The LIFT is particularly relevant in fall arrest applications where a worker may be left suspended following a fall event while awaiting rescue. In these situations, the spacer helps maintain an open airway and reduces the risk of suspension intolerance — a serious condition that can develop within minutes of being suspended motionless in a harness. Its use is recommended as part of a comprehensive fall protection and rescue plan in environments where post-fall suspension is a foreseeable risk.

Certified to CE and UKCA standards, the LIFT is compatible with a range of Petzl harnesses and is designed to integrate easily into an existing harness setup without tools. It is part of Petzl's broader range of harness accessories engineered to improve safety and comfort for workers at height.
