✅ Full Description

The CLX2008 Fall Absorber (1.6 m) is a vital component of a full personal fall-protection system designed to reduce the loads transmitted to a worker and the anchor point in the event of a fall. This energy-absorbing lanyard is engineered to deploy under a fall scenario, limiting the shock-load to acceptable levels and helping protect the user from excessive forces. Designed for use at height, it’s suitable for industrial maintenance, construction, scaffolding, tower work, and other applications where fall-risk is present.

The 1.6 m fall absorber length allows a sensible working range while keeping fall distance controlled. When used properly with a full-body harness, approved anchor points and compatible connectors, the CLX2008 contributes to a compliant fall-protection solution.

✅ Overview & Key Features

Overview:

• Model: CLX2008 (Fall Absorber, 1.6 m)

• Energy-absorbing lanyard component for fall-arrest systems

• Keeps worker safely connected to anchorage while limiting shock-loads

Key Features:

• 1.6 m length — suitable for working at height where moderate reach is needed

• Energy absorption — built in to minimise shock load to user and anchorage in a fall event

• Industrial-grade construction — high-strength webbing or rope, secure connectors, durable stitching

• Work-at-height compliance — designed to be used as part of a full PPE fall-protection system (when combined with full-body harness and proper anchorage)

• Versatile use — suitable for construction, industrial maintenance, wind-turbine work, scaffolding, etc

✅ How to Use

1. Inspect before each use — check lanyard webbing/rope, connectors, stitching, energy absorber pack for signs of damage, wear, corrosion or deformation.

2. Select anchorage point — choose a structurally sound anchor point rated for fall-arrest loads and positioned appropriately to minimise free-fall distance.

3. Connect the lanyard — attach one end of the fall-absorbing lanyard to the anchorage point. Attach the other end to the dorsal D-ring of your full-body harness.

4. Check the length and positioning — make sure the 1.6 m length suits your working zone, and that there is minimal slack but freedom to move safely.

5. Work within safe parameters — carry out tasks at height while staying aware of potential fall hazards, ensuring the system remains in tension and free of entanglements.

6. After a fall or shock event — if the energy absorber deploys or if the lanyard has arrested a fall, immediately remove it from service and replace it or have it inspected by a competent person; do not reuse.

7. Storage and maintenance — after use, clean the lanyard if necessary, dry it in a clean place, store away from harsh chemicals, direct sunlight and high-heat areas. Follow manufacturer’s inspection and service intervals.
