Key features

ALKO PLUS Forked Lanyards come in Twisted Ropes, Kernmantle Ropes and also in 44mm wide polyester webbing and offer the facility to move in all directions while remaining safely anchored at all times.
Forked Lanyards (or Y-shaped Lanyards) provide 100% tie-off required during progressive movement from one anchor point to the next, upwards or side-ways.
While using an Energy Absorbing Forked Lanyard make sure that only the Energy Absorber end of the lanyard is connected to the Harness at its Dorsal attachment point. If this is not done so, the shock absorption element gets removed from the system, making it extremely dangerous in the event of a fall.
ALKO PLUS Forked Lanyards are tested as per PPE Directive 89/686/EEC.

Applications

Construction and steel erection
Telecom and power towers

Care and replacement

Inspect harnesses, lanyards and connectors before every use. Remove from service any equipment that has arrested a fall, or shows cuts, burns, chemical damage or deformed hardware. Have equipment inspected by a competent person at least every twelve months.
