LC-201 EAL1 Single-Leg Energy-Absorber Lanyard 2 m

Energy-Absorbing Lanyards (EN 355)

The PGTEC LC-201 EAL1 is a single-leg energy-absorbing lanyard built to EN 355, designed as the core fall-arrest connector for workers operating at height in construction, steel erection, industrial maintenance, roofing and telecommunications. The lanyard consists of a 2 m length of 40 mm navy-blue high-tenacity polyester webbing stitched around a compact tear-web energy absorber sewn into a protective navy cover, with a 22 kN aluminium screwgate karabiner at the anchorage end and a 17 mm aluminium snap hook at the harness end. In the event of a fall, the inner stitched energy-web tears in a controlled sequence, decelerating the user and limiting the peak arresting force to below 6 kN so that the load on the body, the harness and the anchor structure stays within the limits prescribed by EN 361 and EN 795. The LC-201 is suitable for users weighing between 50 kg and 100 kg including tools, and its 2 m free-length plus absorber extension is dimensioned so that the required clearance is predictable and easy to calculate on site. The polyester webbing is UV-stabilised, water-resistant and retains its colour after extended outdoor exposure, while the anodised aluminium hardware offers a favourable strength-to-weight ratio for all-day wear. Every unit is bar-tacked with high-tenament polyester thread, individually proof-loaded and supplied with a batch-numbered inspection label. The LC-201 is typically deployed as the primary connecting element between a full-body harness dorsal or sternal D-ring and a certified anchor, and is commonly paired with the PGTEC CK1 screwgate karabiner or CK3 scaffold hook for anchorage-end versatility.
