LC-204 EAL4 Twin-Leg Stretch Energy-Absorbing Lanyard 1.5 m

The PGTEC LC-204 EAL4 is a twin-leg stretch energy-absorbing lanyard designed to solve the two biggest complaints about conventional Y-lanyards: snagging on obstacles and pulling the worker back toward the edge. Built to EN 355, the EAL4 has two legs of elasticised kernmantle cord that rest at a compact 1.5 m and stretch out to roughly 1.9 m under load, so the legs hug the body while walking, climbing or reaching, rather than hanging down and catching on scaffold braces, tooling or steel purlins. Each leg terminates in a galvanised steel auto-lock karabiner, and a central compact navy energy-absorber pack is stitched into the body, with a third steel auto-lock karabiner connecting to the harness dorsal D-ring. In a fall, the absorber deploys and keeps peak force below 6 kN on users weighing 50-100 kg. The elastic stretch also dampens shock loading during normal movement, reducing the tug that workers feel when stepping off edges or reaching across beams. The EAL4 is particularly popular in facade access, shipbuilding, offshore construction, wind-turbine maintenance and any environment where workers move quickly between anchor points on steel or composite structures. The dark navy tubular sleeve protects the elastic core from UV and abrasion, while the steel auto-lock karabiners offer 25 kN gate strength and a twist-to-release mechanism that cannot open accidentally. Each unit is proof-loaded, bar-tacked and batch-numbered.
