And this allows for freedom of movement, minimizing discomfort and maximizing protection. Petzl products are distributed by Vertical in Spain and among the latest novelties within the range of fall protection products we find their webbing lanyard with energy absorbers. These products are a part of fall protection systems and may be used only after making sure that there is clearance height. The energy of a fall is absorbed by the planned-for tear of a number of seams. This is the working principle of Absorbica, the name of absorbers made by Petzl. This system greatly reduces the strain on the human body whenever a worker falls. Absorbica is different from other available products, due to: - Absorber protection case The absorption system is a flat ribbon with stitching that is planned to tear in order to absorb energy during a fall. It is protected from abrasion and spills by means of a case with zipper that will allow for easy checking of the absorber, and for eventual drying if necessary. - Connector holding system In order to ensure connectors work with their highest resistance axle (lengthwise) and to avoid wrong positioning, Petzl adopts several solutions, depending on the material (rope or ribbon) with which absorber terminations are made. Plastic sheaths and Strings (patented by Petzl) hold connectors in place as they are attached to the absorber ring of the harness. For versions in which the integrated anchorage element is made with flat sewn rib- bons, the connector termination has a String of the size that suits ribbon width. And for the versions in which the anchorage element is made of rope, the terminal is sewn and has a transparent polyamide protection case that will hold the con- nector and protect the seam. The transparent case makes it easy to check the con- dition of the stitching. Regardless of which of the solutions are applied, the connectors will be held in the right position and the ribbon or lanyard is protected against abrasion in the event of rubbing against the structure. - Length The various models of energy absorbers with integrated anchorage elements are available in two versions: Flat ribbon anchorage, total length 80 cm (without connectors) Lanyard anchorage, total length 150 cm (without connectors) The 150 cm-long version, a novelty launched in 2007, allows for freedom of move- ment in the workplace and for progress in structures with profiles placed at greater distances (metal tower type). The anchorage element made of rope is flexible and will not interfere with user’s movements when not in tension. The range of energy absorbers comprises the following models: Absorbica, Absorbica-I, Absorbica-I-MGO, Absorbica-Y, and Absorbica-Y-MGO. 1. Absorbica Absorbica L57 is a ribbon energy absorber, and like all other models in this product range, works as a number of seams are torn to absorb the energy generated during a fall. Designed as a component in a fall-arrest system, it may be used by itself or in com- bination with anchorage elements, to make up an anchorage-energy absorber sys- tem of a maximum 2 mt. in length. Available in one version: - Absorbica-L57: total length 22cm. Available with Strings at both ends. Clearance necessary: 6.10 m (anchorage + absorber + connectors total length 2m). 2. Absorbica-I Energy absorber with simple integrated lanyard. For use with anchorage system, horizontal safety lifeline, cable or bar. Available in two versions: - Absorbica-I 80 L58: total length 80 cm, integrated lanyard made of flat ribbon, with Strings at both ends. Clearance needed: 4.35 m. - Absorbica-I 150 L70150: total length 150 cm, integrated lanyard of rope. With String on absorber ribbon and protective case on end of lanyard. Clearance needed: 6.10 m. 3.
