Absorber Petzl Absorbica

Petzl Absorbica is a compact energy absorber designed to be used in combination with a JANE lanyard to make a fall-arrest lanyard. Very compact, it minimizes bulk on the harness. Equipped with tear-webbing inside an openable pouch, the absorber is protected from abrasion while allowing for regular inspection.

• Designed to be used in combination with a JANE-I or JANE-Y lanyard to make a fall-arrest lanyard with a maximum length of two meters
• Absorbs energy in the event of a fall:
  • Progressive tearing of the energy absorber webbing limits the impact force on the user
  • Works with users who weigh between 60 and 140 kg
• Minimal bulk: very compact design doesn’t hinder the user during progression
• Durable fabric pouch with a simple opening system protects the energy absorber from abrasion or contaminants while allowing for regular inspection of the absorber
• Two options for installation on the harness, depending on use:
  • Frequent connection/disconnection: using either a carabiner held in the correct position by the STRING accessory (included with the absorber), or a MICRO SWIVEL to avoid tangling
  • Semi-permanent connection: using either a RING OPEN gated ring whose circular shape allows optimal positioning, or a SWIVEL OPEN to avoid tangling
