Dynamic Safety in a Static World
Unlike static lanyards, the SWITCH PRO is crafted from DYNAMITE dynamic rope. This construction, combined with the use of knots, provides a critical dynamic safety reserve. In the event of a fall or shock load, the lanyard can absorb energy, reducing the impact forces on both you and your anchor, making it an indispensable dynamic rope lanyard for complex work positioning.
Certified Reliability: EN 354 & EN 795
This isn’t just any lanyard; it’s a certified piece of professional equipment. The EN 354 certified lanyard rating ensures it meets rigorous standards for lanyards, while the EN 795 Type B certification qualifies it as a temporary anchor device. This dual certification provides proven, versatile performance for any work positioning lanyard setup.
