Purpose and User

The Falltech 8242 WeldTech is a single-leg shock-absorbing lanyard built for fall arrest. It connects a harness to an anchorage point with steel snap hooks at both ends. The integrated shock pack limits arresting forces during a fall. Workers performing tasks at height where a fixed six-foot reach is sufficient will use this lanyard.

Suitability and Limits

This lanyard suits applications requiring a non-adjustable, single-leg connection with a 310 lb weight capacity. It is not for users who need adjustable positioning, dual-leg configurations for continuous tie-off, or anchorage connectors other than steel snap hooks. The fixed length and single-leg design restrict mobility compared to adjustable or twin-leg alternatives.

Deciding Specification

The shock pack is constructed with Kevlar webbing and meets ANSI Z359.13-2013 and ASTM F887 standards. This construction provides heat and flame resistance suitable for welding and hot-work environments. If the job site does not involve high-heat exposure, a standard polyester shock-absorbing lanyard may meet the fall protection requirement at lower cost.

Questions about this item

What anchor point do I need to connect the steel snap hook on this Falltech 8242 lanyard?

The steel snap hook at the anchorage end connects to any compatible anchor rated for fall arrest that accepts a standard snap hook connection.

Can I use this 6 ft shock-absorbing lanyard with a harness that has a dorsal D-ring?

Yes, the harness-end snap hook is steel and designed to attach directly to a standard dorsal D-ring on a full-body harness.

How do I confirm the shock pack on this ANSI Z359.13-2013 lanyard has not deployed?

Check the visual load indicator on the shock pack; if the indicator is intact and not extended, the unit has not absorbed a fall.
