The Slingtek YXY is a fall-arrest lanyard designed for scaffold and construction work. It uses twin webbing with a shock-absorbing design to limit fall impact, offering a secure attachment to anchor points and improved wearer comfort with multiple attachment options.

Question 2

What are the main specifications of this lanyard (material, length, attachments, and standards)?

Accepted Answer

Material: 100% polyester. Length: up to 2 meters. Design: twin webbing with a Y-shape. Attachments: single dorsal D-ring, two chest attachment D-rings, sit strap, adjustable shoulder and thigh straps, and included components such as a karabiner and two scaffoldings.

Question 3

How does the Y-shaped twin-webbing design benefit safety and comfort on site?

Accepted Answer

The Y-shaped twin-webbing distributes load across two legs, reduces fatigue during extended use, and provides flexibility with multiple attachment points. The adjustable shoulder and thigh straps, plus the sit strap, help keep the harness securely in place for stability while working at height.

Question 4

What applications is this lanyard best suited for?

Accepted Answer

Ideal for scaffolding and construction work, maintenance tasks at height, roof work, and any job requiring fall protection where a shock-absorbing, twin-webbing lanyard with multiple attachment points enhances safety and comfort.

Question 5

How should I adjust the shoulder and thigh straps for a secure fit?

Accepted Answer

Put on the harness, loosen all straps, then tighten the shoulder straps first until snug without restricting movement. Adjust the thigh straps so they are firm but comfortable. Ensure the dorsal D-ring sits centered on your back and that the chest D-rings are positioned for easy access. Recheck fit with normal movement to confirm no slippage.

Question 6

How do I attach this lanyard to a harness and anchor points correctly?

Accepted Answer

Attach the lanyard to the harness’ dorsal D-ring using the provided karabiner, ensure all connectors are properly closed and locked, then connect the other end to a compatible anchor point that meets fall-arrest requirements. Use the chest D-rings and sit strap as needed to optimize positioning and restraint.

Question 7

How does the shock-absorbing feature protect me during a fall?

Accepted Answer

The shock-absorbing component is designed to dissipate energy during a fall, reducing peak deceleration and the force transmitted to the wearer. With two legs of webbing and multiple attachment points, the system provides controlled tension and limits abrupt jerks.

Question 8

What safety checks should I perform before each use?

Accepted Answer

Inspect all webbing for cuts, fraying, or fading. Check the D-rings, karabiner, and connectors for corrosion or deformation. Ensure the sit strap and adjustable buckles operate smoothly. Confirm the two scaffoldings are intact and properly engaged. Replace any damaged components before use.

Question 9

How should I maintain and store the lanyard to extend its life?

Accepted Answer

Clean with mild soap and water if dirty; air-dry completely before storage. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, chemicals, heat, or sharp objects. Regularly inspect for wear and replace worn parts per the manufacturer’s guidelines.
