Types of Klein OPE Connecting Devices
Aircraft-Cable Lanyards are designed for use in
positioning, suspension, or retrieval systems. They
are vinyl covered for protection from abrasion. They
have locking snap hooks (Klein-Lok
® ) permanently
attached at both ends. Common users include
welders and others who must tie off on objects with
sharp edges.
Aircraft-cable lanyards must NOT be used around
live electrical lines or energized equipment. NEVER
use aircraft-cable lanyards alone for fall arrest.
Always use a deceleration unit with aircraft-cable
lanyards for fall arrest.
Rope Lanyards
Rope Lanyards are designed for use in positioning,
suspension, or retrieval systems. They are made of
long-filament nylon or safety-orange polypropylene
and are available in fixed or adjustable lengths. They
have locking snap hooks (Klein-Lok
® ) permanently
attached at both ends. Special-length lanyards are
available through special order at your authorized
Klein distributor.
Nylon-Filament Rope Lanyards are designed for use
in positioning, suspension, or retrieval systems.
They have excellent elasticity. These lanyards also
have good abrasion resistance.
Polypropylene-Rope Lanyards are designed for use
in positioning, suspension, or retrieval systems.
Polypropylene has excellent dielectric properties and
is ideal for use around live electrical lines, energized
equipment and other electrical OPE applications.
However, take care to keep metal snap hooks away
from live electrical lines or energized equipment.
Note: Rope lanyards can be used with a deceleration
unit for fall arrest.
Aircraft-Cable Lanyards
Nylon-Webbing Lanyards
Do not use aircraft-cable lanyards
near energized equipment.
Nylon-Webbing Lanyards are designed for use in
positioning, suspension, or retrieval systems. They
are made of orange nylon webbing impregnated
with resin for greater durability. Locking snap hooks
are permanently attached at both ends. These
lanyards are available in fixed or adjustable
lengths.
Note: Nylon-webbing lanyards can be used with a
deceleration unit for fall arrest.
