① Nylon rope used in Klein rope lanyards, deceleration
units, rope grabs and V-slings is a 1/2" (13 mm)
diameter filament-nylon type with long strands for
very high tensile strength, excellent elasticity and
good abrasion resistance.
② Polypropylene rope used in Klein rope lanyards is
a 9/16" (14 mm) diameter safety-orange type with
excellent dielectric characteristics, ideal for working
near live electrical lines and equipment. It also has
good elasticity.
③ Nylon webbing used in Klein webbing lanyards,
deceleration units, deceleration lanyards and boom
straps is a high-quality, commercial-grade nylon
sling webbing. It is impregnated with latex or resin
for extra durability, and it provides extra abrasion
resistance.
④ Polyester core used in Klein deceleration lanyards
resists a wider variety of chemicals than nylon
does.
⑤ Aircraft cable used in Klein aircraft-cable lanyards
and deceleration units is made of 7/32" (5.6 mm)
diameter galvanized steel cable that is vinyl covered
for protection against abrasion. Provides excellent
resistance to heat, chemicals, paints and solvents.
Also resists molten metal splatter and open flame,
although the vinyl coating may melt or char. It will not
resist the flame of a torch.
⑥ Drop-forged steel used in Klein connecting devices
has a corrosion-resistant finish. Examples of Klein
hardware include locking snap hooks and
D-rings. All Klein hardware meets or exceeds
applicable OSHA standards.
Quality Assurance
Thorough testing of all Klein connecting devices
assures durability and quality construction. Klein
connecting devices and accessories meet or exceed
all applicable regulatory requirements.
