ELK RIVER ZORBER SHOCK ABSORBER 27123 3FT NICE! NR
Pamphlet inside package states:
Elk River offers two types of shock absorbing lanyards; the Zorber and the NoPac. Zorber Shock Absorbers are designed to dissipate the energy of a fall arrest by the progressive tearing of a precisely woven nylon material. The Zorber is activated by a force of approximately 450 pounds.
When tested by dropping a 220 pound weight six feet, the Elk River, Inc. shock absorbers and shock absorbing lanyards will reduce the maximum arresting force to less than 900 pounds. This reduction in arresting force may reduce the possibility of injury during a fall. Due to the energy absorbing action of the shock absorbing lanyards may extend up to 42 inches during a fall arrest.
* Maximum free fall - 6 feet
This item appears to be in great used condition. Elsewhere these would cost nearly $50!
