STR4.5-6-2R Double Leg Stretch Shock Lanyard, Rebar Hooks
The Guardian 01298 doubles the stretch design for 100 percent tie-off: twin elastic legs that ride at 4.5 ft and extend to 6 ft, with large-throat rebar hooks and a single energy absorber at the harness end. Hi-vis orange webbing throughout.
Certified to ANSI Z359.13 and compliant with OSHA 1926.502 and 1910.140 at 130 to 310 lbs including tools.
Who Needs This Product
Two dragging legs are twice the trip hazard, which is why stretch construction matters most on doubles: both legs ride short until reached. Steel and rebar crews transition point to point with the free leg stowed on the harness keeper, never underfoot.

Typical Applications
Use Overview
Use must follow the Guardian lanyard instruction manual. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Inspect first. Check webbing, stitching, energy absorber, and hooks before every use.
- Connect the absorber end. Attach the energy absorbing end to the dorsal D-ring of the full body harness.
- Connect the anchor end. Attach the free end to a compliant anchorage connector rated 5,000 lbs or engineered with a 2:1 safety factor.
- Verify the gates. Confirm every hook gate is fully closed and locked, with no side loading.
- Check clearance. Verify fall clearance below the work surface including free fall, deployment, and harness stretch.
- Limit free fall. Position the anchor to keep free fall at 6 ft or less and minimize swing fall hazards.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect before every use, and have a competent person perform a documented inspection at least every six months under ANSI Z359.2 practice. Remove the lanyard from service for any of the conditions below.
- Webbing: cuts, fraying, abrasion, burns, chemical damage, or UV fading.
- Stitching: broken, pulled, or abraded threads.
- Energy absorber: any deployment, torn cover, or elongation.
- Hooks: cracks, corrosion, deformation, or gates that do not close and lock automatically.
- Labels: missing or illegible.
Retirement triggers: any fall arrest event, any absorber deployment, or any condition where the inspector cannot positively verify the lanyard is fit for service.
