C5115 Single-Leg Stretch Internal Shock-Absorbing Lanyard with 1 Rebar Hook and 1 Steel Snap Hook
The Malta Dynamics C5115 is a single-leg energy-absorbing lanyard that connects a worker's full body harness to an anchorage in a personal fall arrest system. One end carries a large-throat rebar hook for clipping directly to rebar, scaffold tube, or structural steel, while the harness end uses a steel snap hook. The elastic webbing rests at 4.5 feet and stretches to 6 feet only when reach is needed.
The internal shock absorber is built into the webbing, keeping the lanyard lightweight while limiting maximum arresting force to 900 pounds or less. The connectors are alloy steel with a 3,600 lb gate rating, and the assembly is third-party tested under ISO 17025 to ANSI Z359.13-2013. This listing ships as a bulk pack so a crew is outfitted from one line item.
Who Needs This Product
The C5115 is the connecting device in a personal fall arrest system, with a rebar hook that clips directly to rebar, scaffold tube, or structural members where a snap hook will not reach. It is built for crews working in tight spaces around concrete reinforcement, formwork, and steel. Each connected worker also needs an ANSI full-body harness and an anchorage rated for the load. Because it is a single-leg lanyard, the worker is unprotected during repositioning; for 100 percent tie-off, use a double-leg lanyard instead.
Features
Rebar hook end
A large-throat self-closing rebar hook clips directly to rebar, scaffold tube, or structural steel where a snap hook cannot reach.
Stretch webbing
Rests at 4.5 feet and extends to 6 feet only when needed, cutting the loose lanyard that causes trips and snags.
Internal shock absorber
The energy absorber is built into the webbing, keeping the lanyard lightweight while limiting maximum arresting force to 900 pounds or less.
Steel snap hook end
A self-locking alloy steel snap hook with 3,600 lb gate strength connects to the harness dorsal D-ring.
High-visibility webbing
One-inch polyester webbing in a vibrant orange color keeps the lanyard easy to see and inspect.
Bulk pack for crews
Ships as a multi-unit pack so a whole crew is equipped from one line item.

A single-leg lanyard does not provide 100 percent tie-off. The worker is unprotected while disconnecting and reconnecting. Verify fall clearance below the work surface before each use, keep free fall within 6 feet, confirm the anchorage is rated for the load, and retire the lanyard immediately after any fall-arrest event or if the shock absorber shows any sign of deployment.

Typical Applications
Use Overview
Use per the Malta Dynamics lanyard user instruction manual. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Inspect. Check the webbing, stitching, shock absorber, and all connectors before each use.
- Verify the harness. Wear an ANSI-compliant full body harness, fitted and adjusted, with the dorsal D-ring centered between the shoulder blades.
- Verify the anchorage. Confirm the anchorage is rated for the personal fall arrest load and located to keep free fall within 6 feet.
- Calculate clearance. Add free fall, deceleration distance, harness stretch, and a safety margin, and confirm that sufficient fall clearance is maintained below the work surface.
- Connect. Clip the rebar hook to the anchorage and the snap hook to the dorsal D-ring, confirming each gate is fully closed and locked.
- Minimize swing falls. Keep the anchorage as directly overhead as possible to reduce pendulum swing.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect before each use, with a documented competent-person inspection at least every six months or per your program. Remove the lanyard from service for any of the conditions below.
- Webbing: cuts, frays, abrasion, burns, chemical damage, or broken fibers.
- Stitching: pulled, cut, or broken threads anywhere on the assembly.
- Shock absorber: any sign of activation, deployment, or the warning label being exposed.
- Hooks: cracks, deformation, corrosion, or a gate that does not close and lock.
- Labels: must remain legible and intact.
Retirement triggers: any fall-arrest event, any sign the shock absorber has deployed, or any defect listed above. A lanyard that has been exposed to a fall must be permanently removed from service.
