Malta Dynamics P-00039-1 Temporary In-Line Shock Absorber – Essential Protection for Horizontal Lifelines
The Malta Dynamics P-00039-1 Temporary In-Line Shock Absorber provides a crucial layer of safety for horizontal lifeline setups, especially on demanding job sites. Designed for the MDK-0060-S system, this in-line shock absorber significantly reduces the impact load during a fall event. It is ideal for temporary applications with MD I-beam or concrete stanchions.
Reduces Cascading and Enhances Fall Arrest Performance
This shock absorber’s primary function is to dampen the force exerted on the horizontal cable, reducing the “bounce” effect that can lead to cascading – a phenomenon where the brakes of a self-retracting device (SRD) engage and disengage repeatedly. By minimizing this risk, the P-00039-1 ensures smoother performance and reliable fall arrest, allowing workers to operate confidently, even in dynamic work environments.

Please consult the Temporary In-Line Shock Absorber Manual for comprehensive installation and usage instructions. This shock absorber is sold individually and intended exclusively for temporary applications.
