Adjustable Rope Positioning Lanyard
The 210TWLS puts the length control in a rope: the adjuster slides along the lanyard to set the exact stance, then holds under load, giving pole and structure workers a custom fit at every position. Steel locking snap hooks finish both ends.
Built for work positioning and travel restraint, not fall arrest: no absorber, no stretch, just rated webbing or rope and steel locking hardware that holds a worker where the work is.
Who Needs This Product
Positioning lanyards do the unglamorous holding work: keeping a worker leaned into a pole, tied back from an edge, or restrained short of the hazard. Because there is no absorber, the discipline is absolute: this lanyard positions and restrains, and a separate arrest system catches. Crews that need both in one connection should look at the shock absorbing lines.
Features
On-Rope Adjustment
The adjuster sets any working length up to 8 ft and holds it under positioning load.
Durable Rope Construction
The rope lay takes daily pole and steel contact with long service life.
Steel Locking Hooks
Double-action locking snap hooks at both ends, rated to 5,000 lb tensile.
No-Stretch Control
With no absorber or elastication, the set length is the working length, exactly what positioning demands.
Abrasion Resistance
Built for daily contact with poles, steel, and concrete.
Simple Inspection
Two hooks and a strap inspect in seconds before each use.

Typical Applications
Setup Overview
- Inspect the webbing or rope and both hooks before use.
- Connect one hook to the side D-ring or belt D-ring designated for positioning.
- Route the lanyard around or to the structure and connect the second hook.
- Set the length so free fall is limited to 2 ft, then lean back to load gradually.
- Verify the independent fall arrest connection before releasing hand holds.
Full use instructions ship with the lanyard.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect the lanyard before each use, and have a competent person inspect it at least annually.
- Webbing or rope: cuts, frays, burns, chemical damage, or broken stitching.
- Hooks: gates close and lock; no cracks, corrosion, or distortion.
- Adjuster (if fitted): holds the set length under load without slipping.
- Labels: present and legible.
Retirement triggers: any loading event, any defect found during inspection, or any condition where the inspector cannot positively verify the lanyard is fit for service.
