KI 283 Single-Leg Lanyard with Carabiners on Both Sides

KI 283 Single-Leg Static Work Positioning Lanyard with Double Carabiners

The KI 283 is a static work positioning lanyard designed for work positioning, securing and controlled positioning during work at height.

It consists of a single 12 mm polyester static rope with two carabiners, one at each end. This configuration is intended for suitable positioning applications where connection is required between appropriate attachment points.

Important: KI 283 is a static work positioning lanyard. It is not a shock-absorbing fall-arrest lanyard. Where a fall hazard exists, an appropriate fall-arrest system should be assessed separately.

Double-Carabiner Connection Configuration

KI 283 has two carabiners positioned at the two ends of the static rope.

The presence of two carabiners does not make KI 283 a twin-leg or Y-type lanyard. The product has one static rope body and is classified as a single-leg static positioning lanyard.

12 mm Polyester Static Rope

KI 283 is manufactured with a 12 mm polyester static rope. The product information describes the rope as high-strength and low-stretch.

Its static construction is intended for work positioning and securing applications. It should not be interpreted as an energy-absorbing feature.

Intended Use

The product is intended for:

• Work positioning
• Securing
• Controlled positioning
• Connection between suitable attachment points

KI 283 may be considered for suitable applications involving steel construction, scaffold systems, maintenance and repair work, and positioning after reaching an appropriate connection point.

Applicable Standards

EN 354

EN 354 covers requirements applicable to lanyards. KI 283 is listed with EN 354 on the product source pages.

EN 362

EN 362 covers requirements applicable to connectors used in personal protective equipment against falls from height. KI 283 is listed with EN 362 due to its carabiner connection components.

Important: EN 358 is not listed on the KI 283 product source pages reviewed for this content. Therefore, EN 358 compliance should not be claimed without separate manufacturer documentation.

Applications

Steel Construction

KI 283 can be considered for suitable work positioning applications during assembly and related work on structural steel components.

Scaffold Systems

The two-carabiner configuration can be used for suitable connection arrangements in scaffold-related work positioning applications.

Maintenance and Repair

The product may be used for work positioning where suitable connection points are available.

Vertical Access and Positioning

KI 283 can be considered for establishing a working position after reaching an appropriate connection point.

What to Consider When Choosing KI 283

Before selecting KI 283, consider:

• whether the intended application is work positioning;
• whether the safety harness provides suitable positioning attachment points;
• whether the connection points are appropriate;
• whether the selected lanyard length matches the work situation;
• whether the carabiners are correctly connected and locked;
• whether a separate fall-arrest system is required because of the fall hazard.

Technical Specifications

Technical Editor's Note

KI 283 should be identified primarily as a single-leg static work positioning lanyard / harness positioning lanyard with two carabiners.

The two carabiners describe the connection configuration; they do not change the product into a twin-leg or Y-type lanyard.

This distinction is important for keeping the product entity consistent throughout the product page, category, technical specifications, FAQ and structured product information.

Pre-Use Inspection

Before use, check:

• the rope for cuts, wear or visible damage;
• both carabiners for deformation;
• the locking mechanisms;
• the connection points;
• the correct connection of both ends;
• unnecessary slack in the positioning setup.

KI 283 and Fall-Arrest Systems

KI 283 is intended for work positioning and securing. The product information does not describe an energy-absorbing mechanism.

Therefore, KI 283 should not be presented as a stand-alone fall-arrest device. Where a fall hazard exists, the complete protective system should be evaluated, including the safety harness, fall-arrest equipment, anchorage and other required components.

Conclusion

KI 283 is a single-leg static work positioning lanyard with two carabiners, manufactured with a 12 mm polyester static rope.

The product is available in 1.20 m, 1.50 m, 1.80 m and 2.00 m lengths, with EN 354 and EN 362 listed on the product source pages.

Its intended function is work positioning, securing and controlled positioning. It should not be described as a shock-absorbing fall-arrest lanyard or a twin-leg/Y-type lanyard.
