Editorial assessment by the WC Safety Editorial Team, based on published Elk River specifications and category fit. We did not laboratory-test this product.
The Elk River 35417 is an adjustable 4.5 to 6 ft twin-leg (Y-leg) energy-absorbing lanyard with large-opening aluminum carabiners on both legs for 100% tie-off, whose wider gate clearance suits I-beam flanges, scaffold pipe, and anchor rings. Made in Roanoke, Virginia, it meets OSHA 1926.502 and ANSI Z359.13, with a 1-1/2-inch web, a center Z-snap hook, double-locking Z-hardware, a 3,600-lb gate strength, and a 130 to 310 lb capacity.

Why the Elk River 35417 adjusts to the work
Two problems dog structural tie-off: rebar hooks that will not swallow a wide beam flange, and a fixed length that leaves too much slack in tight clearance. The 35417 answers both — large-opening aluminum carabiners that clip I-beam flanges, scaffold pipe, and anchor rings, and adjustable 4.5 to 6 ft legs you shorten to cut free fall. It keeps Elk River's double-locking Z-hardware, a 3,600-lb gate strength, and the NoPac absorber holding arrest force to 900 lb or less. As lanyards go, this is the adjustable structural-steel pick, and the best fall protection lanyards guide and fall protection equipment guide cover how the pieces fit. It fits the connection to the structure.
Safety first: this lanyard is only one component of a complete personal fall arrest system — pair it with a compatible ANSI Z359.11 full-body harness at the dorsal D-ring and anchors rated for at least 5,000 lb per OSHA 1926.502(d)(15). The twin legs give continuous connection and the double-locking hooks exceed OSHA's self-locking requirement, but you still must calculate fall clearance: free fall based on the set leg length, the deployed absorber length, D-ring height, and a safety factor. Capacity is 130 to 310 lb and arrest force is held to 900 lb or less. Retire it after any fall. Confirm requirements with the OSHA 1926 fall protection guide.
What the Elk River 35417 listing documents
From the published specs: an adjustable 4.5–6 ft twin-leg design; large aluminum carabiners on each leg; a center Z-snap hook; a 3,600-lb gate strength; a 1-1/2-inch polyester web; a NoPac absorber at or below 900 lb; a 130 to 310 lb capacity; and OSHA 1926.502 / ANSI Z359.13 compliance. These are true adjustable twin-leg lanyard credentials and a genuine aluminum carabiner lanyard — a versatile 100% tie-off lanyard.
How the Elk River 35417 compares to other lanyards
For the fixed-length carabiner twin-leg, the Elk River 35416; for the adjustable rebar-hook version, the Elk River 35487; for aluminum rebar hooks, the Elk River 35488; for other 100% tie-off, the FallTech Ironman or Guardian 01230; and for a premium Y-leg, the Petzl Absorbica Y. The safety harness guide pairs the harness.
Building a complete fall arrest system
A lanyard is one of three parts. For the harness, the full-body harnesses collection; for anchors, the anchor points collection and roof anchors guide; for complete sets, the fall protection kits collection and kits guide; and the full fall protection collection, the lanyards and lifelines collection, plus self-retracting lifelines span every category.
Where it fits by job and crew orders
The 35417 suits ironworkers, scaffolders, and bridge crews who anchor to beams, pipe, and rings and want adjustable length plus wide-opening carabiners — compare tool-lanyard options in the tool lanyards collection for dropped-object control. Shorten the legs to cut free fall in tight clearance, verify each anchor, and retire the lanyard after any fall.
