Why the FallTech 8246 Heavyweight fills a real gap

Most shock-absorbing lanyards are tested and certified only up to 310 lb — which quietly leaves out any worker whose body-plus-tools weight runs higher. The 8246 closes that gap: as part of FallTech's Ironman line, it uses a heavier 1-5/8-inch tubular web and beefed-up hardware to carry the load, yet the internal absorber still holds arrest force to 900 lbf or less. It ships three to a pack, so you can outfit heavier crew members or keep spares. As lanyards go, this is the high-capacity pick, and the best fall protection lanyards guide and fall protection equipment guide cover how the pieces fit. It protects workers standard gear leaves out.

What the FallTech 8246 Heavyweight listing documents

From the published specs: a single-leg design; a ≥310 lb heavyweight capacity; an internal continuous-length absorber at or below 900 lbf; a 6-ft length; a 1-5/8-inch tubular polyester web; a 3-pack; and ANSI Z359.13 / OSHA 1926 compliance. These are true heavyweight lanyard credentials and a genuine high capacity lanyard — a purpose-built shock absorbing lanyard for workers over 310 lb.

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 8246 suits construction, roofing, and industrial crews with heavier workers whose body-plus-tools weight exceeds standard limits — compare tool-lanyard options in the tool lanyards collection for dropped-object control. Rate the whole system to the user, verify each anchor, and retire the lanyard after any fall.
