FallTech Ironman Y-Leg Shock Absorbing Lanyard — 8247Y3, Rebar Hooks

The FallTech Ironman 8247Y3 is a heavyweight twin-leg Y shock-absorbing lanyard with rebar hooks, engineered for workers whose combined body and equipment weight exceeds 310 lb — a capacity standard lanyards are not tested or certified for. Its internal shock absorber holds arrest force at or below 900 lbf per ANSI Z359.13, with 100% tie-off and a 12-ft free-fall rating, in heavier webbing built for hard use.

Why the FallTech Ironman protects heavier workers

Most lanyards are certified only up to 310 lb of combined body and equipment weight — a real problem for larger workers or anyone carrying a heavy tool belt, because a standard lanyard is not tested for them. The Ironman closes that gap with heavier 1-5/8-inch tubular webbing and hardware rated for workers over 310 lb, while its internal shock absorber still holds arrest force to 900 lbf or less per ANSI Z359.13. Add a twin-leg Y for 100% tie-off and rebar hooks for concrete and steel, and it covers demanding heavyweight work. As lanyards go, this is the heavyweight-capacity pick, and the best fall protection lanyards guide and fall protection equipment guide cover how the pieces fit. It is the lanyard for workers standard gear leaves out.

What the FallTech Ironman listing documents

From the published specs: a heavyweight capacity over 310 lb; a twin-leg Y with 100% tie-off; an offset rebar hook plus snap hook; an internal shock absorber at or below 900 lbf; a 12-ft free-fall rating; and 1-5/8-inch tubular polyester webbing. These are true heavyweight lanyard credentials and a genuine twin leg lanyard — a certified rebar hook lanyard for heavier workers.

How the FallTech Ironman compares to other lanyards

For standard-capacity Y-leg 100% tie-off, the 3M Protecta PRO Twin-Leg or FallTech 8259Y; for tie-back, the FallTech WrapTech or 3M Protecta PRO Tie-Back; for single-leg, the internal Guardian 11200 or slim Elk River NoPac; 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 plus self-retracting lifelines span every category.

Where it fits by job and crew orders

The Ironman suits heavier workers and those with heavy tool loads in construction, steel, and roofing who need certified capacity above 310 lb — compare tool-lanyard options in the tool lanyards collection for dropped-object control. Match the harness capacity to the worker, recalculate clearance for the higher free-fall rating, and retire the lanyard after any fall.
