Guardian 01122 Non-Shock-Absorbing Web Loop Harness Extension Lanyard, 18 Inch

An 18 inch web loop harness extension lanyard — Guardian 01122

Some connection points don't take a snap hook cleanly, and that's where web loop ends earn their place. The Guardian 01122 is a harness extension lanyard — 18 inches of webbing with sewn web loop ends instead of hooks, no built-in shock pack, ANSI and OSHA compliant per Guardian's listing. Route each loop through a D-ring or anchor point girth-hitch style to add fixed reach where a plain non-shock connector is the correct component.

Shoppers searching a lanyard with extension that uses a loop rather than a hook, or general fall protection lanyard extension needs, land on the 01122.

Pros & cons

Specifications

What this lanyard is for

Adding fixed, rated reach between two connection points where a girth-hitch style web loop suits the hardware better than a snap hook, and where a plain non-shock connector — not an energy-absorbing lanyard — is the correct component per your hazard assessment and Guardian's instructions. It sits in the carabiners & connectors collection, forms the connector link described in the fall protection equipment guide, and pairs with a harness from the full body harness collection, ranked in our best safety harness guide, including Guardian's own Series 3 harness. Inspect any harness in the system against our harness inspection reference.

Compatibility

The web loop ends route through any standard rated D-ring or anchor point — confirm your harness or anchor's rated capacity before ordering. If your application instead requires energy absorption, Guardian's 01220 shock-absorbing lanyard or 01285 adjustable version are the shock-absorbing alternatives — do not substitute this 01122 where a shock-absorbing lanyard is called for. FallTech's 8259 internal shock absorbing lanyard is a further shock-absorbing alternative if you're comparing across brands.

How this lanyard compares

The closest sibling is the Guardian 01121 — same non-shock extension role, self-locking snap hooks at both ends instead of web loops. Guardian's 01271 is another non-shock lanyard, built as a dual-leg with rebar hooks and covered in our D-ring extenders guide. For a rope-grab-and-lanyard combination instead, see the Guardian 01503, and every harness on the system should carry a Guardian 10733 trauma strap for the rescue plan, ranked in our suspension trauma straps guide. Every connector in stock is in the carabiners & connectors collection, the connector's role in the ABC system is covered in the ABCDs of fall protection, and the full field lives in the fall protection collection.

Safety note: this is a non-shock-absorbing lanyard — it must never be substituted for an energy-absorbing lanyard in any connection where fall-arrest forces need to be limited, and its correct application in a personal fall arrest system should be confirmed by a qualified person against Guardian's instructions and OSHA 1926.502. Recalculate clearance and arrest-force implications with this lanyard's length included, inspect both web loops and the webbing before every use, and retire it after any fall arrest.

Ordering FAQ

Is the Guardian 01122 in stock and ready to ship?
Yes — this listing is active and ships through Amazon. Open the linked listing for live price, availability, and delivery speed.

What are “web loop” ends?
Sewn webbing loops instead of snap hooks — you route the loop through a D-ring or anchor point in a girth-hitch style connection rather than clipping a hook onto it.

What does “non-shock-absorbing” mean here?
It has no built-in shock pack to limit arrest force during a fall — it is a fixed-length webbing extension only. Do not substitute it for a shock-absorbing lanyard in any application where fall-arrest energy absorption is required; confirm the correct use case against Guardian’s instructions and a qualified person’s system design.

How long is this lanyard?
18 inches — a fixed length, not adjustable.

Is this ANSI and OSHA compliant?
Guardian lists it as ANSI and OSHA compliant. Compliance of the full system still depends on correct application, a rated anchor, and a properly fitted harness under OSHA 1926.502.

How is this different from the Guardian 01121 with snap hooks?
Both are Guardian non-shock extension lanyards; this 01122 uses web loop ends for a girth-hitch connection, while the 01121 has self-locking snap hooks at both ends for a clip-on connection instead.

When would I choose web loop ends over snap hooks?
When your connection point doesn’t accept a snap hook gate, or your application calls for a girth-hitch style wrap rather than a clip-on connector — confirm against Guardian’s instructions and your specific anchor or D-ring hardware.

Can I use this in a fall-arrest connection?
Only if your hazard assessment and Guardian’s instructions confirm a non-shock-absorbing extension is appropriate for that specific connection — a qualified person should verify the arrest forces and clearance involved before relying on it in any fall-arrest role.

Is this compatible with any harness?
The web loop ends route through any standard rated D-ring — confirm your harness’s D-ring style and rated capacity are compatible before ordering.

How do I inspect it before use?
Check the webbing for cuts, fraying, UV damage, or chemical staining, and confirm both web loops and their stitching show no deformation or wear. Retire after any fall arrest.

Does adding this extension affect fall clearance?
Yes — any added length between the anchor and the worker reduces available clearance and can affect arrest force calculations. Recalculate with this extension’s length included before relying on it in a fall-arrest role.

How do I reorder for a crew?
Reorder from this page — the listing and its linked Amazon ASIN stay constant, so equipping every position that needs it takes seconds.
