Editorial assessment by the WC Safety Editorial Team, based on published 3M specifications and category fit. We did not laboratory-test this product.
The 3M Protecta PRO-Stop 1340220 is a single-leg shock-absorbing lanyard whose PRO-Stop deceleration system uses a cylindrical tubular webbing that tightens progressively during a fall for a controlled stop with low impact force and no torn-fabric deployment. It meets OSHA 1926.502 and ANSI Z359.13, with snap hooks, a 6-ft length, a 1-inch polyester web, and a 130 to 310 lb capacity, limiting arrest force well below the 1,800-lb OSHA limit.

Why the 3M Protecta PRO-Stop delivers a cleaner arrest
Most shock-absorbing lanyards arrest a fall by tearing stitches in a pack, which works but deploys unevenly and leaves torn fabric hanging. The PRO-Stop takes a different route: a cylindrical tubular webbing that tightens progressively as the fall loads it, delivering a controlled stop with low impact force and no torn-fabric deployment. It still carries the PRO Pack shock absorber holding arrest force well below the 1,800-lb OSHA limit, in a 1-inch polyester web built for weather and jobsite chemicals. As lanyards go, this is the controlled-stop pick, and the best fall protection lanyards guide and fall protection equipment guide cover how the pieces fit. It arrests smoothly and predictably.
Safety first: this lanyard is only one component of a complete personal fall arrest system β pair it with a compatible ANSI Z359.11 full-body harness at the dorsal D-ring and an anchor rated for at least 5,000 lb per OSHA 1926.502(d)(15). The PRO-Stop softens the arrest but you still must calculate fall clearance: free fall, the roughly 3.5 ft deceleration distance, D-ring height, and a safety factor. The capacity is 130 to 310 lb, and the absorber holds arrest force below the 1,800-lb OSHA limit. Retire the lanyard after any fall. Confirm requirements with the OSHA 1926 fall protection guide.
What the 3M Protecta PRO-Stop listing documents
From the published specs: a single-leg design; a PRO-Stop progressive tubular-webbing absorber; snap hooks both ends; a 6-ft length; a 1-inch polyester web; a 130 to 310 lb capacity; an arrest force below the 1,800-lb OSHA limit; and OSHA 1926.502 / ANSI Z359.13 compliance. These are true shock absorbing lanyard credentials and a genuine single leg lanyard β a controlled-stop tubular webbing lanyard for construction.
How the 3M Protecta PRO-Stop compares to other lanyards
For the standard PRO Pack single-leg, the 3M Protecta PRO Pack 1341001; for an elastic version, the 3M Protecta PRO Stretch; for tie-back, the 3M Protecta PRO Tie-Back Adjustable or FallTech WrapTech; for an easy-inspect pack, the FallTech ViewPack; and for an internal absorber, the Guardian 11200. 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 PRO-Stop suits general construction and roofing crews who want a smooth, controlled single-leg arrest at a professional price β compare tool-lanyard options in the tool lanyards collection for dropped-object control. Keep the worker-plus-tools weight in range, verify each anchor, and retire the lanyard after any fall. For crew orders, quantity purchasing runs through a free Amazon Business account β volume pricing, PO numbers at checkout, and tax-exempt eligibility for qualifying organizations, with the walkthrough linked in our footer.
