The Elk River 35487 is an adjustable 4.5 to 6 ft twin-leg (Y-leg) energy-absorbing lanyard with twin Z-rebar hooks for 100% tie-off, letting workers shorten the effective fall distance in areas with limited clearance below the work level. 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 35487 shortens the fall in tight clearance
On rebar mats and low-clearance decks, the danger is running out of room below before the lanyard arrests. The 35487 gives you two ways to manage it: 100% tie-off from the twin-leg design, and adjustable 4.5 to 6 ft legs you shorten to cut the effective fall distance where clearance is limited. Its twin Z-rebar hooks lock positively on rebar and pipe, and it keeps the 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 rebar tie-off pick, and the best fall protection lanyards guide and fall protection equipment guide cover how the pieces fit. It buys back clearance on rebar.
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). Shortening the legs helps, 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. The twin legs give continuous connection and the double-locking hooks exceed OSHA's self-locking requirement. 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 35487 listing documents
From the published specs: an adjustable 4.5–6 ft twin-leg design; twin Z-rebar hooks; 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 rebar hook lanyard — a clearance-managing 100% tie-off lanyard.
How the Elk River 35487 compares to other lanyards
For the adjustable carabiner twin-leg, the Elk River 35417; for the fixed carabiner twin-leg, the Elk River 35416; for aluminum rebar hooks, the Elk River 35488; for a dual-leg internal rebar option, the Guardian 11203; and for other 100% tie-off, the FallTech Ironman or 3M Protecta PRO Twin-Leg. 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 35487 suits rebar and concrete crews working over low-clearance decks who want 100% tie-off plus the ability to shorten the fall distance — compare tool-lanyard options in the tool lanyards collection for dropped-object control. Set the legs to buy back clearance, verify each anchor, and retire the lanyard after any fall. For crew orders, quantity purchasing runs through a free Amazon Business account — volume pricing, PO numbers at checkout, and tax-exempt eligibility for qualifying organizations, with the walkthrough linked in our footer.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Elk River 35487?
An adjustable 4.5 to 6 ft twin-leg (Y-leg) energy-absorbing lanyard from Elk River's Flex-NoPac series with twin Z-rebar hooks. It meets OSHA 1926.502 and ANSI Z359.13, with a 1-1/2-inch web and a 130 to 310 lb capacity, for 100% tie-off on rebar.
How does adjustable length help?
You can set the legs from 4.5 to 6 ft, so you can shorten the lanyard to reduce the effective fall distance in areas with limited clearance below the work level, then extend it as the work position changes.
What is 100% tie-off?
With the twin-leg design, one leg stays clipped to the current anchor while you move the other to the next anchor before releasing the first - so you are never disconnected while moving on rebar and structure.
What are the Z-rebar hooks for?
The twin Z-rebar hooks lock positively on rebar and pipe using a double-locking gate that requires two deliberate actions to open, exceeding OSHA's self-closing, self-locking requirement under 1926.502(d)(2)(vi) and reducing accidental rollout.
What is the arrest force?
The NoPac shock absorber is rated to limit maximum arresting force to 900 lb or less, meeting ANSI Z359.13 requirements for workers up to 310 lb, protecting the worker and the anchor during a fall.
What is the capacity?
It is rated for workers up to 310 lb, which should include the combined weight of the worker plus tools and equipment for the absorber to perform as designed.
How is it different from the 35417?
Both are adjustable Flex-NoPac twin-leg lanyards; the 35487 uses Z-rebar hooks for rebar and pipe, while the 35417 uses large aluminum carabiners for beams, pipe, and rings. Choose by what you clip to.
What harness and anchor do I need?
Connect the center Z-snap hook to the dorsal D-ring of a compatible ANSI Z359.11 full-body harness and each Z-rebar hook to a certified anchor or structural member. The lanyard alone is not a complete system.
How much fall clearance do I need?
Calculate total fall clearance before work: free fall based on the set leg length, the deployed absorber length, D-ring height, and a safety factor. Shortening the adjustable legs reduces free fall in tight clearance.
What work is it for?
Rebar-intensive concrete work, commercial construction, bridge work, and industrial maintenance where 100% tie-off and adjustable length matter in areas with limited clearance.
When must it be retired?
Retire the lanyard immediately after it arrests a fall - the absorber is spent - or if the webbing, stitching, or hardware shows cuts, burns, corrosion, or deformation. Inspect before every use.
How do I order for a crew?
Quantity purchasing runs through a free Amazon Business account - volume pricing, PO numbers at checkout, and tax-exempt eligibility for qualifying organizations. The bulk-ordering walkthrough is linked in our site footer.
