Standard lanyards are not tested for edge contact and may fail. Leading edge rated equipment (Class 2, ANSI Z359.13) is tested with a sharp edge present during the fall arrest test.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n  \u003cdt style=\"color:#ffb74d;font-weight:600;padding:6px 0;\"\u003eWhen is the heavyweight (8246) lanyard required?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n  \u003cdd style=\"color:#e0e0e0;margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eStandard lanyards are rated for users weighing up to 310 lb (combined body weight, clothing, tools, and equipment). When a worker's combined weight exceeds 310 lb, a heavyweight-rated lanyard like the FallTech 8246 or 8247Y3 Ironman must be used to ensure the arrest force remains within acceptable limits.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n  \u003cdt style=\"color:#ffb74d;font-weight:600;padding:6px 0;\"\u003eHow is the internal shock absorber different from an external pack?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n  \u003cdd style=\"color:#e0e0e0;margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eAn internal shock absorber (8259 series) runs the full length of the webbing core. In a fall, the inner core tears progressively, absorbing energy uniformly. An external pack (like the 8256 ViewPack) contains a folded material that tears open during deployment. Both limit force to 900 lbf — the main difference is profile and inspection visibility.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"FallTech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44143029878872,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/1900\/0920\/files\/falltech-8259-lanyard.jpg?v=1779756851","url":"https:\/\/wcsafety.com\/products\/falltech-8259-internal-shock-absorbing-lanyard","provider":"WC Safety","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
