Shock-Absorbing and Retractable Lanyards Prevent Dropped Objects

Ergodyne announced six new additions to its Squids line of trapping, tethering and topping solutions designed to prevent dropped objects on the worksite. The launch includes two shock-absorbing tool lanyards, two retractable lanyards, a water bottle holder/trap and tape measure trap.

“The new shock absorbing and retractable lanyards improve on already great designs for lighter weight, lower profile tool tethering solutions,” said Nate Bohmbach, Ergodyne Product Director. “In addition to evolving those products, we’ve also bumped up the size of our water bottle and tape measure traps to be able to accommodate larger gear.”

The retractable tool lanyards feature a cut-resistant Dyneema cord and are certified to tether hand tools up to 0.5lbs / 0.23kg in retracted state and prevents tools up to 2lbs / 0.9kg from becoming falling objects. 

Shock-absorbing tool lanyards feature corrosion-resistant stainless steel carabiners and are certified to tether tools up to 15 lbs / 6.8 kg. 

The new larger size bottle holder secures up to 33.8 oz / 1L water bottles, containers or canisters. It features a stainless steel belt clip for attaching to tool belts and fall protection harnesses and durable D-ring for tethering to tool lanyard. 

The new larger size tape measure holder is designed to accommodate larger tape measures (30-40 ft / 9-12m). It features a stainless steel belt clip for attaching to tool belts and fall protection harnesses, and a durable D-ring for tethering to tool lanyard. 

According to the manufacturer, all of the products are third-party tested to the ANSI/ISEA 121-2018 standard for dropped object prevention.

“Last year, the industry saw an increase in the number of workers injured by falling objects — that’s a major problem,” said Tom Votel, President and CEO of Ergodyne. “Continuing to innovate and improve upon solutions in the drops prevention category is more important than ever.”
