Klein Tools 87473 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the working length of the Klein Tools 87473 deceleration lanyard?
The Klein 87473 deceleration lanyard has a 6-foot (1.83 m) working length. That length has to be factored into your fall clearance calculation along with the energy absorber's extension and the worker's height, so it suits anchor points well above the walking surface rather than tight-clearance work.
2) Will the snap hooks on this Klein lanyard fit my harness D-ring and anchor point?
Two of the hooks are drop-forged steel double-locking snap-hooks with an 11/16-inch (17 mm) throat opening. That throat handles standard harness D-rings and similarly sized anchorage connectors, but it will not close around a large-diameter beam or scaffold tube; for that you need a separate anchor sling or a large-throat rebar-style hook to connect to.
3) How do I know if a deceleration lanyard has already taken a fall and needs to be retired?
The 87473 carries a red warning label that becomes visible when the unit has been subjected to severe impact force. If that label shows, the lanyard is done and must be replaced, not reused. Inspect for it before every use along with the webbing and hooks.
4) Can I use this lanyard for fall restraint or positioning instead of fall arrest?
No. The 87473 is designed solely for use in fall-arrest systems to reduce impact forces. For work positioning or restraint you need a lanyard built for that purpose; an energy-absorbing lanyard used for positioning defeats its own design.
5) What is the Klein 87473 lanyard actually made of, and will the webbing hold up on a jobsite?
Construction is an energy-absorbing polyester inner core inside an outer shell of orange tubular nylon webbing, with drop-forged steel corrosion-resistant snap-hooks. The orange shell is easy to spot for inspection, and the steel hardware resists rust on outdoor and utility work. Sharp edges are still the enemy of any webbing lanyard, so pad or reroute where it can bear on steel or masonry.
6) How much does the Klein 87473 lanyard weigh for a worker carrying it all day?
It weighs 2.3 lb (1 kg). With three hooks and a 6-foot length, that is the trade-off for the steel double-locking hardware; the unused leg on a twin-leg setup rides on the harness between moves.
