Description
Friction hitch based work positioning lanyard system offering a range of solutions for movement and changing position.
Details
These CE certified fall protection systems are available in 12.8mm or 11.8mm diameters, four bright and contrasting colors and a choice of three lengths. An additional use is as an anchor assembly for rescue for up to two person loads. The bespoke rope and hitch cordage has been tailored to interact perfectly for exceptional reliability, performance and durability; especially when paired with DMM hardware. The Nomad has the same two diameter options, contrasting colors and lengths as the Nomad+ but without the Director Yoke connector and Fidus 6.5mm Loop. All parts are replaceable for greater lifespan.
Features
- Four bright rope colors with hitch cords and color coded hardware for easy identification in complex environments; enhancing safety by helping avoid any confusion with main line or a second lanyard.
- A range of lanyard lengths (3m, 5m, 7m) to suit the working environment and your climbing style.
- Choice of two rope diameters to suit the weather, season and size of hands. Thicker rope is easier to hold in the cold and wet and also has greater cut resistance. Lower diameter for weight saving and use in the warm and dry.
- Market proven 24 strand count polyester cover double braid rope with a nylon core. Easy to grip and good abrasion resistance.
- The Fidus hitch cords have a polyester core and sheath, offering exceptional and consistent performance over an extended lifespan, even in harsh high UV environments.
- The hitch cordage has been designed to interact smoothly, consistently and reliably in a wide range of conditions.
- DMM TAP 2 to advance the friction hitch early and minimal sit-back. Three holes allow for additional configurations in complex work positioning.
- Paired with DMM Ultra O for correct compatibility between pulley, friction hitch and connection to the harness.
- Available with DMM Fidus 6.5mm Loop, allowing a range of additional configurations and positioning methods. The laminate tab ensures the knot remains correctly set and does not unintentionally move when not in use. The Fidus 6.5mm Loop is available separately to upgrade the Nomad lanyard system.
- Short and strong stitch patterns in sewn eye terminations.
- All Nomad lanyard systems are certified to EN358:2018, EN795B:2012. Not to be used for fall arrest.
- All Nomad Lanyard systems are certified as an anchor assembly for two-person rescue loads (PD CEN/TS 16415:2013).
