HiiGARD 18 in Dorsal Extension
A compact dorsal extension that extends the D-ring for easier fall arrest connection.
Advantages and strengths
HiiGARD polyester dorsal extension, fitted with a small steel hook (21 mm opening) at one end and D-rings (55 mm) at the other. Length of 48 cm (18 in). Designed to extend the harness's dorsal D-ring.
Use
Designed for easier connection
When the harness's dorsal D-ring is hard to reach, this extension adds 48 cm (18 in) of reach, simplifying the connection of a lanyard or fall arrest system, particularly on padded harnesses or bulky clothing.
Rugged and compact
Made of polyester webbing with a small steel hook and 55 mm rings, this extension is built for daily jobsite use.
Compatibility
Compatible with most fall arrest harnesses fitted with a standard dorsal D-ring.
Target audience
Recommended for workers wearing padded harnesses or bulky winter clothing, where direct access to the dorsal D-ring is limited.
