The 3M™ DBI-SALA® D-Ring Extension 1231117C is designed to improve accessibility and safety when connecting to fall protection systems. By extending the dorsal D-ring or overhead anchor point, it allows easier attachment of self-retracting lifelines or energy-absorbing lanyards in fall arrest applications. Built with abrasion-resistant polyester webbing and high-strength forged alloy steel hardware, it delivers durability and reliability in demanding work environments.

Key Features

Extended reach design: Adds 1.5 ft. length to improve access to dorsal D-ring or anchor point
High-strength connection: Forged alloy steel D-ring and snap hook ensure secure tie-off
Abrasion-resistant webbing: Durable polyester construction withstands harsh jobsite conditions
