The Kosto CLKA16 and CLKA26 adjustable energy-absorbing lanyards deliver secure fall protection with built-in tear-away absorbers that reduce arresting forces during a fall. Constructed from 100% polyester webbing with aluminum carabiners, these lanyards offer adjustable length from 4.2’ to 5.8’ (1.3–1.8 m) for flexible use across different anchorage points. The CLKA16 features a single leg with two carabiners for standard connection, while the CLKA26 adds a double-leg design with three carabiners, allowing 100% tie-off when transitioning between anchors. Engineered for high-risk work environments, they provide reliable performance, comfort, and compliance.
