Edelrid Defuser Rescue L Shock Absorber

Edelrid Defuser Rescue L Shock Absorber

The Edelrid Defuser Rescue L Shock Absorber is a shock absorber for rescue loads, rated to 220 kg (485 lb). It sits between the fall arrester and the harness and takes the sharp edge off an arrested fall. Edelrid certifies it only in combination with the Fuse guided type fall arrester.

Features and Benefits

The 220 kg (485 lb) rescue load is the reason this exists. Standard absorbers are sized for one worker, and a rescue puts two people on the same system. Sizing the absorber for the pair is what keeps the arrest forces inside the design envelope.

Additionally, Edelrid states the impact force stays 30 percent below the legally established maximum when the absorber is used as specified. Lower arrest force means less load through the harness and less through the anchor.

Moreover, the 400 mm (15.7 in) elongated body adds clearance from clamping ropes, and an inspection window lets you confirm the absorber has not been deployed before you commit to it. That check takes seconds and should happen before every use.

Product-Specific Use Cases

This Edelrid Defuser Rescue L Shock Absorber belongs in an industrial rescue kit rather than a climbing rack. It suits confined space and height rescue teams working across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, utility and telecom tower work, and any site where a two-person recovery on a vertical line is part of the plan. Confirm the full system pairing before it goes into service.
