The 18" D‑Ring Extender gives workers an easier, safer way to connect their lanyards while wearing a full‑body harness. Instead of reaching behind the shoulders to access the dorsal D‑ring, this lightweight extension brings the connection point within comfortable reach. Built from strong polyester webbing and galvanized steel hardware, it delivers dependable performance while maintaining the strength and compliance required for fall arrest and fall restraint systems.
With a minimum breaking strength of 5,000 lbs. and ANSI capacity ratings of 130–310 lbs., the extender is engineered for demanding jobsite conditions. The snap hook attaches directly to the harness’s back D‑ring, creating a new, easily accessible O‑ring connection point. At just 1.3 lbs., it adds convenience without adding bulk.
