Energy-Absorbing Webbing

Ensorba™ Shock-Absorbing Webbing: Engineered for Safety and Performance

Shock-absorbing webbing plays a key role in fall protection systems by reducing the impact forces experienced during a fall. Our patented Ensorba™ energy absorbing webbings were all developed using our in-house drop test lab. But that’s not where the story ends. On a daily basis, we continue to drop test our Ensorba™ webbings to the U.S. and global standards to ensure they perform as expected. Continual testing means you can have confidence in the performance of Ensorba™ energy absorbing webbings.

We Manufacture High-Performance Webbing for Shock-Absorbing Lanyards

Shock-absorbing lanyards play a crucial role in fall protection by reducing impact forces before they reach the user. These lanyards incorporate energy absorbers, which dissipate fall energy and keep forces at safer levels below the injury threshold for individuals. Without an energy absorber, workers at height would be exposed to excessive forces, as the materials like rope or other webbings used for lanyards do not provide adequate energy absorption.

At Sturges, we specialize in producing high-performance energy-absorbing webbing used in the construction of shock-absorbing lanyards. Our webbings are designed to meet rigorous industry standards of the fall protection industry, and we collaborate with manufacturers to develop tailored webbing solutions that enhance the safety and effectiveness of shock-absorbing lanyards.

FAQs About Energy-Absorbing Webbing

How does Energy Absorbing Webbings work?

Energy Absorbing webbing is a component used in Fall Protection Lanyards. In case of a fall, this webbing will tear or stretch, ultimately absorbing the forces of the fall and protecting the worker from that energy. Sturges weaves and validates in house a variety of energy-absorbing webbings for different standards such as ASSP/ANSI Z359.13-2013 and CSA Z259.11-17. In addition, Sturges can also design these webbings to meet your specific requirements. Please contact us if you would like to begin discussing the design process or have any questions.
