UnitySafe Blue Steel Force Deux Lanyard
UnitySafe Blue Steel Force Deux Lanyard – Twin-Leg, Tie-Back with Steel Rebar Hooks
ASK Part #: 26530 | UnitySafe MPN: BSFDX
The UnitySafe Blue Steel Force Deux Lanyard is a heavy-duty, twin-leg tie-back lanyard engineered for serious performance in demanding environments. Featuring steel rebar snap hooks on the leg ends and a compact steel snap hook for harness connection, this lanyard offers robust durability and secure tie-off for professionals working at height.
Like the Hot Shot version, the Blue Steel Force Deux is dual-classified for both 6-foot and 12-foot free fall scenarios under ANSI Z359.13-2021, allowing for overhead, sternal, or foot-level tie-off without sacrificing safety or compliance. The tie-back design eliminates the need for a separate anchorage strap, making it easier to deploy in complex rigging or structural conditions.
Whether you’re climbing steel, servicing wind turbines, or working utility poles, this lanyard delivers consistent fall protection with the reliability of steel hardware and jobsite-ready construction.
Key Features:
Twin-leg tie-back design supports 100% tie-off in transition and climbing situations
Steel rebar snap hooks for secure anchorage connections, built for high durability and ease of use with either hand for efficient climbing
Compact steel snap hook for quick and solid connection to the harness with either hand
Internal energy absorber reduces fall forces in both 6 ft and 12 ft fall scenarios
High-tenacity polyester webbing is abrasion- and UV-resistant
Compact, flexible design that won’t restrict movement during positioning, climbing, or rigging
Compliant with ANSI Z359.13-2021, including dual classification (6 ft and 12 ft)
OSHA 1910.140 and 1926.502 compliant for general industry and construction use

UnitySafe Blue Steel Force Deux Lanyard – Twin-Leg Tie-Back with Steel Rebar Hooks and Steel Harness Snaphook
ANSI Z359.13-2021 rated to both 6ft and 12ft free fall scenarios.
This lanyard is purpose-built for pros who work in dynamic environments that require secure tie-off and consistent mobility. The tie-back configuration offers flexibility when a dedicated anchorage point isn’t available. Combine that with a compact absorber, and you have one of the most dependable lanyards available in the field today. If weight is a concern or you prefer carabiner connectors over snaphook connectors, check out the UnitySafe Hot Shot Force Deux Lanyard.
What is a 12-foot free fall rating?
A 12-foot free fall rating, as defined by ANSI Z359.13, refers to a lanyard’s ability to safely arrest a fall when the anchorage point is located at or near foot level, allowing for up to 12 feet of free fall distance before the energy absorber activates.
The UnitySafe Blue Steel Force Deux Lanyard is ANSI-rated for both 6-foot and 12-foot free fall scenarios, making it a highly versatile and compliant option. This means it can be safely tied off overhead, at chest level, or at foot level, depending on the jobsite and available anchor points.
12-Foot Free Fall (Tie-off at or below foot level):
- Max arresting force: Less than 1,800 lbf
- Average arresting force: Less than 1,350 lbf
- Maximum lanyard extension: 60 inches
6-Foot Free Fall (Tie-off at chest or sternal D-ring level):
- Max arresting force: Less than 1,800 lbf
- Average arresting force: Less than 900 lbf
- Maximum lanyard extension: 48 inches or less
This dual classification allows the user to maintain compliance and safety in a variety of work conditions, from overhead tie-offs to foot-level anchors, without switching gear. It's one of the key reasons why the Blue Steel Force Deux is a preferred choice for tower climbers, utility workers, and industrial athletes who need flexibility and performance on the job.
