• Double flexibility of use through splitting: The possibility of completely removing the upper part via the light alloy connector allows the operator to use the lower part independently, adapting it to specific EN 358, EN 813 and EN 12277/C standards.
• Accelerated and digitalized periodic inspections: The integrated NFC chip allows for unique PPE identification via reading devices, eliminating manual transcription times during mandatory security checks.
• Reduction of snagging risks in tight spaces: The side positioning rings can be locked in the closed position and the rear ring is specifically oriented to slide without obstacles during recovery maneuvers in confined environments.
• Optimal compatibility with respirators and backpacks: The raised positioning of the dorsal ring on the upper back avoids painful compression and keeps the attachment point free even when wearing oxygen cylinders or technical backpacks.
• High lumbar breathability for long shifts: The specially lightened waistline promotes heat and sweat dispersion, while the wide ergonomic rear padding evenly distributes pressure on the body.
• Modular and immediate tool organization: The combination of two large gear loops, four loops for tool bags and two fixed passages for connectors on the waist belt, together with the removable velcro rings, offers exceptional workload customization.

This professional harness finds its optimal application in carrying out at-height activities and special maneuvers conducted by rope access technicians, lifeline installers, industrial plant maintenance workers, technical rescue teams, firefighters and operators in confined spaces. Thanks to multiple certifications and resistance extended to 150 kg, it is the ideal tool for interventions in silos or tanks with breathing apparatus, evacuation operations with vertical recovery via the Diapason system, maintenance of pylons or civil infrastructure and work positioning activities where the range of sizes (from S to XL) guarantees geometric stability adhering to different body types.

The h1046_12 model is the correct choice when work activity requires a versatile and lightweight PPE (from 1650 g to 1750 g) that allows for the removal of the chest section and is tested for a maximum load of 150 kg. It proves to be widely preferable to traditional rigid or one-piece fall arrest harnesses in rescue or complex mobility contexts, as the preparation for ventral ascenders via integrated strap and the presence of loops for the Diapason system configure a ready-to-use platform without the addition of external adapters. Choosing this device, completely made in Italy, means investing in a durable system equipped with NFC technology and light alloy connectors, structured to respect the precise biometric parameters of the waist and leg loops described.

In what way does the removable nature of the upper part affect the regulatory compliance of this professional harness?

The h1046_12 harness has been designed with a modular architecture that allows the upper section to be completely disconnected via a small light alloy connector. When worn in its full configuration, it meets full fall arrest standards including EN 361. If the operational activity does not require protection from falls from height but only positioning or restraint, it is possible to remove the chest piece and use only the lower part, which maintains full legal compliance with EN 358, EN 813 and EN 12277/C standards.

What are the certifications covered by this PPE and how do the weights differ depending on the size chosen?

As highlighted in the description, the harness meets a wide range of national and international safety standards: EN 12277/C, EN 361, EN 358, EN 12277/A, EN 813 and UIAA approval. The structure is tested to withstand a load of 150 kg (EN 813). From a weight perspective, the model varies by size to suit the operator’s build: size S weighs 1650 g, size M/L weighs 1700 g and size XL stands at 1750 g.

How does the tool attachment system on the waist belt work and what extra accessories are included in the package?

The waist belt is extensively equipped for immediate operational readiness: it has two large rigid gear rings and four textile loops designed for direct attachment of a tool bag, as well as two fixed passages for inserting auxiliary gear carabiners. In addition, the supply includes as standard two special textile gear rings removable via a high-strength velcro system, which the operator can freely decide to position along the shoulder straps or on the belt according to their ergonomic preferences.
