The Miller BackBiter® Lanyard with SofStop® impact absorber is specifically designed to eliminate the need for a separate anchor connector.

It is an all-in-one solution that increases safety and compliance by simplifying the equipment needed by the worker.

Key Features

Its main feature is the special Miller 5K® safety hook, designed to be anchored directly to the lanyard itself ("tie-back" function), creating a secure anchor point on beams and other compatible structures.

Advantages of the Miller BackBiter vs. Traditional Lanyards

The main advantage of the BackBiter® can be summarized in one word: **simplicity.**

Eliminates the Need for an Additional Anchor:

• • Traditional Lanyard: To anchor to a beam or pipe, you need two pieces of equipment: 1) An anchor connector (like a tie-off strap) that goes around the structure and 2) Your lanyard, which connects to the D-ring of that strap.

  • Miller BackBiter: It is an all-in-one solution. The lanyard itself is designed to embrace the structure and securely connect to itself. This means the worker carries less equipment, the anchoring process is faster, and the possibility of forgetting or losing the anchor connector is reduced.

Increases Compliance and Safety: 

By being simpler to use, workers are more likely to anchor themselves correctly. Simplicity eliminates steps and reduces the likelihood of human error, which directly translates to a safer workplace.

Robust Design to Withstand Abrasion:

The webbing of the BackBiter® is made of high-strength polyester combined with Cordura® nylon webbing, specifically designed to withstand the rubbing and abrasion that occurs when in direct contact with a steel or concrete beam, something a traditional lanyard is not prepared for. Much more resistant than other lanyards.

This model 913B/6FTGN is single-leg, 1.8m (6 ft.) long, and comes in green for easy identification.

Manufactured with high-strength polyester webbing and steel hardware, it meets and exceeds the most demanding safety regulations, including OSHA 1926.502 and ANSI Z359.13.
