PN 4200 Buck Ergo Belt
Ergonomically Designed Body Belt with Customizable Lumbar Support and Abdominal Stabilizer System
Buck Ergo Body Belt:
Buck Ergo Belts are designed to be used with positioning devices in order for the user to be continuously
connected while performing tasks such as transitioning over obstructions such as crossarms.
The Buck Ergo Belt, designed in consultation with a Doctor of Physical Therapy to promote immediate comfort
and long term benefits to the skeletal structure, can be used with various positioning devices such as a
conventional positioning strap, retractable lanyard or adjustable positioning lanyard. Buckingham offers a
compatible system consisting of the Buck Ergo Belt (a Four D-ring Body Belt), Wood Pole Fall Restriction
Device (BuckSqueeze) and an Adjustable Positioning Lanyard (BuckAdjuster). While working in a Wood Pole
Fall Restriction Device (BuckSqueeze) attached to the lower D-rings and the secondary lanyard attached to the
upper D-rings, the user is supported around the buttocks providing superior comfort. The lumbar pad offers
additional support in the lower back area and can be replaced with a hot or cold pack.
The section below describes a suggested method for the user to be continuously connected while transitioning
past obstructions when using the Buck Ergo Belt, BuckSqueeze and BuckAdjuster. Ensure you have read,
understood and follow these instructions as well as Buckingham's BuckSqueeze and BuckAdjuster instructions
prior to using this equipment.
The lower Body Belt D-rings are to be used only as attachment points for the BuckSqueeze.
The upper Body Belt D-rings are intended only to be used as attachment points for temporary connection while
transitioning past obstructions or as primary connection in work positioning applications. It is an acceptable
practice to stow a positioning device such as the BuckAdjuster or conventional positioning strap from one of the
upper D-rings when not in use. The snaphook and carabiner of the BuckAdjuster or conventional positioning
strap must be connected to the same upper D-ring during stowage. An alternate method of stowage is the use
of a break-a-way handline hook. The carabiner of the BuckAdjuster remains attached to the upper D-ring at all
times. The snap hook end of the BuckAdjuster may be stored on a breakaway handline hook when not in use.
The use of the breakaway hook allows the snap end to pull free in the event it becomes snagged by the workers
foot etc. If using a retractable lanyard simply stow the webbing in the retracted position.
