Newton Easyfit MEWP Kit 0
The Newton Easyfit MEWP Kit 0 bundles the Petzl NEWTON® EASYFIT Size 0 fall-arrest harness with a pre-assembled ABSORBICA®-I VARIO adjustable lanyard, two connectors, two positioning bars and a rope bag, ready to put into service.
This kit suits utility linemen, telecom technicians and construction crews working from mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) — boom lifts, scissor lifts and bucket trucks — where the worker ties off to the platform anchor point for fall restraint or fall arrest. The Petzl NEWTON® EASYFIT harness is designed to be put on like a jacket: FAST LT PLUS buckles on the sternal strap and both leg loops allow donning with both feet on the ground, and its breathable construction with two zippered pockets suits crews who wear the harness for a full shift. The Petzl ABSORBICA®-I VARIO lanyard is a single-leg energy absorber that adjusts from 70 to 167 cm to reduce potential fall height, rated for users weighing 60–140 kg (75–140 kg under CSA Z259.11-17).

Common questions
Which NEWTON® harness should I choose — standard, FAST, or EASYFIT?
The Petzl NEWTON® EASYFIT harness in this kit is designed to be put on like a jacket, with FAST LT PLUS quick-connect buckles and a breathable build with zippered pockets; the Petzl NEWTON® FAST has the same quick buckles without the jacket-style layout, and the standard Petzl NEWTON® uses a slower DOUBLEBACK buckle on the leg loops.
What size is the NEWTON® EASYFIT harness in this kit?
This kit includes the Petzl NEWTON® EASYFIT Size 0, fitted for a 65–80 cm waist, 44–59 cm leg loops, and a 160–180 cm stature; larger workers should use the Petzl NEWTON® EASYFIT Size 1 or Size 2, sold separately.
How is the ABSORBICA®-I VARIO lanyard different from the ABSORBICA®-I 150?
The Petzl ABSORBICA®-I VARIO in this kit adjusts from 70 to 167 cm to shorten the lanyard and reduce potential fall clearance, while the Petzl ABSORBICA®-I 150 is the same energy-absorbing lanyard at a fixed 153 cm length.
