Offset-D carabiner.
D-shaped connector bodies are designed to force the loads closer to the spine of the connector (the strongest orientation), therefore maximising strength. These are probably the most basic of all connectors in terms of shape, but this makes them a perfect choice in applications where strength and simplicity are paramount.The subtle D shaped back design helps maximise strength by placing the load close to the spine of the carabiner making it ideal for applications requiring a rugged, compact and strong connector.
Locking gate types
Screwgate
Manual locking gate requiring screwing/unscrewing of the barrel to lock/unlock.
Kwiklock
Auto-locking gate requiring two distinct actions to open.
Locksafe
Auto-locking gate requiring three distinct actions to open.
Durolock
Auto-locking gate requiring four distinct operations to open. Force must be maintained throughout or the gate returns to safe (locked).
Kwiklock ANSI
Same gate action as Kwiklock but the connector is also required to exceed 16kN in minor axis, side load and gate face tests.
Locksafe ANSI
Same gate action as Locksafe but the connector is also required to exceed 16kN in minor axis, side load and gate face tests.
