Kwiklock Carabiner
The Kwiklock Carabiner is a high-strength, drop-forged aluminum connector designed for fall protection, rope access, rescue, and work-at-height systems. With a 30 kN minimum tensile strength and 16 kN gate, side-load, and minor-axis strength, it provides a lightweight connection point for demanding industrial applications.
Why It's Used
Connectors are critical links between components in a fall-protection or rescue system. The Kwiklock combines high-strength aluminum construction with an automatic locking gate, providing secure connection while remaining lightweight enough for technicians who carry multiple connectors and equipment at height.
Every connector is proof loaded to 3,600 lbs. (16 kN), with a minimum major-axis tensile strength of 6,730 lbs. (30 kN).

Compatibility
The Kwiklock Carabiner is designed for use as a connector within compatible fall-protection, rope access, work-positioning, and rescue systems.
Connector selection must account for the harness, anchorage, lanyard, rope system, rescue equipment, loading direction, gate clearance, and other components in the complete system.
Always verify that the connector is compatible with the attachment points and equipment being connected and that loading remains within the manufacturer's approved configuration.
