352Z(3600LBS) Steel Carabiner, 25 kN

352Z(3600LBS) is a 108 x 56 mm steel carabiner formed from 10 mm bar. It has a 19 mm gate opening and a listed breaking strength of 25 kN. The product photo shows an oval-style frame with a gold-coloured finish and a knurled locking sleeve.

An oval frame keeps devices such as pulleys, rope grabs or tool tethers centred in the basket, which is useful in rescue and work-at-height kits. Its compact width suits smaller attachment points where a large connector would not fit or would be awkward to handle.

The 25 kN rating is lower than the other Z-series models, so check that it meets the strength requirement of the system it will be used in. The 3600LBS marking in the designation refers to the 3,600 lbf gate figure associated with ANSI Z359.12, but the specification gives breaking strength only; request gate-strength data and certification before specifying it for fall arrest. Private-label supply under your own marking is possible.
