372Z(3600LBS) Steel Carabiner, 50 kN

372Z(3600LBS) is a 113 x 71 mm steel carabiner formed from 11 mm bar, with a 25 mm gate opening and a listed breaking strength of 50 kN. The product photo shows a D-style frame with a gold-coloured finish and a knurled locking sleeve.

A D-shaped frame keeps the load close to the spine, where the connector is strongest, and the 50 kN rating gives a high reserve over the forces involved in a fall-arrest event. Typical applications include connecting lanyards and lifelines to anchors, rescue and confined-space systems, and general heavy-duty connection work on construction and utility sites, where steel's abrasion resistance is an advantage.

With a 25 mm opening it accepts most anchor connectors and harness D-rings. The 3600LBS marking refers to the 3,600 lbf gate figure associated with ANSI Z359.12, but gate strength is not listed in the specification, so request test data and certification for your order. As with the rest of the Z-series, it can be supplied under your own brand.
