A766KTL Aluminium Parachute Carabiner, Twist-Lock

A766KTL is specified as a parachute carabiner. The aluminium alloy frame is made from 11 mm bar, measures 72.7 x 69.9 mm and weighs 68 g. The gate opens to 12 mm and the stated breaking strength is 20 kN.

Its proportions differ from a climbing carabiner: the frame is almost as wide as it is long, and the product photo shows straight top and bottom sections that sit flat against webbing straps. The small gate opening suits webbing and compact hardware rather than ropes. The code suffix indicates a twist-lock gate, which relocks automatically when released.

Parachute and aerial-delivery equipment is governed by its own specifications and approval routes, which differ from those for climbing and fall-protection gear. Buyers should state the specification their assembly must satisfy, the webbing width to be accommodated, and the finish and marking required. Power Honour can supply A766KTL for OEM programmes or modify the frame, gate or bar size to a customer drawing.
