Enhanced Safety with Palm Squeeze Technology
The palm squeeze mechanism significantly reduces the risk of unintentional opening during use. This design ensures that the DSG TRITON carabiner remains locked until the user purposefully engages the latch. It provides a high level of operational security for technicians and climbers alike.
Superior Strength and Keylock Functionality
With a major axis strength of 33 kN (7,418 lbs), this connector handles extreme loads with ease. The integrated keylock closure ensures the gate does not snag on ropes or webbing during clipping. This robust aluminium construction delivers a long service life in demanding industrial or recreational settings.
Frequently Asked Questions
What certifications does this carabiner carry?
The device is fully certified to EN 362 and EN 12275 standards for personal protective equipment. These ratings confirm the hardware is suitable for fall arrest systems and mountaineering applications. Professionals can rely on these verified safety standards for diverse work-at-height tasks.
How does the palm squeeze mechanism improve safety?
The mechanism requires a specific dual-action squeeze to open the gate, preventing accidental gate activation. This feature is essential in environments where equipment might rub against ropes or structures. It provides a passive locking benefit that simplifies secure handling for the user.
What are the primary dimensions of the hardware?
This connector measures 136 mm (5.35 in) in length and 71 mm (2.80 in) in width. It features a generous 25 mm (0.98 in) gate opening to accommodate various anchor points. These dimensions make it a versatile tool for complex rigging and safety connections.
Is the gate prone to snagging during use?
No, the unit utilizes a keylock closure system rather than a traditional wire notch. This smooth interface prevents the carabiner from catching on gear or anchor hangers during installation. It streamlines workflow efficiency by providing snag-free clipping and unclipping performance.
What is the maximum weight capacity of the connector?
The hardware is rated for a major axis load of 33 kN (7,418 lbs) when properly closed. Under minor axis loading, the capacity is 8 kN (1,798 lbs), and it maintains 12 kN (2,697 lbs) when the gate is open. These high values ensure structural integrity under significant force.
