Safety Direct Carabiners — Steel & Aluminum
Complete lineup of CSA Z259.12-certified connecting carabiners for Canadian fall protection systems. Steel and aluminum options with captive-eye, auto-lock, and triple-lock variants.
Key Features
- CSA Z259.12-16 certified — all models meet or exceed the 16 kN (3,600 lbf) minimum gate-strength requirement for Canadian fall protection connectors.
- Steel + aluminum options — choose steel for abrasion and strength, aluminum for weight reduction on long harness-to-anchor configurations.
- Captive-eye and standard models — captive-eye pin prevents roll-out when connected to an energy absorber or D-ring.
- Auto-locking + triple-lock gates — eliminate accidental gate opening during dynamic movement.
- Gate openings from 17 mm to 50 mm (1.96") — select based on the anchor or D-ring diameter you need to clear.
