DescriptionProfessionals requiring lightweight and secure hardware will find the FORAS TRIPLE LOCK carabiner to be a critical equipment upgrade. Designed specifically for narrow webbing up to 25 mm (0.98 in), this connector utilizes an innovative side-opening mechanism to maximize clearance. Its H-profile construction ensures a high strength-to-weight ratio for rigorous industrial or rescue applications.Full SpecificationsWeight: 51 g (0.11 lbs)Major Axis Breaking Strain: 23 kNGate Opening Width: 15 mm (0.59 in)Product Length: 81 mm (3.19 in)Product Width: 48 mm (1.89 in)Material: High-strength AluminumClosure Mechanism: Automatic Triple LockCertification: EN 362Webbing Compatibility: Maximum 25 mm (0.98 in)Optimized Geometry for Narrow WebbingThe FORAS is engineered to prevent webbing slippage by maintaining a slim profile. It accommodates straps up to 25 mm (0.98 in) while ensuring the connector remains properly aligned. This specialized design addresses the needs of modern, lightweight equipment configurations.Advanced Side-Opening Gate PerformanceThe innovative side-opening gate provides a generous 15 mm (0.59 in) clearance. This mechanical layout allows for easy clipping despite the carabiner’s compact external dimensions. The H-profile construction further optimizes material use to achieve a 23 kN breaking strain.Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat are the safety benefits of the Triple Lock mechanism?The Triple Lock mechanism requires three distinct actions to open, which significantly reduces the risk of accidental gate opening. This automatic locking system ensures the gate is securely fastened immediately after release. It is a preferred choice for high-stakes environments where redundant safety is mandatory.How does the H-profile construction affect performance?The H-profile design allows for maximum strength while maintaining a minimal weight of only 51 g (0.11 lbs). By removing excess material where it is not required, the carabiner achieves a 23 kN major axis rating. This provides a high technical performance standard without adding bulk to a technician’s kit.What size webbing is compatible with this carabiner?This carabiner is specifically designed to accept webbing up to 25 mm (0.98 in) in width. Its ultra-narrow shape prevents thinner straps from shifting or bunching during use. This ensures the load remains centered on the major axis for maximum safety.Why is the side-opening gate significant?Standard narrow carabiners often suffer from restricted gate clearance, but the side-opening gate creates a wide 15 mm (0.59 in) aperture. This allows for smooth attachment to anchors and gear even in cramped conditions. It solves the traditional trade-off between a slim profile and ease of use.Which industrial certifications does the FORAS hold?The FORAS TRIPLE LOCK is fully certified to EN 362 standards for hardware connectors. This certification confirms it meets the rigorous safety requirements for professional height safety and rescue operations. Users can rely on its verified 23 kN strength for technical work.�� Are you looking for a specific Edelrid item that is not listed in the shop?
