SMC LITE ALLOY STEEL LOCKING CARABINER, NFPA | Bright
The SMC Lite Alloy Steel Locking Carabiner is a high-strength, compact steel connector designed for technical rescue, confined space operations, fire rescue, and professional rope systems. Manufactured in the United States, this NFPA-rated carabiner delivers exceptional strength and durability in a smaller, lighter configuration than traditional full-size steel rescue carabiners.
Constructed from zinc-plated alloy steel, the Lite Alloy Steel features a stainless steel gate and locking sleeve for dependable operation in demanding environments. Its compact design provides the strength of a steel rescue connector while reducing the bulk associated with larger models.
With a 45 kN major-axis minimum breaking strength and a 23.9 mm gate opening, the carabiner is suitable for compatible rescue anchoring, rigging, and rope connection applications.
The SMC Lite Alloy Steel is especially useful for cave rescue, mountain rescue, confined space operations, and emergency response teams requiring dependable steel connectors.
