How to choose ?

Differents criteria must be taken into consideration

Opening / locking system:

• Screw locking system: to be reserved for occasional manipulation;
• Automatic locking system: to be used for frequent handling.

Our connectors have the following colour coding:

Shape:

• Oval, use essentially with equipment that have 2 points in support on the connector (eg: pulley...);
• Asymmetric, used in priority because it allows the proper positioning between the two connected components;
• Large size, used to anchor on metal structures or large sizes;
• Quick link, used when you want to make a quasi permanent connection between two components.

Material:

• Steel, adapted to difficult conditions, these connectors are mainly used for fixed anchors or for connecting to metal structures;
• Aluminium, to be preferred when weight is an important criterion for the work to be performed (eg,rescue).

Opening :

• Connector with an opening<30 mm, mainly used as connection element;
• Connector with an opening>30 mm, mainly used as anchor element on a structure.

The resistance must also be taken into account when choosing connectors
