Use: The connectors are mainly used as connection elements between different components (eg : harness/lanyard). They can also be used as anchor points. In any case the connectors should work along the major axis, and in one direction at a time. They should be locked (screw or automatic) during their use and should not be used on a outside support area.
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:
Screw-locking
|
Double action
|
Triple action
|
|
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

All our connectors are supplied with a steel anti corrosion zinc electroplating which provides them an excellent corrosion resistance.
