SMC
SMC’s Large Steel Locking D was developed especially for the needs of the fire and rescue communities with a large gate opening that easily fits over litter rails. The sleeve locks on the gate rather than the body of the carabiner, eliminating problems of the knob binding on the frame after the carabiner has been loaded. Features stainless steel gates and locking sleeves for greater strength and reliability plus all the components in this carabiner are meticulously hand-finished after machining resulting in the smooth, free gate action that is the hallmark of all SMC carabiners. Additionally, each carabiner is 100% hand-inspected for gate action and other functional characteristics before leaving our factory. If you want a carabiner that performs the just as well after 100 jobs as it did the first time you used it, then you need to buy this one. Available in Bright plated or Black zinc plated finish (frame/gate/sleeve) for tactical operations. All SMC NFPA products are third party tested (by Underwriters Laboratories - UL) as required by NFPA 1983 (2001 edition) standards. All SMC NFPA carabiners have the required certification information stamped on the frame and the user information is enclosed with each item as required by NFPA. Weight: 10.6 oz (311g). Dimensions: 5.04" x 2.97" x 1.20". Material: Steel Alloy, Zinc Plated. Strength: 10,341 lbf - 46kN (3 Sigma) Major 46kN, Minor 16kN. NFPA G-General Use 40kN.

Currently one of the largest and strongest NFPA certified carabiners on the market. The offset D shape and large gate opening easily fit over a standard 1.25" ladder rung and most litter rails making this carabiner an indispensable tool for firefighting, rescue and industrial use. Features a stainless steel gate and locking sleeve for greater strength and reliability. Sleeve locks on the gate rather than the body of the carabiner, which eliminates problems of the knob binding on the frame after the carabiner has been loaded. The zinc-plated finish on the frame resists corrosion and rust even when scratched. All components of this carabiner are meticulously hand-finished after machining, contributing to the smooth, free gate action that is the hallmark of all SMC carabiners.

SMC Aluminum Oval D

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

SMC

SMC
The SMC oval was one of the first aluminum carabiners manufactured in the US in the 1960s. It is a classic traditional carabiner, a functional design that has stood the test of time. A major benefit of using a ”true” oval carabiner is that it is very difficult to load incorrectly and the forces are equalized between the pulley and other equipment, ropes and anchors. Balancing the load equally on the spine and the gate allows the carabiner to maintain full strength under a variety of conditions. The frame is slightly asymmetrical (flattened) for increased strength. Ovals are most often used in critical climbing or rescue applications where a stuck gate must be avoided, and then are always used as pairs, rigged opposite/opposed. All critical dimensions are held to close tolerances and detailed inspection procedures are carried out during all production operations. Sharp edges resulting from machining operations have been heavily radiused to help protect rope and webbing from abrasion. Always 100% hand-inspected, it is this careful attention to detail and precision craftsmanship insure that these to be among the finest aluminum carabiners you can buy. Available in either Bright or Black for tactical use.
