Kong X-Large Steel Straight Gate Carabiner

Kong X-Large Steel Straight Gate Carabiner 

Elevate your rigging and rescue operations with the Kong X-Large Carbon Steel Straight Gate Carabiner—a robust Italian-engineered connector built for durability and reliable performance. Constructed from high-strength carbon steel and finished with a Lunar White Zinc-Nickel coating, it offers twice the corrosion resistance and smoother interactions with rope and textiles.

Its D-shape design ensures loads are focused along the major axis, reducing twist and enhancing safety. The Keylock gate system provides snag-free clipping and unloading, while the wide 29 mm gate opening is ideal for fast, confident connections—even with gloves on.

Compact yet powerful, this carabiner measures 114 mm x 77 mm, weighs 236 g, and supports high-strength loads (approx. 50 kN major axis, 13 kN minor axis). Certified to EN 12275 and industrial standards like EN 362 / ANSI Z359.12, it’s performance tested piece by piece and carries an unlimited lifetime guarantee. Perfect for professionals in climbing, rescue, or industrial settings demanding uncompromising quality and reliability.
