Selection & enquiry guidance

Choosing height safety connectors and hooks for the application

Connectors, hooks and karabiners form part of a complete height-safety or access system. The correct item depends on the equipment it connects to, gate opening, locking method, loading direction and the intended fall-protection, work-positioning or rescue arrangement.

Compatibility

Identify the harness, lanyard, anchor or rescue equipment that the connector must interface with.

Opening and locking

Gate size and locking method need to suit the connection point and the way the connector will be handled.

System purpose

Tell us whether the connector is for restraint, fall arrest, positioning, access or rescue equipment.

Common questions

Height safety connectors and hooks enquiries

How do I identify the correct safety connector?

Send the application, equipment being connected, required gate opening and any existing product reference or photographs.

Can any karabiner be used in a fall-protection system?

Do not select a connector by appearance alone. The connector must be suitable for the intended system, loading direction and compatible equipment.

Need help specifying the requirement?

Send the application details you have and the Durham Lifting team can review what is needed for a quotation.
