Skylotec FS 90 ALU Aluminium Scaffold Karabiner
Skylotec FS 90 ALU Aluminium Scaffold Karabiner
An aluminium karabiner with palm safety and a 60 mm maximum gate opening. It gives the reach of a 60 mm hook at roughly half the weight of the steel equivalent, which is what makes it the one that actually gets carried.
The one hand locking system lets the gate be operated single handed. It is a captive eye connector with a 29 mm inner eyelet and a minimum breaking strength of 22 kN on the major axis, measuring 238 by 117 mm and weighing 0.47 kg, in orange and silver, with a stated maximum service life of 30 years. It is a Type A connector certified to EN 362:2004/A.
The pole mounted version is the FS 90 AL Teleskop, and the steel equivalents are the FS 90 ST and FS 90 ST ANSI. Full range in karabiners, maillons and hooks.

Why choose aluminium over steel?
Weight. At 0.47 kg it weighs about the same as the smaller 50 mm steel hook while opening to 60 mm, and a worker carrying two hooks all day notices the difference.
How wide does it open?
60 mm, with a 29 mm inner eyelet.
Can it be used on a rescue pole?
The version with a telescopic pole coupling is a separate item, the FS 90 AL Teleskop. This one is the standard hook.
What is the rating?
22 kN minimum breaking strength on the major axis, to EN 362:2004/A.
