Skylotec FS 90 ST ANSI Forged Steel Scaffold Karabiner
Skylotec FS 90 ST ANSI Forged Steel Scaffold Karabiner
A forged steel karabiner with palm lock and a 60 mm maximum gate opening. It is the heavy duty hook of the range, rated well above the standard steel connectors alongside it.

What does the ANSI version add?
Strength. It is forged steel with a stated 50 kN body rating and a 16 kN gate rating, well above the 23 kN of the standard steel hooks in this range.
Why does the gate rating matter?
A gate rating is what the connector will take if it is loaded across the gate rather than along the spine. A 16 kN gate is what makes a hook forgiving of the loading you did not plan for.
How wide does it open?
60 mm.
How heavy is it?
0.82 kg.
