RGK6 – Aluminium Large Gate Karabiner

The RGK6 is a lightweight version of the RGK5. Like the RGK5, this RGK6 has a large gate opening allowing attachment to scaffolding and steel structures.

This karabiner is fitted with a twistlock closure which locks automatically. It can be fitted to fall arrest lanyards, but is normally seen connected to ropes and used with rope grab systems to provide vertical protection.
Used throughout the industry as part of a protection system on portable ladders. It also has the option of fitting a captive pin, allowing permanent fixture to the lanyard.
