LC-208 CK4 Oval Alloy D-Karabiner 23 kN

Karabiners & Connectors (EN 362)

The PGTEC LC-208 CK4 is an oval-shaped aluminium alloy D-karabiner built to EN 362 for rope access, rescue and industrial fall-protection systems where a wide gate and smooth loading geometry matter. Forged from 7075-series aluminium and anodised silver, the oval body delivers 23 kN along the major axis, 7 kN across the minor axis and 7 kN on the gate, with a generous 25 mm gate opening that lets the user clip two or three slings, a lanyard and a rope in a single connection. The oval shape distributes load evenly around the body, making it ideal for building rigging plates, anchor slings, pulley systems and rescue haul lines. The screw-sleeve gate locks by hand twist and stays closed in vertical use; the large, rounded nose is designed to avoid snagging on rope fibres and webbing edges. At only 105 g, the CK4 is light enough that it can be carried in numbers on a harness without adding fatigue, and the anodised finish resists corrosion on coastal and offshore rope-access jobs. The CK4 is commonly paired with the PGTEC AS1 flat anchor sling or AS2 endless round sling to build anchor points on steel columns, concrete edges and roof structures. Every unit is proof-load tested, batch-marked and CE labelled.
