Auto-Lock Carabiner for Fall Protection

The Condor 16V858 is a pear-shaped carabiner built for fall-arrest and positioning systems used by tower crews, riggers and rope-access technicians. Its double-action twist-lock gate requires two distinct movements to open, reducing the chance of accidental release while working at height. The zinc-plated alloy steel body resists corrosion in outdoor environments.

Double-Action Twist-Lock Gate

The lock type is the single specification that determines whether this connector matches your safety plan. A double-action twist lock meets the ANSI Z359.12 and CSA Z259.12 requirements for self-closing, self-locking gates mandated by OSHA 1910.140. If your site protocol specifies a different gate mechanism — such as a screw-lock or triple-action — this unit will not comply.

420 lb Working Capacity

The carabiner is rated for a 420 lb maximum working load and a 5,000 lb minimum tensile strength, providing a wide margin for dynamic arrest forces. A 2 in gate opening accommodates large-diameter anchor slings, steel D-rings and compatible hardware. It is not suited for loads exceeding the stated working capacity or for permanent fixed rigging where a captive-eye connector is required.

Questions about this item

How much weight can the 420 lb capacity actually support in a fall-arrest system?

The 420 lb working capacity is the maximum user weight allowed when the carabiner is used in a personal fall-arrest system that meets ANSI Z359.12 and OSHA 1910.140 requirements.

What does the double-action twist lock gate actually prevent during use?

The double-action twist lock requires two distinct motions to open, reducing the chance of accidental gate release caused by vibration or contact with structures while the 2 in gate opening stays closed.

Will the 8-1/8 in overall length fit through standard anchor points on a harness?

With a 7-1/2 in inside length and 3-7/8 in inside width, the pear-shaped body clears most harness attachment points and lanyard eyes while the zinc-plated alloy steel resists corrosion.
