Pirate Up-Lock Carabiner - 26kN

SOUTHERN CROSS EQUIPMENT Pirate Up-Lock Carabiner

Unrivaled strength and smooth operation for demanding environments.

The Pirate Up-Lock Carabiner combines robust construction with innovative safety features, making it a top choice for professionals and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The carabiner’s pear-shaped (HMS) frame accepts a wide range of gear, webbing, or ropes, whether used as a belay device on your harness or a key connector in complex rigging systems.

Designed with a durable 0.5" diameter round-stock aluminum frame, the Pirate withstands abuse from dirty ropes and metal connectors, outlasting stamped carabiners with thin edges. The snag-resistant keylock nose and large, ergonomic angled gate opening ensure smooth handling and reliable security.

The unique 3-stage Up-Lock gate mechanism features a push-up-and-twist action for quick, secure locking. Beveled edges on the gate and sleeve minimize the risk of dangerous cross-loading, providing a safer and smoother interface with your gear and ropes.

With a breaking strength of 26 kN (5,845 lb), this carabiner is built to perform under extreme loads. Weighing just 80 grams, it is lightweight for its size, yet engineered for impressive service life, whether you're working in arboriculture, rescue, climbing, or industrial applications.
