Vaultex Easy 309 Carabiner, breaking Strength 20kN

Key specs: max user weight 100 kg, fall-arrest strength up to 25 kN, maximum working length 6 m, rope diameter 4.8 mm stainless steel, polyamide casing, and included components (steel karabiner, swivel alloy, steel snap hook, conduit rope). EN 360:2002 compliance is stated.

Included: Vaultex fall arrester unit with a 4.8 mm stainless steel rope, a steel karabiner, a swivel alloy, a steel snap hook, and the conduit rope necessary for operation.

Before use, inspect the unit for damage. Attach the steel karabiner to a suitable anchor point, clip the harness as per the manufacturer’s harness guidelines, and ensure the rope is free of twists and obstructions. Move slowly along the rope path, keeping a stable stance, and pause if you need to reposition. After use, re-check the equipment for wear or damage.

This fall arrester is designed to comply with EN 360:2002 safety standards, aligning with common requirements for fall-arrest devices used in rope-access and height-safety scenarios.

Ideal for workers performing at heights in construction, maintenance, industrial rope access, and other scenarios where a controlled arrest along a rope is needed to protect from falls.

Unlike a simple carabiner, this device integrates a fall-arrest rope system, housing, and components that enable automatic or assisted arrest along a defined rope length, with compliance to EN 360:2002. It’s designed for use with appropriate anchors and harnesses, not as a standalone connector.

It is designed to work with standard height-safety harnesses and anchor points commonly used in professional fall-protection setups. Always verify compatibility with your specific harness model and anchor system per the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Regularly inspect the polyamide housing for cracks or wear, check the 4.8 mm stainless steel rope for frays or corrosion, and test the locking mechanisms. Clean components as needed and store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Replace any worn or damaged parts immediately.

Consider the working length you need (6 m here), the maximum user weight (100 kg), the required fall-arrest strength (25 kN), the rope diameter (4.8 mm), and the included components. Also assess EN 360:2002 compliance, ease of inspection, and the availability of replacement parts or service.

Yes. Always conduct a pre-use inspection, ensure the rope path is clear, avoid sharp edges on anchors, test movement on a controlled section before full deployment, and follow your site’s fall-protection plan. Use compatible harnesses and anchors, and avoid loading beyond the stated 100 kg max weight and 25 kN strength.
