ISC is delighted to launch its latest specialist karabiner the KH215 LINK a successor to the original Troll Link karabiner used commonly on Troll lanyards.

The LINK is fully compliant with CE EN362:2004 and offers an MBS of 25kN/5500lbs. It weighs 90g/3.15oz or less and has a gate opening of at least 15mm/5/8” and is available in all common gate types including 3-way supersafe and 4-way Quadlock. It comes as standard in a grey anodised finish with the usual colour coded barrels for easy identification of gate type. The web slot will accommodate up to 30mm/2 ½” webbing.

     

The LINK is unique in its design because of its flat bottom and parallel captive pin.

It was used extensively by the military in single and double lanyards to ensure that the karabiner always maintained the correct orientation when fitted to a webbing lanyard and therefore preventing the possibility of incorrect loading across a weak axis. A few years ago the tooling became redundant due to the original supplier going out of business but ISC bought the tooling and has spent some time improving it and is now finally able to release the product once again.

     
Although unusual in its design there are several small benefits to this karabiner. AAK As in Norway (www.AAK.no) use it extensively on their lanyards used by rope access teams working in the North Sea (troll lanyard picture to go here) and recommend it for the following reasons;

 

   
  • It ensures the correct orientation at all times making it safer and easier to use
  • It reduces abrasion at the eye of the lanyard
  • It looks professional – designed specifically for the job
