Rigging Set

These steel carabiners are exceptionally strong, and an aerialist’s best friend. We offer two body styles for our carabiners: Oval, D They are all steel and made with a robust, two phase, autolocking gate which can be operated with one hand. The Oval carabiners have the smallest, lightest body and spin the smoothest. We recommend them for lyra setups and other apparatus where spinning is key. The downside to the oval carabiners is that they DO NOT fit onto our beam clamps. The D carabiners have a slightly larger gate opening and fit great onto our beam clamps. They are the recommended carabiner if you are rigging in a wide variety of places/venues/stages. This is a much more versatile carabiner than the oval. Easy to use, and extremely safe. These carabiners will last for years with proper care and always keep you safe with every flight. These carabiners are made from high-Strength alloy steel with a wide gate to accommodate any apparatus we sell. They are all rated for 25kN or more and are exceptionally robust and durable.
