Ridgegear – RGK5 56mm Steel Twistlock Scaffold Karabiner with Captive Pin

The RIDGEGEAR RGK5 is a heavy-duty steel scaffold karabiner featuring a large 56mm gate opening, making it ideal for direct connection to steel structures, scaffolding, and industrial frameworks. Its wide opening often eliminates the need for slings, allowing the user to connect directly to anchor points, streamlining setup and reducing gear load.

Commonly used on twin-leg lanyards for climbing masts, towers, and steelwork, the RGK5 is fitted with a twistlock closure, which locks automatically for enhanced user safety. This auto-locking mechanism ensures that the karabiner cannot open accidentally, offering peace of mind in high-risk environments.

The captive pin feature maintains correct alignment and prevents accidental disconnection from the lanyard, reinforcing its suitability for rigorous at-height operations. Built from high-strength steel and certified to EN 362:2004, the RGK5 delivers strength, reliability, and compliance in demanding industrial settings.
