Connectors, Links & Swivels

Our anodized aluminum swivels are available in two sizes to allow users to select the strength, weight and dimensions best suited to their specific needs. Whether used in a rescue haul system, helicopter operations, or rope access, the addition of a swivel can help prevent system lines from wrapping around each other, while at the same time reducing spin caused by loading a free-hanging rope.

Rescue Swivel

Lightweight and high strength, this standard-size swivel for litter systems features symmetrical holes to accommodate multiple carabiners. High-speed, multi-axis CNC machining delivers a full-featured swivel at a reduced price for the best value in the industry.

ProSeries Swivel

Designed to repeatedly perform at high loads, this larger swivels special bearing supports a much higher working load than other swivels without damage to the bearing perfect for heavy system loads. The larger size makes it compatible with helicopter short haul line equipment.

The Am’D lightweight asymmetrical carabiner is made of aluminum. It has a D shape particularly suited for connection to diverse equipment such as descenders or positioning lanyards. Its fluid interior design and Keylock system facilitate handling. The Am’D carabiner is available in three locking systems: automatic TRIACT-LOCK or BALL-LOCK system, or the manual SCREW-LOCK system. Am'D may be used with a CAPTIV positioning bar to favor loading of the carabiner along the major axis, to limit the risk of it flipping and to keep it integrated with the device.

Details

• D shape is particularly suited for connection to equipment such as descenders or positioning lanyards
  
• Aluminum carabiner whose light weight reduces the weight of equipment the worker at height needs to carry
  
• May be used with a CAPTIV positioning bar to favor loading of the carabiner along the major axis, to limit the risk of it flipping and to keep it integrated with the device
  
• Easier handling:
  - fluid interior design limits the risk of having a catch point and facilitates rotation of the carabiner
  - Keylock system to avoid any involuntary snagging of the carabiner
  
• H cross-section:
  - ensures an improved strength-to-weight ratio
  - protects markings from abrasion
  
• Available in three different locking systems:
  - TRIACT-LOCK: automatic locking with triple-action gate opening

Reed Thorne of Ropes That Rescue designed this connector to perform as a quick, one-handed attachment to a structure for maximum safety when placing belay protection. It provides quick connections to towers and other structures when protecting an ascent using a lead-climbing technique. The custom-designed aluminum ring reduces weight and provides a wide, smooth-bearing surface for the rope. The 1-in (25 mm) web has red wear indicators for easy inspection. The double-locking carabiner gate can be opened with one hand. Exceeds OSHA minimum strength requirement of 22.2 kN (5,000 lbf) for anchorage connectors.

Working-At-Height / Industrial Rope Access / Technical Rope Rescue
Working at height requires reliable, quality equipment. The Azzard Tower Climbing Connector can be used with confidence in work-at-height maneuvers for industrial rope access or technical rope rescue when used in accordance with the regulatory safety standards it falls under. Always use life safety equipment and gear according to the regulatory safety standards for which it is classified and/or certified.
