Falltech 8445 Carabiner for Fall Protection

The Falltech 8445 is a steel carabiner built for fall-protection systems and meets ANSI Z 359.12-2009 together with OSHA 1910.66 and 1926.502. Its offset-D shape and bronze finish suit workers who need a rated anchor connector with a 425 lb working capacity and 5,000 lb tensile strength.

Double-Locking Gate Installation and Common Issues

The double-locking gate requires two deliberate actions to open, reducing accidental release during use. Gate opening measures 7/8 in; verify the anchor or lanyard eye fits before committing weight. Mis-threading the gate or skipping the second lock step are the typical errors that compromise security.

Suited for Rated Fall-Arrest Anchors.

This connector serves technicians who need a compliant fall-arrest attachment point on harnesses or anchor straps. It is not rated for general material handling or overhead lifting, so riggers who need a lifting-rated shackle should select a different device.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the double-locking gate is functioning correctly after first use?

Operate the gate through several open-close cycles; it must require two distinct actions to open and snap shut automatically each time, meeting the ANSI Z 359.12-2009 and OSHA 1910.66 / 1926.502 requirements.

What is included with the carabiner and what must be purchased separately?

The unit is the FALLTECH 8445 carabiner only, bronze steel with a 7/8 in gate opening and offset-D shape; no captive eye, retaining pin, lanyard or connector is supplied.

Which version should I choose for a 425 lb working load?

This single model is rated for a 425 lb weight capacity and 5,000 lb tensile strength, so it covers the stated requirement without needing a different capacity variant.
