Who Needs This Product
Every connection in a fall protection system runs through a rated connector, and OSHA requires them to be self-closing and self-locking. FallTech's Z07 series carabiners carry 3,600 lb gate ratings in steel and aluminum with triple-lock gates, sized from 7/8 in up to 2-1/4 in openings for everything from D-rings to angle iron.

Complies
Complies with ANSI Z359.12-2009.
Compatibility kills or saves. A connector must fully close and lock on its mating hardware; a gate resting on an oversized member can roll out under load. Match the gate opening to the hardware and load the spine only.
Compliance Standards
ANSI Z359.12-2009
Applicable requirement for this equipment: ANSI Z359.12-2009.
OSHA 1926.502
Construction fall protection criteria for personal fall arrest system components, including connectors, lanyards, and lifelines.
Typical Applications
How to Use
Follow the FallTech instruction manual. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Match the opening. Choose the gate size for what you are clipping: 7/8 in for D-rings, 2-1/4 in for angle and pipe.
- Check compatibility. The connector must close and lock fully on the mating hardware with no side-loading.
- Triple-lock to open. Twist and pull the gate per the Z07 design; it self-locks on release.
- Load the spine. Keep loads on the major axis, never across the gate.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect before each use, with a documented competent person inspection at least annually.
- Gate: closes and locks by itself from any position.
- Body: no cracks, deep nicks, or corrosion.
- Rivets and springs: tight and functional.
Retirement triggers: any fall loading, a gate that fails to self-lock, or visible damage.
