Compatibility:

 When making PFAS connections, eliminate all possibility of roll-out. Roll-out

occurs when interference between a hook and the attachment point causes the hook gate to
unintentionally open and release. All connections must be selected and deemed compatible
with The Rack by a Competent Person. All connector gates must be self-closing and self-locking,
and withstand minimum loads of 3,600 lbs. See the following for examples of
compatible/incompatible connections:

Connector

locked to
D-ring. 

OK.

Two or more
snap hooks or
carabiners
connected to
each other. 

NO.
