Compatibility: When making connections with 3-Way SRL, 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 3-Way SRL 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
