Most carabiners are rated to 23kN, which is close to 5000 lbf. I warn, if you compromise the alloy structure of the 'beaner you significantly reduce its integrity, thus its holding strength. So if a team is going to use (aluminum) climbing 'beaners you need to design a coupling device that does not drill, cut or otherwise damage the unit. Steel ones are another story.
