A connector 1 for supporting a load comprises a hook portion 2 and a gate member 6, operably connected to an operating member 4. An additional operating member 5 may also be provided, having an operative connection to member 4 so that member 4 may only be actuated when operating member 5 is actuated concurrently. The connector is selectively configurable between an open and a closed position. If the connector is opened when a load bearing member is attached, a member 7 urges the load bearing member out of the hook. The gate may be urged towards the closed position by a spring when the operating member is released.
