Specifications for washing HV power transmission lines
Item of equipment used by people climbing up electricity pylons to wash insulators in Chile. "Mosquetón" is a carabiner, but I have no idea what "estructurero" might refer to. Any ideas?

Comment: "I am selecting this one because of the references, which led me to this page (http://www.bogong.com.au/petzl-mgo-60-carabiner-scaffold-hook.html), which gave me "scaffold hook", which seems to be what it is."

carabiner to be used in conjunction with ring/anchor/rope
I think this is what is meant (see first link)
I suppose you could say "structural carabiner" or carabiner used for structures/buildings or working at height
