Answer:
A kN is around 220 lbs so a 23kN gear is rated at around 5060 lbs "One kiloNewton (kN) is the force required to change the inertia of a mass of a little over 220 pounds. Simplified, a piece of gear rated to one kN will hold 220 pounds. A carabiner rated to 24 kN will hold about 5,000 pounds."

approximately 5,400 lbs
If, for example, the number reads 24 kN, it means that if the carabiner is closed and loaded end to end, it can withstand approximately 5,400 lbs of force before it becomes inoperable.
