10mm Oval

Compact, strong and hard wearing and versatile in application. The oval shape helps centralise attachments when loaded, minimising the unnerving jumping of equipment associated with D shaped connectors.

Oval carabiner for rigging stability and central positioning of attachments

Oval carabiners have curved rope baskets for compatibility with slings, ropes, pulleys, and devices. The baskets allow attachments to self-centre when loaded, giving greater stability in systems that D shaped carabiners. Their symmetry allows them to work both ways in rigging systems.

Smooth internal shape for ease of rotation through attachment eyes

The Oval's round rope baskets allow it to be easily rotated through attachment points for easy system connection and configuration.

10mm bar section for lightness and strength

10mm bar balances steel's natural strength and durability with low weight for easy transportation.

Cold forged and heat treated steel for high strength and durability

Steel carabiners are very strong and hard wearing, making them suitable for scenarios with high loads and heavy use. Cold forging means carabiners retain full section bars for consistent rope handling, while heat treatment results in high tensile strength.

Kwiklock - Auto-locking gate requiring two separate actions to open. Kwiklock gates are suitable when auto-locking gates are a necessity, but rigging systems are relatively static and anchor points are easy to monitor.

ANSI Kwiklock - A very strong auto-locking gate requiring two separate actions to open. Kwiklock gates are suitable when auto-locking gates are a necessity, but rigging systems are relatively static and anchor points are easy to monitor. ANSI
Kwiklock gates rate to a minimum 16kN in minor axis, side loading and gate face loading tests, and conform to ANSI Z359.12 (2009).

Locksafe - An auto-locking gate requiring three separate actions to open. Locksafe gates give extra security in complex rigging systems such as those featuring running ropes or remote anchor points.

ANSI Locksafe - A very strong auto-locking gate requiring three separate actions to open. Locksafe gates give extra security in complex rigging systems such as those featuring running ropes and remote anchors. ANSI Locksafe gates rate to a minimum 16kN in minor axis, side loading and gate face loading tests, and conform to ANSI Z359.12 (2009).

Screwgate - Non auto-locking gate which requires two actions to open, and is easy to use with one hand. Screwgates are suitable in systems where anchor points can be easily monitored and are unlikely to be affected by running ropes.
