Product Detail
The Petzl OK Oval Triact Lock Carabiner is a top - notch, lightweight oval - shaped carabiner crafted from aluminum. Its symmetrical oval form is a game - changer as it enables optimal loading of wide - section devices like pulleys, rope clamps, and mobile fall arresters. This carabiner significantly reduces the weight of equipment that high - altitude workers need to carry, thanks to its light aluminum construction. You can pair it with a CAPTIV positioning bar, which helps in loading the carabiner along the major axis, keeps it integrated with the device, and minimizes the risk of flipping. Handling this carabiner is a breeze. Its fluid interior design cuts down the risk of catch points and makes the carabiner rotate smoothly. The Keylock system is a great addition, preventing any accidental snagging. The H cross - section not only offers an excellent strength - to - weight ratio but also protects the markings from wear and tear. You have three locking system options: the TRIACT - LOCK for automatic locking with triple - action gate opening, the BALL - LOCK with automatic locking, triple - action gate opening, and a lock indicator, and the SCREW - LOCK, a manual screw - lock with a red band that gives a visual warning when the carabiner is unlocked. With a weight of 75 g, a major axis strength of 25 kN, a minor axis strength of 8 kN, an open gate strength of 7 kN, and a gate opening of 22 mm, it's a reliable choice for various applications.
Using the Petzl OK Oval Triact Lock Carabiner is straightforward. First, select the right locking system for your needs. If you choose the automatic TRIACT - LOCK or BALL - LOCK, you can quickly secure it with a simple action. For the SCREW - LOCK, just turn the screw to lock and unlock, and keep an eye on the red band. When attaching it to devices like pulleys or rope clamps, make sure it's loaded along the major axis, especially when using the CAPTIV positioning bar. This will ensure proper function and reduce the risk of flipping. As for maintenance, regularly check the carabiner for any signs of wear, like abrasions on the markings or damage to the locking mechanism. Clean it with a mild soap and water solution and dry it thoroughly. Avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures, as this can affect its performance and durability. Always store it in a dry place when not in use.
