ALUMINUM CARABINER OVAL TWIST GATE SLACKLINE

Oval Aluminum Carabiner with Twist Gate

This oval carabiner has a 0.8 inch (20 mm) gate opening, a breaking strength of 24 kN, and weighs only 2.47 oz (70 grams). Made from high-tenacity anodized aluminum, it features a purple body and a light blue gate. Its symmetrical oval shape is larger than classic oval carabiners, providing better webbing positioning when sliding.

The aluminum construction makes this carabiner very lightweight.

Carabiner Usage Guide

Designed for linear loads, this carabiner is perfect for creating a primitive pulley system with your slackline.

Importance of 2-Axial Loading

Carabiners are designed to link two elements and work only in 2-axial loading, on the rounded part of the carabiner. If you use a carabiner as the main anchor of your longline, with a sling around the tree, you are working in tri-directional load. This is allowed only with a working load limit below 4 kN (the force of one person pulling a primitive system) and a working angle of the slings around the tree lower than 30°.

Preventing Slackline Damage

Equipped with a KEY-LOCK system (catch-free), this carabiner has a completely smooth contact point between the gate and the body, with no hook for the gate. This prevents webbing damage when opening or closing the gate.

Warnings and Limitations

Always make sure the twist gate is closed and locked before use. This carabiner is not compatible with 2 inch (50 mm) webbing and must not be used for trickline, jump lines, or climbing. Do not exceed a 4 kN working load limit in the system or a 30° working angle with slings around the tree. If in doubt, replace the carabiner with a SHACKLE designed for tri-directional loads.
