Description
Engineered in Austria for high-risk industrial rigging, rope access, and professional personal protective equipment (PPE), the AustriAlpin ASYMM OVAL XL 3-Way Autolock (Model TP35AK3) is an extra-large hybrid steel carabiner designed for maximum safety. Combining the optimal positioning and load-centering benefits of an oval shape with the structural strength of an asymmetrical profile, its XL body offers an extra-wide 29 mm gate opening to effortlessly accommodate multiple ropes, thick webbing, pulleys, and rigging plates. Crafted from zinc-plated steel and featuring an automatic 3-way autolock mechanism ("lift, twist, and push") with a solid brass sleeve, it requires three deliberate actions to open eliminating the risk of accidental gate release while resisting thread binding and mechanical wear in harsh field conditions.
How To Use
-
Opening & Locking: Slide the brass locking sleeve upward, twist it 90 degrees, and push the gate inward to open. Position your ropes, pulleys, or anchor connections. Release the gate to allow the internal spring mechanism to snap shut and auto-lock instantly.
-
Rigging Alignment: Center your pulleys, ropes, or rigging hardware within the oval curve to maintain optimal load balance along the main spine.
-
Maintenance & Inspection: Keep the brass locking sleeve clear of grit, sand, and chalk. Clean with warm fresh water, dry thoroughly, and apply a drop of dry lubricant to the pivot and locking sleeve periodically.
