Description
Engineered in Austria for heavy-duty industrial rigging, rope access, and personal protective equipment (PPE), the AustriAlpin ASYMM OVAL XL 2-Way Autolock (Model TP35AK) is an extra-large hybrid steel carabiner. Combining the optimal position and load-centering benefits of an oval shape with the structural strength of an asymmetrical profile, its XL frame offers an exceptionally wide 29 mm gate opening to easily accommodate multiple ropes, thick webbing, pulleys, and rigging plates. Crafted from zinc-plated steel and featuring an automatic 2-way autolock mechanism ("twist and push") with a solid brass sleeve, it ensures fast, reliable locking while resisting thread binding and mechanical wear in dirty or harsh field conditions.
How To Use
-
Opening & Locking: Twist the brass locking sleeve 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 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.
