The PETZL Am’D TRIACT-LOCK Carabiner is a lightweight asymmetrical aluminum connector designed for attaching equipment such as descenders, lanyards, and rope access devices. Featuring an automatic triple-action TRIACT-LOCK gate and a Keylock nose system, it ensures secure connections, smooth handling, and reliable performance in professional vertical environments.
The PETZL Am’D TRIACT-LOCK Carabiner is engineered for reliable equipment connection in rope access, rescue operations, climbing systems, and work-at-height applications. Its asymmetrical D-shaped aluminum body optimizes load distribution along the major axis, making it particularly suitable for connecting devices such as descenders, pulleys, and positioning lanyards.
The TRIACT-LOCK automatic locking system uses a triple-action gate mechanism that enhances safety by reducing the risk of accidental opening while still allowing quick operation. A Keylock system and smooth interior design prevent snagging on ropes, webbing, or equipment during use.
Constructed with an H-shaped cross-section, the carabiner achieves an excellent strength-to-weight ratio while protecting markings from abrasion. It can also be used with the CAPTIV positioning bar to keep the connector properly oriented and loaded along its major axis, improving system efficiency and safety.
