Petzl OXAN Carabiner - Screw-Lock, Gold | High-Strength Steel for Harsh Environments

Engineered for demanding environments

The Petzl OXAN carabiner is built from high-strength steel to withstand harsh conditions and heavy loads. Its symmetrical oval geometry centers the load along the major axis, making it well suited for pulleys, rope clamps, and anchored systems. This thoughtful shape helps maintain balance when multiple components are connected, reducing wobble under tension.

With a robust interior profile and a streamlined nose, the OXAN reduces snagging on anchors, ropes, or harnesses during clipping. The result is smoother transitions between gear pieces and a more confident clip in busy or cold environments where speed matters.

Locking options to fit your safety standards

Choose manual SCREW-LOCK (visible red indicator) or automatic TRIACT-LOCK (three-stage). The TRIACT-LOCK variants (M72A TLA/TLN) are ANSI and CSA certified for international compliance, giving you flexibility across project sites and regions.

CAPTIV compatibility for integrated setups

Pair with the CAPTIV positioning bar to direct loading along the major axis and keep the carabiner aligned with the device. This helps maintain a tidy, integrated system, especially when space is tight or components must move together.

Real-world uses and considerations

In rope access, industrial maintenance, rescue drills, or climbing installations, the OXAN supports centered loads with its symmetrical design. The combination of steel strength, controlled geometry, and secure locking can contribute to smoother rigging, easier inspections, and repeatable placements across tasks.

• Optimal load centering for pulleys, clamps, and anchor points, reducing side loading
• Snag-free handling thanks to a fluid interior and Keylock, minimizing catch points
• Flexible locking options to align with site safety rules and regional certifications
• CAPTIV compatibility to keep the system tidy and integrated

• Rugged steel construction designed for harsh environments and heavy-duty tasks
• TRIACT-LOCK variants offering ANSI/CSA certification for cross-border projects
• Gold finish increases gear visibility in cluttered gear racks
• Precise geometry supports reliable load distribution for pulleys and anchors

Note: Availability of locking variants may vary by market. Always inspect gear before use and follow manufacturer guidelines for setup and maintenance.
