KL120 Compact Oval Karabiner
The KL120 Compact Oval Karabiner is a palm-sized, symmetrical oval carabiner with an effective working length of just 70mm (2 3/4"). Its compact design makes it the ideal choice for applications where a shorter, more compact system is advantageous.
Unlike many industrial oval carabiners with offset shapes to bias loads toward the spine for increased major axis strength, the KL120 maintains a true, symmetrical oval shape. This design ensures load centralization, proper orientation, and balanced loading, making it perfect for critical applications requiring stability and precision.
Enhanced Design and Features
-
Strong I-Beam Spine: The robust I-beam spine transitions into softly rounded, rope-friendly baskets, reducing wear on connected components.
-
Streamlined Gate Barrels: Gates are equipped with sleek, ergonomic barrels that minimize play and optimize gate-opening efficiency.
-
Improved Grip Area: A CNC-machined grip replaces the traditional knurled design, extending the grip area for better user control throughout the gate-opening sequence.
