VULCAN TRIACT-LOCK - black

Product Description

The Petzl VULCAN TRIACT-LOCK is a high-strength asymmetrical carabiner with a large basket capacity, engineered for rescue, industrial rigging, and rope access applications where exceptional connector strength is required. With a major axis strength of 45 kN — significantly higher than standard rope access carabiners — the VULCAN is designed for high-load applications including rescue systems, mechanical advantage hauling systems, and industrial rigging where elevated safety margins are critical. The large basket capacity accommodates rescue pulleys, descenders, and rigging hardware, while the asymmetrical shape keeps the load centered for consistent, predictable performance.

The TRIACT-LOCK gate system requires three sequential actions to open — lift, rotate, and pull — providing a high level of accidental opening resistance appropriate for the demanding rescue and industrial environments in which the VULCAN is used. The 26 mm gate opening accommodates a wide range of ropes, webbing, and hardware. Open gate strength is rated at 18 kN, which is substantially higher than standard carabiners in this category, providing an additional safety margin in the event of accidental gate loading.

Certified to CE EN 362, ANSI Z359.12, NFPA 2500 General Use, CSA Z259.12, EAC, and UKCA, the VULCAN TRIACT-LOCK meets the key international connector standards for use in fall protection, rescue, and rope access systems across North American, European, UK, and Russian markets. The NFPA 2500 General Use rating confirms its suitability for a broad range of rescue personnel and operational contexts. Available in black, backed by a 3-year guarantee.
