OXAN TRIACT-LOCK

Product Description

The Petzl OXAN TRIACT-LOCK is a high-strength oval carabiner designed for rope access, rescue, rigging, and work-at-height applications where a stable, symmetrical connector is required. The oval shape keeps loads — including pulleys, descenders, and other devices — centered on the spine of the carabiner, preventing the load from shifting to the weaker gate side during use. This makes the OXAN particularly well suited for use with pulleys, belay devices, and rigging hardware where consistent load alignment is critical for safe and efficient operation.

The TRIACT-LOCK gate system features a three-action locking mechanism that requires three sequential movements to open — lift, rotate, and pull — providing a high level of accidental opening resistance without requiring a screwgate or additional locking tool. The gate opening of 20 mm accommodates a wide range of rope diameters, hardware, and anchor configurations. Major axis strength is rated at 38 kN, and open gate strength is 15 kN, providing a robust safety margin for demanding load applications in rope access and rescue systems.

Certified to CE EN 362, ANSI Z359.12, NFPA 2500 Technical Use, CSA Z259.12, EAC, and UKCA, the OXAN TRIACT-LOCK meets the key international connector standards for use in fall protection, rope access, and rescue systems across North American, European, UK, and Russian markets. It is backed by a 3-year guarantee and is part of Petzl's comprehensive range of connectors trusted by rope access technicians, rescue teams, and industrial safety professionals.
