OXAN
A high-strength oval carabiner for tough situations
The OXAN is a top-quality steel carabiner built for difficult environments. Its oval, symmetrical shape makes it perfect for setting up anchors or connecting to metal structures. You can choose between two locking systems: the automatic TRIACT-LOCK or the manual SCREW-LOCK. The OXAN can be paired with the CAPTIV bar to keep it in the right position, reduce the risk of flipping, and keep it integrated with your device.
Detailed description
Description
- Made of high-strength steel, ideal for harsh environments, great for anchor setup and connecting to metal structures.
- The oval symmetrical shape ensures optimal positioning.
- Easy to handle: a smooth interior design reduces the risk of catching and allows the carabiner to rotate freely. The Keylock system prevents accidental snagging.
- The H cross-section offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and protects markings from wear.
- Two locking options: the SCREW-LOCK with a red band shows when it's unlocked. The TRIACT-LOCK has automatic locking and a triple-action gate opening.
- Can be used with a CAPTIV positioning bar to keep it loaded along the major axis, integrated with the device, and minimize flipping risk.

Using the OXAN carabiner is quite straightforward. When setting up anchors or connecting to metal structures, just choose the right locking system for your needs. If you pick the SCREW-LOCK, make sure to tighten it properly and check the red band to ensure it's locked. For the TRIACT-LOCK, it locks automatically, but still give it a quick check. You can attach the carabiner to the CAPTIV bar to keep it in the right position and prevent flipping. When it comes to maintenance, keep it clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals. After each use, give it a visual inspection for any signs of damage like cracks or excessive wear. If you notice any issues, don't use it and get it replaced. And remember, this carabiner comes with a 3 - year guarantee, so if something goes wrong within that time, you're covered.
