Petzl Am'D Triact Lock triact-lock climbing carabiner

The D-shape is specifically engineered to direct the load toward the carabiner's spine, which is its strongest part. This makes it the most efficient choice for connecting to equipment like descenders or positioning lanyards where you need reliable, predictable performance.

TRIACT-LOCK is an automatic locking system that requires three distinct movements to open: slide, twist, and pull. It is designed for high-frequency use and provides an extra layer of security compared to manual screw-lock gates, making it ideal for life-support applications.

Yes, the Am'D is compatible with the Petzl CAPTIV positioning bar. Using this accessory helps keep the carabiner oriented along its major axis, which prevents it from rotating and ensures it remains loaded in the strongest position.

The H-shaped cross-section allows Petzl to remove excess material without sacrificing strength, resulting in a significantly lighter carabiner. Additionally, the recessed channels protect the carabiner's markings from abrasion, ensuring your gear identification remains legible over time.

No, the Am'D features a Keylock system, which is a snag-free interface between the gate and the body of the carabiner. This design eliminates the hook found on traditional carabiners, allowing you to clip and unclip smoothly without catching on gear or ropes.
