Petzl Am'D Carabiner

The D-shape geometry is specifically designed to shift the load toward the spine, which is the strongest part of the carabiner. This makes it more versatile for connecting to devices like descenders or lanyards compared to symmetrical oval shapes.

The red band is a visual safety feature that remains visible when the gate is unlocked. When you screw the sleeve down to lock it, the band disappears, giving you an immediate, reliable check that the carabiner is secure.

Yes, the Am'D is compatible with Petzl's positioning bars. This accessory helps keep the carabiner oriented along its major axis, which prevents cross-loading and ensures you are always loading the device in its strongest position.

Absolutely. It is certified to CE EN 362 and NFPA 1983 standards for technical use. With a major axis strength of 27kN, it is built to handle the rigorous demands of rescue and work-at-height applications.

No, the Am'D features a Keylock system, which is a smooth, notch-free nose design. This prevents the carabiner from snagging on ropes, slings, or your harness gear loops during use.

The H-shaped design removes unnecessary material from non-load-bearing areas to reduce weight without sacrificing strength. This gives you a lighter piece of gear that maintains high durability for daily professional use.
