ISC Compact Oval Carabiner

The oval shape is designed to keep your rigging and pulleys centered, preventing them from shifting or binding under load. It is the preferred choice for specific mechanical advantage systems where symmetrical loading is critical.

The keylock nose eliminates the 'hook' found on standard carabiners, creating a smooth, snag-free surface. This prevents the gate from catching on ropes, webbing, or your harness loops when you are clipping or unclipping.

Yes, with a major axis strength of 24 kN and compliance with EN362 and EN12275 standards, it is fully rated for climber support. It is a robust, professional-grade tool despite its compact size.

The 16mm opening is standard for a compact oval carabiner, making it ideal for connecting pulleys, swivels, or specific rigging plates. If you frequently need to clip thick ropes or multiple bulky items at once, you may find the gate clearance tight.

At 63g, this carabiner is quite lightweight, making it an excellent choice for building minimalist kits or reducing overall rack weight. Its compact 56 x 95mm footprint is specifically engineered to minimize bulk without sacrificing structural integrity.
