It’s lighter than many steel alternatives yet tested well beyond its nominal rating, making it suitable for harness attachment, pulleys, descenders, rope systems and aerial work. The oval profile helps center loads and work well with a variety of hardware while the twist-to-open mechanism reduces the chance of accidental opening in busy conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow strong and safe is this carabiner for climbing and work-at-height?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CAMNAL carabiner is rated at 25 kN on the major axis (about 5,620 lbs), with additional ratings of 8 kN on the minor axis and 7 kN with the gate open. Internal tensile tests exceeded the rated values, showing failure only at significantly higher forces. Built-in auto-locking decreases human error during harness or rope attachment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMajor axis: 25 kN (≈5,620 lbs).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMinor axis: 8 kN; open-gate: 7 kN.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTested break point above 30 kN in internal verification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAuto lock reduces accidental gate openings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes the oval (O-type) shape useful compared with D-type carabiners?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn oval carabiner distributes load more symmetrically across its spine, which is advantageous for connecting pulleys, rigging plates, and rescue gear.
