Skylotec OVX Oval Screwgate Karabiner 24kN
Skylotec OVX Oval Screwgate Karabiner 24kN
The Skylotec OVX Oval Screwgate Karabiner is a hot-forged aluminium oval with a screwgate, rated 24kN on the major axis, 9kN on the minor axis and 7kN with the gate open, with a 17mm gate opening. It is only 95mm long and weighs 60 grams, which is the point of it: it takes up less room on a crowded anchor and less weight on a rack than a steel oval. The symmetrical oval keeps pulleys and connectors centred and loading evenly, the curved spine improves handling and maximises the gate opening, and the increased cross-section at the contact points helps the rope run and resists wear. The profile between the nose and the inside of the frame is continuous, so it clips and unclips without catching. Skylotec certify it to EN 362:2004 Type B, EN 12275:2013 Type B and UIAA 121. This connector is one part of a fall-arrest or work-positioning system and must be selected, checked for compatibility, inspected and used with matching equipment by a competent person under a documented fall protection plan.

Product Documents
What are the strength ratings?
As marked: 24kN on the major axis, 9kN on the minor axis and 7kN with the gate open.
What is the gate clearance?
17mm.
Why an oval shape?
The symmetrical oval keeps pulleys and connectors centred and loading evenly. At 95mm long it also takes up less room than a steel oval on a crowded anchor, and at 60 grams it is about a quarter of the weight to carry.
What is it made from?
Hot-forged aluminium, which is what keeps it to 60 grams and 95mm. The Steel Oval Screwgate 30kN is the heavier, harder-wearing alternative.
