Kong i-Ovalone Alu Twist Lock Carabiner

Kong i-Ovalone Alu Twist Lock Carabiner

The Kong i-Ovalone Alu Twist Lock Carabiner is an oval aluminium connector with a wide gate and an integrated NFC chip. It weighs 76 g (2.7 oz) and carries EN 362/B, EN 12275/B and UIAA approval, so one connector covers both fall protection and climbing use.

Features and Benefits

The integrated NFC chip holds the device history and reads with an ordinary smartphone or PC. No dedicated reader is needed, and periodic inspection stops depending on someone transcribing a serial number by hand, which is where inspection records usually go wrong. Kong states the system is patented and compatible with any inspection software.

Moreover, the twist lock sleeve opens in two movements. You turn the sleeve and pull, which is deliberate enough to resist accidental opening but quick enough to use repeatedly through a session. A keylock nose keeps the gate from snagging on slings, bolt hangers and rigging plates.

Furthermore, the oval body loads symmetrically, which makes it a sound choice for pulleys, ascenders and any setup where you want the load to sit centred. Kong builds and tests the connector piece by piece in Italy.

Product-Specific Use Cases

The inspection trail makes this a natural fit for gear that belongs to an organisation rather than a person. Think UAE climbing walls tracking a rack across seasons, adventure park operators, rope access teams and rescue units. It also works on a personal rack at Wadi Bih, where a wide gate and a positive lock matter more than saving a few grams.
