Kong Ovalone DNA Twistlock Helical Carabiner

Kong Ovalone DNA Twistlock Helical Carabiner

The Kong Ovalone DNA Twistlock Helical Carabiner is a helical connector with a twisted carbon steel body and a circular bar, built for situations where an offset load is what you actually need. It holds 40 kN on the major axis and weighs 220 g (7.8 oz).

Features and Benefits

The twist in the body is the entire design. It lets a connected device sit rotated 90 degrees relative to the anchor, so descenders, rope clamps and fall arresters line up the way they are meant to load rather than being pulled sideways by a straight connector.

Additionally, carbon steel puts the strength somewhere aluminium cannot follow. At 40 kN on the major axis and 15 kN on the minor, it carries the sort of margin that industrial rigging and rescue work asks for, and the twist lock sleeve opens in two deliberate movements.

Furthermore, the finish matters more here than in most markets. Kong applies a zinc-nickel treatment and states that it doubles corrosion resistance against standard black zinc plating in salt spray testing to UNI EN ISO 9227. On the east and west coasts, salt air is what kills steel hardware.

The treatment also gives a more uniform finish and better scratch resistance, and the connector carries EN 362 M and EAC approval. Kong builds it in Italy.

Product-Specific Use Cases

This Kong Ovalone DNA Twistlock Helical Carabiner is professional rigging and rope access hardware. It suits anchor points where a device has to sit square to the load, rescue systems, and industrial work at height across the coastal Emirates where corrosion resistance earns its cost back. At 220 g it is a deliberate choice for strength and alignment rather than a weight-conscious rack piece.
