Petzl Bm’D Carabiner

The Petzl Bm’D Carabiner is a lightweight, high-strength aluminum connector designed for professional use in various applications, including climbing, rescue operations, and work-at-height scenarios. Its asymmetrical D-shape is particularly suited for connecting to equipment such as descenders or positioning lanyards, ensuring optimal alignment and load distribution.

Key Features:

• Lightweight and Durable Construction: Crafted from aluminum, the Bm’D carabiner offers a high strength-to-weight ratio, reducing the overall weight of the user’s equipment without compromising durability.
• Reinforced Sleeve for Enhanced Strength: The carabiner features a reinforced sleeve that provides greater front and lateral gate strength, enhancing safety during use.
• TRIACT-LOCK Automatic Locking System: Equipped with the TRIACT-LOCK mechanism, the carabiner requires three actions to open—lift, twist, and pull—offering increased security against accidental gate openings.
• Fluid Interior Design with Keylock System: The smooth, snag-free interior and Keylock nose design prevent rope or equipment from catching during maneuvers, facilitating efficient handling.
• H-Shaped Cross-Section: This design ensures an optimal strength-to-weight ratio and protects markings from abrasion, extending the carabiner’s lifespan.
• Compatibility with CAPTIV Positioning Bar: The Bm’D can be used with the CAPTIV positioning bar to favor loading along the major axis, limit the risk of flipping, and keep it integrated with the device.
