The SKYLOTEC OBX WG is a carabiner with an automatic Twistlock mechanism designed for use with pulleys, ascenders, fall arrest devices and other wide-profile equipment. Its oval shape ensures optimal positioning of connected devices and ropes inside the carabiner.

The carabiner is manufactured using hot forged construction for high strength and low weight. Reinforced contact surfaces improve rope sliding and increase resistance to wear during intensive use. The snag-free Key Lock nose improves handling and reduces the risk of snagging on equipment or ropes.
