KONG I-OVALONE ALU AUTO BLOCK | NFC-Enabled Aluminum Locking Carabiner

The KONG I-OVALONE ALU AUTO BLOCK is a professional-grade aluminum locking carabiner featuring an integrated NFC chip for digital equipment identification, inspection tracking, and lifecycle management. Designed for industrial rope access, technical rescue, fall protection, and work-at-height applications, this connector combines dependable mechanical performance with modern equipment management technology.

The integrated NFC chip allows users to access the connector's identification and inspection history using a compatible smartphone or computer without specialized readers. This technology simplifies periodic equipment inspections, reduces errors associated with manually recording serial numbers, and supports compatibility with inspection management software.

The I-OVALONE features a three-action automatic locking sleeve that requires lifting, rotating, and opening the gate. KONG's Keylock system eliminates the traditional snagging tooth, helping prevent ropes, webbing, and equipment from catching during attachment and removal.

Its symmetrical oval shape provides reliable positioning for pulleys, rope clamps, and other compatible equipment. Manufactured from high-strength aluminum alloy, the connector offers a 26 kN major-axis strength while maintaining a lightweight design.

Available in Black and Eco finishes, the I-OVALONE is manufactured in Italy and individually tested. The Eco version uses a reduced-chemical finishing process designed to minimize environmental impact.
