KONG I-OVALONE ALU TWIST LOCK | NFC-Enabled Aluminum Locking Carabiner

The KONG I-OVALONE ALU TWIST LOCK 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 professional work-at-height applications, this connector combines dependable mechanical performance with modern equipment management technology.

The integrated NFC chip allows users to access equipment identification and inspection records using a compatible smartphone or computer, eliminating the need for specialized readers. This technology helps simplify periodic inspections, reduces errors associated with manual serial number transcription, and supports compatibility with equipment inspection management software.

The I-OVALONE features a two-action twist-lock sleeve that requires rotating the sleeve 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 Titanium and Eco finishes, the I-OVALONE is manufactured in Italy and individually tested. The Eco version uses a finishing process that eliminates heavy chemical treatments to reduce environmental impact.
