KONG Lotor Multi-Directional Openable Rigging Ring

The KONG Lotor is a multi-directional, openable aluminum alloy rigging ring designed for semi-permanent equipment connections in professional climbing, arboriculture, rope access, and technical rescue systems. Its design allows multiple devices to connect through a single attachment point while distributing loads evenly across different directions.

The Lotor provides a uniform load rating of 22 kN in all directions under UIAA 130 testing and conforms to EN 362/M with a 24 kN load rating. Its openable construction makes it suitable for connecting multiple components, including ropes with sewn terminations, without requiring a conventional carabiner-style gate.

Features and Construction

• Multi-directional load distribution: Designed to distribute loads evenly regardless of the ring's orientation.

• Openable connection: A 15 mm opening accommodates ropes with sewn terminations and facilitates equipment installation.

• Removable gate: Secured by a slotted screw that can be operated with a standard flathead screwdriver without specialized tools.

• Asymmetric construction: Designed to prevent incorrect assembly.

• Vibration-resistant screw: Incorporates a rubber seal to maintain secure tightening and reduce unwanted vibration.

• Reinforced aluminum body: Central flattened construction with raised edges increases load capacity while protecting product markings.

• Multiple attachment capability: Allows more than two devices to connect to a common load-sharing point.

• Italian manufacturing: Designed and manufactured entirely in Italy.
