Its oval shape ensures centralised loading, smooth pulley operation, and symmetrical performance, making it versatile and efficient in complex rigging systems. Available with Screwgate, Kwiklock, or Locksafe locking options, it combines strength, security, and ease of use. Cold-forged, heat-treated, and zinc plated, the 10mm Oval has been built to withstand demanding use while providing reliability and confidence in the field.

The Maillon Rapide Long Opening is a long oval shaped Maillon Rapide, the gate being longer than the standard. Available in galvanised or stainless steel, and in a number of different sizes (see drop down menu). These are ideal for rigging ropes in any situation where they will not be in view during use as they are much less likely than a karabiner to open accidentally. The downside is that they are slightly slower to use than a screw gate karabiner.

The Maillon Rapide Standard is a strong, oval-shaped quick link connector designed for dependable use in rigging, anchoring, and safety systems.

With PPE-certified options available, the Maillon Rapide Standard is a versatile and trusted choice for both recreational and professional use.

The Oxan is Petzl's high quality steel oval karabiner with a keylock gate closure, this is the steel karabiner of choice for demanding conditions. Petzl’s Keylock means less snagging, while the red indicator on the screw lock provides a visual warning if the gate is not locked.

Maillon Rapides have a working load limit that is a fifth of the breaking load of the maillon (as stated by the manufacturer) and will become damaged and distorted if they are used above this load limit. Some are certified as PPE (to protect falls from height) and some are not. If you are unsure of which is which, either ask us, or have a look at your maillon which will be marked with "PPE" if it is and "CE" if it is not. CE maillons conform to Maillon Rapide's standards but are not certified as PPE.
