Product information & specifications
Rock Exotica rockD Up-Lock Carabiner – High-Strength 3-Stage Auto-Locking Connector
The Rock Exotica rockD Up-Lock Carabiner is engineered for professionals who demand maximum strength in a standard-sized aluminium connector. Featuring a 3-stage push-up and twist gate mechanism, it delivers secure operation while allowing technicians to match gate styles across their existing climbing and rigging setups.
Built around a narrow asymmetric “D” shape, the rockD optimises strength-to-weight ratio while maintaining a sleek, low-profile design. Its precision-machined construction and I-beam frame geometry provide exceptional durability, making it a reliable choice for arborist climbing, rigging and rope access applications.
Key Features
- 3-stage Up-Lock gate with push-up and twist action
- High-strength asymmetric “D” shape for optimal load distribution
- I-beam profile for reduced weight and increased strength
- Bevelled gate edges to minimise cross-loading risk
- Large, ergonomic angled gate opening
- Snag-resistant keylock nose design
- Precision CNC machined frame for smooth operation
- Excellent strength-to-weight ratio in a standard-size carabiner
Maximum Strength Design
The rockD is designed to deliver some of the highest strength ratings in its class, making it ideal for demanding professional environments where reliability is critical.
Secure Up-Lock Gate System
The push-up and twist mechanism provides a dependable 3-stage locking action, ensuring secure attachment while maintaining compatibility with preferred gate styles across your kit.
Reduced Cross-Loading Risk
Bevelled edges on the gate and sleeve create smoother interaction with ropes and lanyards, helping to reduce snagging and minimise the risk of dangerous cross-loading.
Optimised Frame Geometry
The narrow asymmetric “D” shape naturally directs loads toward the spine, while the I-beam profile reduces weight without compromising strength, resulting in a compact yet powerful connector.
