The Petzl SM’D Carabiner is a compact, ultra-lightweight D-shaped aluminum carabiner designed for workers at height who want to minimize equipment weight. Its D shape makes it particularly suitable for attaching devices, while the compact construction provides efficient handling in professional work-at-height applications. The carabiner is available with TRIACT-LOCK, SCREW-LOCK, or without a locking system for applications where easy clipping is required.

Compact D-Shaped Design

The D-shaped design of the Petzl SM’D Carabiner is especially suited to attaching devices such as rope clamps and other compatible equipment. Its fluid interior limits the risk of equipment catching on internal edges and facilitates smooth rotation of the carabiner. The Keylock system eliminates the hook at the gate-body interface, helping prevent the carabiner from snagging on ropes, anchors, harness equipment loops, and other gear.

An integrated hole allows compatible TIBLOC or MICRO TRAXION devices to be connected using a cord, helping reduce the risk of losing these compact pieces of equipment during use.

Lightweight H-Frame Construction

The SM’D uses an H-shaped cross-section that provides an optimal strength-to-weight ratio while helping protect product markings from abrasion. The compact aluminum construction makes it particularly useful when minimizing the weight of a professional work-at-height system is important.

Depending on the configuration, the professional SM’D weighs from 40 g to 55 g. The locking versions provide 23 kN major-axis strength, 8 kN minor-axis strength, and 7 kN open-gate strength.

Three Configuration Options

The Petzl SM’D is available in different configurations:

• TRIACT-LOCK: Automatic locking system with triple-action gate opening.
• SCREW-LOCK: Manual screw-lock system with a red band that provides a visual warning when the carabiner is unlocked.
• Without locking system: Designed for easy clipping during progression using climbing techniques.

The current professional range includes yellow and black versions depending on the configuration.
