The Petzl Am’D Carabiner is a lightweight asymmetrical D-shaped aluminum carabiner designed for professional work at height and for connecting equipment such as descenders and positioning lanyards. Its D shape provides an efficient connection point, while the aluminum construction helps reduce the overall weight of equipment carried by workers at height. The Am’D can also be used with a CAPTIV positioning bar to favor loading along the major axis, limit the risk of the carabiner flipping, and help keep it integrated with the connected device or lanyard.

D-Shaped Design for Professional Connections

The asymmetrical D shape of the Petzl Am’D Carabiner is particularly suited to attaching devices such as descenders and positioning lanyards. Its fluid interior design helps reduce potential catch points and facilitates smooth rotation of the carabiner. The Keylock system helps prevent accidental snagging when connecting or removing equipment.

The Am’D features an H-shaped cross-section that provides an improved strength-to-weight ratio while helping protect product markings from abrasion. When used with a compatible CAPTIV positioning bar, the carabiner can be kept correctly positioned on the connected equipment and oriented to favor loading along the major axis.

Three Locking System Options

The Petzl Am’D is available with three locking mechanisms to suit different professional applications:

• TRIACT-LOCK: Automatic locking system with triple-action gate opening.
• BALL-LOCK: Automatic locking system with triple-action opening and a visual locking indicator.
• SCREW-LOCK: Manual screw-lock system with a red band that provides a visual warning when the carabiner is unlocked.

Selected Am’D versions are also available in black and gold, depending on the locking system.
