Description
The Axiom Slider locking carabiner represents a specialized advancement in rope management technology. By integrating a high-efficiency pulley directly into the carabiner spine, the device maintains smooth operation even under significant loads. This design significantly reduces friction and ensures the rope stays positioned correctly for maximum mechanical advantage.

Optimized Friction Reduction
The integrated pulley system delivers 86 % efficiency during operation. This feature reduces rope friction to a minimum while supporting smooth movement under load. The optimized design ensures the rope remains on the pulley at all times.
Compact Security and Handling
The Slider locking gate provides an automatic and very compact closure system. Because the gate opens on the pulley side, installing the rope is faster and more intuitive. The 68 g (2.4 oz) lightweight construction prevents unnecessary weight on a technician’s rack.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary benefit of the integrated pulley?
The pulley is designed to minimize rope friction and maintain its function even under heavy loads. It provides an 86 % efficiency rating for better rope movement. This ensures the rope is always ideally guided through the spine.
How does the Slider gate mechanism function?
The Slider locking gate is an automatic and compact locking system. It provides secure closure without the bulk of traditional screw sleeves. The gate is positioned to open on the pulley side for easier rope insertion.
What are the strength ratings for this carabiner?
The device features a major axis strength of 22 kN. It is rated for 8 kN on the minor axis and 7 kN when the gate is open. These ratings ensure compliance with EN 12275 and EN 362 standards.
Is the Axiom Slider suitable for heavy industrial use?
Yes, it is certified to EN 362 and EN 12275 standards. The aluminium construction provides a high strength-to-weight ratio for professional applications. The optimized design ensures performance remains consistent during technical maneuvers.
What is the weight and size of the unit?
The unit weighs only 68 g (2.4 oz) to reduce gear fatigue. It measures 100 mm (3.9 in) in length and 65 mm (2.5 in) in width. This makes it a very lightweight addition to any technical kit.
