The Beal Orient Express Bi-Matic Carabiner is a unidirectional locking carabiner specifically designed for use with belay devices. It features an internal snap gate that clips onto a harness's belay loop, preventing the carabiner from rotating and ensuring it remains in the correct orientation. This design reduces the risk of the belay system being weakened through cross-loading.
- Unidirectional Locking Mechanism: The internal snap gate secures the carabiner to the harness's belay loop, preventing rotation and ensuring proper alignment.
- Double Action Locking (Bi-Matic): Provides enhanced security by requiring two actions to open the gate, reducing the risk of accidental opening.
- Ergonomic Design: The carabiner is designed for easy handling, allowing for quick locking and unlocking.
- Keylock System: Eliminates snagging, ensuring smooth operation and reducing the risk of the carabiner catching on ropes or gear.
