The DMM Rhino karabiner is not restricted to assisted locking belay devices: it works brilliantly with standard devices. The full cross section of the top bar means greater wear resistance, and smooth operation in guide mode usage. The horn makes identification by feel on the rear gear loop easier, and the clean nose design provides snag-free loading and unloading of ropes. The big burly top bar is contrasted by our signature I-Beam construction on the non-rope bearing surfaces resulting in a total weight of 72g.

The DMM Rhino HMS carabiner tackles cross loading head on! The horn feature on the leading edge of the spine significantly reduces the possibility of cross loading with rigging, belay & rope devices, and pulleys by restricting the rotation of devices, whilst the clean nose design provides snag-free gate entry. The smooth and robust top bar is contrasted by our signature I-Beam construction on the non-rope bearing surfaces.

After observing how sport climbers were modifying their belay karabiners with rubber bungs to prevent cross-loading when using the Petzl Grigri and Trango Cinch, DMM decided it was time to come up with a cleaner, simple, solution. The Rhino's horn prevents such devices from rotating off the top bar and on to the spine reducing the risk of cross loading, it also works well with selected DMM pulleys.

Features:
HMS for space and rigging: HMS connectors are pear shaped and often have similar characteristics to ovals in how they deal with loaded components, i.e. they also allow devices and connectors to self-centre. Moreover, the extended basket allows for additional component connection. Knots in a system such as an Italian hitch can rotate easily between taking in and paying out (even with larger diameter ropes). In general, HMS connectors are slightly oversized to accommodate the added volume of bigger ropes and to feel secure in a gloved hand.
Keylock clean nose for snag free connection: DMM's patented 'Taperlock' closing mechanism increases gate push-in and cross gate strength using a special flared profile on the nose of the carabiner, as well as allowing a snag free connection for your ropes, slings and devices.
Wide, full radius basket provides a rope and device friendly operation
Pronounced horn and flat base encourage optimal loading: The top of the Rhino's spine prevents assisted braking devices and rope controllers from twisting around the spine and cross-loading the carabiner. The Rhino's flat base helps it sit in the belay loop, and works with the horn to help the Rhino orientate correctly.

Locking Gate Types:
Screwgate: Manual locking gate requiring screwing/unscrewing of the barrel to lock/unlock.
Kwiklock: Auto-locking gate requiring two distinct actions to open.
Locksafe: Auto-locking gate requiring three distinct actions to open.
Durolock: Auto-locking gate requiring four distinct operations to open. Force must be maintained throughout or the gate returns to safe (locked).
Kwiklock ANSI: Same gate action as Kwiklock but the connector is also required to exceed 16kN in minor axis, side load and gate face tests.
Locksafe ANSI: Same gate action as Locksafe but the connector is also required to exceed 16kN in minor axis, side load and gate face tests.

Beal Be Safe

Beal

Be Safe

The Beal Be Safe is a HMS screwlock karabiner that's perfect for use with belay devices as it can accommodate two ropes at once, without the risk of them becoming overlapped in the event of a fall. The reception cradle ensures that the two ropes slide together and does not generate friction on the sides of the carabiner when the rope is braked. This is true whether rappelling or stopping a fall.

Smart HMS 2.0 Screwgate Carabiner

The Mammut Smart HMS 2.0 Screwgate Carabiner offers the same double safety and easy handling as the older version. The screw locking can be operated only when the safety gate is open. Accidental opening is excluded, as well as unintentional twisting of the carabiner in the belay loop of the climbing harness. This prevents dangerous lateral loading. Mammut recommends use of the Smart HMS 2.0 carabiner for the Smart 2.0 belay device.

Condor HMS

The OCUN Condor HMS is a large karabiner that responds to the new trends of safety. Equipped with an independent internal wire gate that prevents it from rotating and guards against unwanted release from a belay loop, this karabiner ensures safe belaying and rappelling. The internal gate locks in the right direction and therefore prevents upward release. This means that the belayer can focus their full attention on the climber. The Condor brings a new level of safety into belaying.
