Karabiners and Connectors

The ISC Double Action Snaphook is an alloy snaphook that has a safety heel to help reduce the risk of accidental opening. Also designed to reduce snagging thanks to a ‘Blind’ nose. Also available in an alloy version

The ISC Double Action Snaphook is fitted with an opening mechanism which requires the gate and second-action keeper to be engaged simultaneously, in order to open the device. This opening sequence helps to reduce the risk of unintentional opening of the gate. The SH906 also has a ‘keylock’ anti-snag nose to reduce snagging.

The ISC Large Steel Rings are quality steel rings from ISC and are rated to 70kN. They are made with 11mm bar stock and are fully marked. Choose between the smaller or larger ring.

The ISC Offset D Keylock Karabiner is great for use by arborists, as well as in industrial height safety and rope access.

The ISC Oval Karabiner has a hooked nose as standard.

The ISC Scaffold Hook is a large aluminium double action scaffold hook.

The ISC Small Steel Ring is a 27mm ring that can be used on your harness bridge. It has a minimum breaking strength of 25kN.

The Kong Tango is an aluminium carabiner with double gate safety system. To open the carabiner push the rear gate with your palm while pulling the front gate with your fingers. The rear gate is protected in order to prevent accidental opening against the wall. Specifically conceived for use in via-ferrata sets and adventure parks lanyards.

The Kong X Large Carbon Steel is a carbon steel carabiner with Twist Lock sleeve. The X-Large is designed to offer a wide gate opening and a high tensile strength. The particular D shape prevents the rotation of the carabiner and allows to distribute the load along the major axis.

The Maillon Rapide Delta is a triangular shaped connector with a hand or spanner tightening screw thread for use in mountaineering, caving, rescue and access situations. Comes in steel with a zinc galvanised finish and stainless steel options from 4mm through to 12mm diameters.

Maillon Rapide quick link connectors have a number of uses in caving, climbing and industrial access. Some are PPE rated and they are available in a number of different shapes to accommodate different loading stresses. Generally they are much stronger than karabiners of similar bar dimensions, but not as quick to operate.

The Maillon Rapide Long Opening is a long oval shaped Maillon Rapide, the gate being longer than the standard. Available in galvanised or stainless steel, and in a number of different sizes (see drop down menu). These are ideal for rigging ropes in any situation where they will not be in view during use as they are much less likely than a karabiner to open accidentally. The downside is that they are slightly slower to use than a screw gate karabiner.

The Maillon Rapide Long Opening Twist is an 8mm galvanised quick link karabiner with a 90° twist. This allows for smoother orientation of any part.

The Maillon Rapide Pear are ideal for rigging ropes in any situation where they will not be in view during use as they are much less likely than a karabiner to open accidentally. The downside is that they are slightly slower to use than a screw gate karabiner. The pear shape gives the rope room to run over the wider end. Available in galvanised or stainless steel, and in a number of different sizes (see drop down menu).

The Semi circular or half moon Maillon Rapide is ideal for securing caving harnesses, it is commonly used for the junction of 2 connecting points on a harness. Screw links are a lot more secure than karabiners so are essential if there's a possibility that the connector may be cross-loaded.

The Maillon Rapide Square can be used as a lightweight connection for harnesses or risers, where the minimum weight is paramount.

The Maillon Rapide Standard was developed on the principle of a chain link fitted with manual nut opening. This shape reflects the spirit of Maillon Rapide quick links connectors.

Maillon Rapides have a working load limit that is a fifth of the breaking load of the maillon (as stated by the manufacturer) and will become damaged and distorted if they are used above this load limit. Some are certified as PPE (to protect falls from height) and some are not. If you are unsure of which is which, either ask us, or have a look at your maillon which will be marked with "PPE" if it is and "CE" if it is not. CE maillons conform to Maillon Rapide's standards but are not certified as PPE.

The Mammut Classic HMS Screwgate is a classic aluminium belay carabiner in medium-size pear-shape that is versatile for belay and anchor construction or for belaying with a variety of devices. Includes safety features such as orange unlocked marker and keylock nose.

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.

The OCUN Condor HMS Twist 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.

The OCUN Falcon is the largest D-shaped karabiner in their collection. The Falcon is a karabiner of usual dimensions suitable for equipping climbing routes. It's popular especially amongst climbers who prefer the traditional routes and sandstone climbing. This karabiner is suitable for those who prefer maximum strength and reliability to low weight.

The Ocun Falcon Screw is a neat screwgate karabiner, featuring a keylock nose and a construction that maximizes strength while cutting down on the weight. It's a great size for carrying as part of a trad rack, not so large that it'll clutter your gear loops, but not so small that it'll become fiddly. To this extent, the krab also has ridges down the spine for improved handling and security.

The OCUN Falcon is the perfect all-round carabiner for outdoor climbing, now in a pack of three! Colour coded to be easily identifiable too. Strong, easy to use and bright.

The OCUN Kestrel is an ultralight micro-karabiner that's suitable for use on multi-pitch and trad routes. Despite its low weight, the Kestrel has high strength and its wire gate helps to eliminate flutter, whilst reducing the chances of snow or ice accumulating and causing the gate to freeze in winter conditions.

The Petzl Am'D karabiner is great for most uses and thanks to its D-shape it's one of the strongest and lightest locking carabiners out there. The 'D-shape' has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of all karabiner designs. The shape and size of the AM'D is great for most uses, such as connecting a belay device to your harness or as a connector at the end of a lanyard. The D-shape makes it one of the strongest and lightest locking carabiners Petzl makes.

The Petzl Attache is a lightweight and compact, pear-shaped karabiner with as screw gate opening. It has multiple uses for belaying, such as connecting a belay system to a harness and belaying with a Munter hitch. It has a H-cross section to reduce weight, as well as the keylock system to avoid the karabiner snagging during manoeuvres.

The Petzl Captiv positioning bar promotes loading of the carabiner on the major axis, limits the risk of rotation and keeps it integrated with the device or lanyard. Captiv is compatible with OK, Am’D, William, Oxan, Bm'D carabiners and the Rollclip A pulley carabiner.

The Petzl Captiv Adjust is a karabiner positioning bar combined with an Adjust rope adjuster. This positioning bar promotes loading of the karabiner on the major axis and helps hold the Adjust rope adjuster in the proper position to reduce the risk of accidental release. It helps keep the lanyard and rope adjuster integrated with the karabiner, reducing the risk of losing them. The Captiv Adjust is compatible with the OK, Am'D, Bm'D and Oxan karabiners.

The Petzl Captivo is a positioning bar for the Vertigo Twist-Lock connector. It secures the connector to the lanyard, promotes loading of the connector on the major axis and limits the risk of it flipping. The Captivo is only compatible with the Vertigo Twist-Lock connector.
