The Semi-circular or half-moon Maillon Rapide is ideal for securing caving harnesses, such as the Petzl SuperAvanti
Available in galvanised, alloy or stainless steel.
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.
They conform to EN 362 and EN 12 275

The downside is that they are slightly slower to use than a screw gate karabiner.
