Standard Carabiners
Screw and twistlock carabiners

Our wide assortment of carabiners, ranging from wire-snapper standard carabiners to automatically locking karabiners, and from symmetric carabiners, tot Twistlock HMS-carabiners, will undoubtedly suit your personal needs.

Standard Carabiners
K2 standard carabiners are characterized by there extremely high breaking strength. The gates are extra wide to facilitate clipping rope in. In order to reduce weight and improve safety we have also developed wire-snapper carabiners, which do not open as wide as traditional carabiners when slammed against rock or ice.

Standard Carabiners 1* 2* Weight Type
Falcon 28 kN 9 kN 55 g straight gate
Falcon II 28 kN 9 kN 56 g bent gate
Wireclip 28 kN 9 kN 44 g straight wire gate
* 1: Major axis strength, 2: Gate open strength

Screw and Twistlock Carabiners
Our screw carabiners have a special feature: when the screw is open, a red band is visible. This makes for easier checking and improves safety as open carabiners can easily be spotted. Unlike traditional, manually locking carabiners our Vulture carabiners have special Twistlock gates, which automatically lock when closed. To open these carabiners, just press the button and twist. New in our range is our bent HMS-karabiner, which is similar to a normal HMS-karabiner, except that it is curved in order to prevent rope from grating along rock or ice.
