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 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 Foin 10mm Oval is a true oval karabiner in 10mm steel, rated to 22kn. It is ideal for use with pulleys in all except the highest loading situations. This oval connector allows it to be used with the full range of pulleys, as well as all the other standard uses for a karabiner.

The Petzl Vertigo Wire Lock is a lightweight alloy double-action locking karabiner for Via Ferratas. The gate is opened by pulling the sprung barrel down with your fingers, so its easy and fast but much safer than a snap gate. It also has a wide gate opening and easy grip shape.

The Petzl Freino is a twist-lock karabiner that incorporates an integral braking system for improving friction on descenders and belay devices. Works extremely well with the Grigri when using slimmer ropes such as the Beal Booster, which can normally be a struggle. The Freino is ideal for adding or adjusting friction during descents.

The Palm Wire Gate karabiner is an essential piece of kayak safety kit. Palm Equipment have manufactured the wire gate carabiner from a 13mm anodised aluminium bar that then features a wire gate. The shape of the carabiner will make sure that the rope locates to the base of the crab so that it loads correctly to maintain the strength.

When you need a reliable connection but need to be able to affect an immediate release this is the karabiner for you. Ideal for helicopter and across river rescues. Double button locking with multiple safety mechanism and a breaking strength of 40kN. Paragliders are able to separate the pilot from his/her glider when using a dirigible rescue system.

The Palm Autolock Karabiner is a large, D-shaped karabiner with anodised finish for durability. The gate is protected with an auto-lock system to prevent accidental opening and automatic locking when closed.
