Stunt Rigging - Connectors / Carabiners
Maillons are very much a stronger connector than carabiners. They are available in different shapes and are designed to be able to cope with rigging in multi-directional loads.

The Petzl Steel Oxan Screw Lock Carabiner is ideal for use in difficult environments. The high-strength steel construction creates major axis strength of up to 38kN while keeping weight down to as little as 185g.
Maillon Rapide PPE Delta represents a fundamentally improved high-strength connector, providing much higher strength than equivalent carabiners. Maillons are also designed to cope with complex rigging with multi-directional loads, a scenario that carabiners traditionally struggle to handle.
The 12mm Boa HMS has all the versatility of its alloy sibling, but has a rated strength of 40kN. It can be used for many applications where a large gate opening or high internal volume are required. The smooth rounded internal form is very useful when rotating the carabiner through attachment eyes, and the basket curves nicely to allow central hanging of loaded components.
The Klettersteig shape takes the strength and volume increases of an Offset D and then extends them even further to give a high volume, super-strong connector. The Klettersteig’s wide gate opening makes it particularly suitable for clipping oversize items, or simply allows ease of use in more normal situations.
An Offset D connector takes the spinal loading strength of a D-shaped back but extends the basket at one end to maximize gate opening and overall size without compromising ergonomics and weight. Cold forged from 12mm bar, the strengths achieved in testing exceed 45kN and it is first choice in applications requiring stronger connectors in their systems.
The Black Diamond HotForge Screwgate Carabiner is a versatile, lightweight, and durable keylock locker, perfect for everyday climbing. The non-snagging nose ensures smooth clipping, making it an ideal choice for any situation where a reliable locker is essential.
The I-beam construction of this steel oval carabiner provides much better strength and durability than aluminium equivalents while keeping weight below 200g. DMM’s carabiners feature wide gate openings, intuitive locking mechanisms and exceptionally high quality materials and construction.
The 10mm steel Equal D connector from DMM is a long-standing favourite in our height safety range for good reason. Striking a perfect balance between strength, weight and useability, the D-shaped back design maximises strength by distributing the load close to the spine of the carabiner. This makes it ideal for applications that call for small, tough and durable connectors.
Crafted with hot-forge construction, the LiteForge Screwgate Carabiner optimises weight while maintaining strength where it matters most. Its non-snagging keylock nose ensures smooth clipping and cleaning, enhancing your climbing experience. The screwgate sleeve adds security, keeping the gate closed during critical moments on the rock.
Compact, strong and hard wearing yet incredibly versatile in application. The oval shape centralises loaded connectors, slings, pulleys etc. minimising the unnerving jumping of equipment associated with D shaped connectors.
Tired of carrying heavy, cumbersome carabiners on your belt? The ultra-lightweight DMM Phantom screwgate carabiner weighs in at just 42 grams, providing the ideal solution. Advanced design and materials ensure that strength remains high; the Phantom’s offset D design contributes to 24kN major axis and 9kN minor axis strength.
Petzl’s Oxan carabiner is ideal for use in difficult environments. The high-strength steel construction creates major axis strength of up to 38kN while keeping weight down to as little as 185g. The symmetrical oval shape makes the Oxan easy to handle, allowing optimal loading of the carabiner in a wide range of situations. The design also allows Oxan to be connected to Petzl’s Captiv bar to keep the carabiner in ideal position, limiting the risk of it flipping and ensuring it remains integrated with the device. Two locking systems are available. Firstly, the automatic Triact-Lock system, with triple-action gate opening. Alternatively, the manual Screw-Lock system is available, with a red band providing a visual warning of an unlocked carabiner.
The high strength, lightweight Shadow HMS Screwgate Carabiner by DMM is designed to maximise gate opening, with a deep and wide top basket capable of accommodating three clove hitches. The aluminium construction of the Shadow HMS DMM carabiner allows these carabiners to reach a breaking strength rating of 26kN along their major axis while keeping weight down to an impressive 70g.
The DMM Shadow screwgate carabiner delivers the perfect mix of low weight and useability. With innovative I-beam construction reducing weight to just 50 grams, you can carry as many Shadows as you need without feeling the weight. The design of the Shadow allows it to be used comfortably while wearing gloves, making it suitable for use in winter.
Thanks to its symmetrical rope baskets, the Ultra O is ideal for assisted braking devices, pulleys, swivels and shackles. They also give stable loading characteristics, as attachments can self-centre under load with minimal movement from the carabiner.
