-Belay carabiner for consistent rope control and compatibility with belay devices: Belay carabiners give smooth and confident belaying with tube and assisted braking belay devices. They have full section top bars for consistent rope control and reduced rope wear. Their shape resists flipping into sub-optimal orientations when belaying, acting to ensure the carabiner loads along its strongest axis.

-Offset D carabiner for optimal loading and ergonomics: D-Shaped carabiners encourage loading in their strongest orientation by forcing loads toward the carabiner spine. An Offset D refines this basic design by extending the top bar, increasing internal volume. This improves handling and compatibility with thick ropes and slings.

-Keylock nose eliminates snagging: This carabiner’s nose slots into a groove in the gate, allowing it to achieve full strength without a gate notch. This creates a clean internal profile that won’t catch on gear, bolts or slings, giving easier clipping and removal from systems

-I-Beam construction for optimum strength to weight ratio: I-Beam construction techniques allow carabiners to be lighter without compromising strength. This is achieved through hot forging, a process which allows metal to be made into complex shapes that improve functionality.

-Full section top bar for consistent rope handling and increased longevity: A rope running over a full section top bar has more consistent handling characteristics than one running over an I-Beam surface. Our belay carabiners feature full section top bars for greater control rope control. Ropes loading over full section bar also bend less than those loaded over I-Beam surfaces, increasing rope longevity.

-Pronounced horn and flat base encourage optimal loading: The top of the Rhino’s spine prevents assisted braking devices and rope controllers from twisting around the spine and cross-loading the carabiner. The Rhino’s flat base helps it sit in the belay loop, and works with the horn to help the Rhino orientate correctly.

Description

A medium sized belay and rigging carabiner that has been optimised for working with rope control devices such as GRIGRI’s or ascenders. The horn feature prevents assisted locking belay devices rotating off the top bar and on to the spine, therefore reducing the risk of cross loading. It also works well with selected DMM pulleys.
The Rhino works brilliantly with standard devices because the full cross section of the top bar ensures greater wear resistance, and smooth operation in guide mode usage.
The big burly top bar is contrasted by our signature I-Beam construction on the non-rope bearing surfaces resulting in low total weight of 72g.
The carabiner comes as standard with a matt grey anodised finish, but can also be supplied with a matt black anodised finish or with more specialist Ceracote finishes in a range of tactical colours from artic white to desert coyote. The Ceracote coatings are also available with a reduced IR signature.
