Introduction
The 25KN D-shape Professional Carabiner is an indispensable tool for climbers, rappellers, and outdoor enthusiasts. Its robust construction, reliable locking mechanism, and versatile design make it an essential piece of safety equipment for a wide range of activities, from rock climbing to mountaineering and canyoneering.
Features and Benefits
1. Aviation Aluminum Alloy Construction: Forged from lightweight and durable aviation aluminum alloy, the 25KN Carabiner boasts exceptional strength and corrosion resistance. This alloy is known for its ability to withstand high loads and impact forces, ensuring reliability even in the most demanding conditions.
2. 25KN Load Capacity: This carabiner has a remarkable load capacity of 25kN (2,500kg), making it suitable for a range of heavy-duty applications. Its high strength-to-weight ratio allows for maximum performance without unnecessary bulk or weight.
3. Screw Gate Locking Mechanism: The screw gate locking mechanism provides a secure and reliable connection by threading the gate into the body of the carabiner. This mechanism minimizes the risk of accidental opening, reducing the chance of disengagement and ensuring user safety.
4. Palm-Sized Design: The 25KN Carabiner is compact and palm-sized, allowing for easy handling and single-handed operation. This ergonomic design is particularly useful for climbers and rappellers who need quick and efficient gear adjustments.
5. Versatile Applications: Besides its primary use in climbing and rappelling, the 25KN Carabiner has numerous other applications. It can be securely attached to backpacks, ropes of tents, hammocks, and canopies, making it an all-purpose tool for outdoor activities.

Usage and Maintenance
Proper usage and maintenance are essential to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of the 25KN Carabiner. Inspect the carabiner regularly for any signs of damage or wear. If any defects or cracks are found, the carabiner should be retired to prevent potential failure.
Always keep the carabiner clean by rinsing it with fresh water after exposure to salt or other corrosive substances. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents for cleaning. Store the carabiner in a dry and protected location when not in use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between a 25KN and a 50KN carabiner?
- The main difference lies in their load capacity. A 25KN carabiner can withstand 2,500kg of force, while a 50KN carabiner can withstand 5,000kg. For most climbing and rappelling activities, a 25KN carabiner is sufficient. However, for heavy-duty applications or specific situations, a 50KN carabiner may be more appropriate.
2. Can I use the 25KN Carabiner for belaying?
- While the 25KN Carabiner is suitable for many climbing and rappelling applications, it is not recommended for use as a primary belay carabiner due to its smaller size and potential for cross-loading. A dedicated belay carabiner with a larger size and a keylock mechanism is a safer choice for this purpose.
3. How often should I inspect my carabiner?
- It is recommended to inspect your carabiner regularly for any signs of damage or wear, especially after each use or exposure to harsh conditions. Check for cracks, deformation, or any other abnormalities. If any defects are found, the carabiner should be retired to prevent potential failure.
