Edelrid HMS Big Bo Screw carabiner - variants

Product detailed description

The Edelrid HMS Big Bo Screw carabiner is a robust and reliable connecting element, designed for professional use in personal fall protection, work at height, and arboriculture. Its pear shape (HMS) is ideal for efficient belaying, rappelling, and building secure anchor points.

• High strength: The aluminum alloy construction ensures a longitudinal strength of 24 kN, providing a significant safety margin for demanding operations.
• Reliable screw lock: The screw-lock mechanism minimizes the risk of accidental gate opening, increasing the overall safety of the system.
• Large gate opening: The generous gate opening of 26 mm facilitates handling of ropes and other equipment, even with gloves.
• Ergonomic Design: The carabiner's shape is optimized for comfortable and intuitive handling, contributing to user comfort.
• Keylock System: The carabiner's smooth nose prevents snagging on ropes or equipment, simplifying handling and increasing durability.

This carabiner is ideal for professionals requiring reliability and durability. It is suitable for securing with dynamic and static ropes, use with belay and descender devices, and for creating robust anchor systems in industrial climbing and arboriculture. The construction is tested and certified according to relevant standards.

Limitations and compromises

• Weight: Due to its robust construction and size, the carabiner may have a higher weight compared to smaller models, which should be considered when optimizing equipment.
• Regular Inspection: To maintain safety, regular visual inspection of the locking mechanism and the overall condition of the carabiner is essential before each use.
