Quick Links, Screw Links, Maillon Rapide

Quick links are frequently used in climbing, particularly in industrial rope access. When using single-rope techniques, quick links can be used to create secure connections, to connect the rope to an anchor point, or as a cost-effective alternative to a carabiner if it must be left in place. Cavers, paragliders, and event technicians also rely on Maillons Rapides.

Quick links vary according to the material used, their design, size, gate opening, and thickness. Different combinations result in various breaking loads, which, however, regularly and significantly exceed those of carabiners. Quick links certified as connectors according to EN 362, which may be used as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) against falls from height, have minimum breaking loads of 25 kN in the major axis and 10 kN in the minor axis. The manufacturer's breaking load specification only applies when the link is closed. Bending loads on the quick link must be avoided.

At the Kanirope Shop, you will find Maillons Rapides in a wide selection of shapes and sizes. The material of the quick links we offer is generally steel, either as galvanised steel or stainless steel. Stainless steel emergency links are particularly suitable for use on or near water, e.g. for permanent connections on sailing boats (chains, anchors, etc.). weniger anzeigen
