Rhino HMS

The Rhino HMS carabiner tackles cross loading head on! The horn feature on the leading edge of the spine significantly reduces the possibility of cross loading with rigging, devices and pulleys by restricting the rotation of devices, whilst the clean nose design provides snag-free gate entry. The smooth and robust top bar is contrasted by our signature I-Beam construction on the non-rope bearing surfaces.

HMS for space and rigging

HMS connectors are pear shaped and often have similar characteristics to ovals in how they deal with loaded components, i.e. they also allow devices and connectors to self-centre. Moreover, the extended basket allows for additional component connection. Knots in a system such as an Italian hitch can rotate easily between taking in and paying out (even with larger diameter ropes). In general, HMS connectors are slightly oversized to accommodate the added volume of bigger ropes and to feel secure in a gloved hand.

Keylock clean nose for snag free connection

DMM's patented 'Taperlock' closing mechanism increases gate push-in and cross gate strength using a special flared profile on the nose of the carabiner, as well as allowing a snag free connection for your ropes, slings and devices.

Wide, full radius basket provides a rope and device friendly operation

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.

Introducing the Rhino

Rhino product features

An overview of the features and benefits of the Rhino HMS carabiner.

Kwiklock - Auto-locking gate requiring two separate actions to open. Kwiklock gates are suitable when auto-locking gates are a necessity, but rigging systems are relatively static and anchor points are easy to monitor.

Locksafe - An auto-locking gate requiring three separate actions to open. Locksafe gates give extra security in complex rigging systems such as those featuring running ropes or remote anchor points.

Screwgate - Non auto-locking gate which requires two actions to open, and is easy to use with one hand. Screwgates are suitable in systems where anchor points can be easily monitored and are unlikely to be affected by running ropes.
