It weighs 95 g (3.4 oz), opens 23 mm at the gate and holds 22 kN on the horizontal axis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three action sleeve is the argument for this connector over a screwgate. \u003cstrong\u003eIt locks itself, and it takes three deliberate movements to open, which makes accidental release against a rock face or a harness far less likely\u003c\/strong\u003e. Nobody has to remember to lock it, which is the failure mode screwgates keep producing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, the full size pear shape gives a clove hitch or a munter hitch room to roll rather than bind. At 116 x 78 mm this is a genuinely wide HMS, which is what you want when the hitch has to move under load during a lower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, the keylock nose is standard on Kong connectors and it matters most on a belay carabiner. This one gets clipped and unclipped more than anything else on the rack, and a notched nose catches every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe open gate load is 6 kN, and the connector carries EN 362\/B, EN 12275\/B, UIAA and EAC approval. Kong develops and produces it in Italy and tests it piece by piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct-Specific Use Cases\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eKong HMS Classic Auto Block Aluminum Carabiner \u003c\/strong\u003eis a belay and lowering connector for people who want the sleeve to look after itself. It suits instructors and club sessions at the walls across Dubai and Sharjah, where an automatic sleeve removes a repeated check across a group, and anchor building on longer routes in Wadi Bih and the Hajar Mountains where you are working with gloves or cold hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 95 g HMS connector with a three action auto block sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards:\u003c\/strong\u003e EN 362\/B, EN 12275\/B, UIAA, EAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminium alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHorizontal Load:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22 kN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVertical Load:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 kN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpen Gate Load:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 kN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 95 g (3.4 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 116 x 78 mm (4.6 x 3.1 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGate Opening:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23 mm (0.9 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSleeve:\u003c\/strong\u003e Auto block, three movements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Buy at Trekaline\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWant a belay locker that locks itself?
