A712WRS Aluminium Wire-Gate Carabiner

Listed at 23 kN on the major axis and 7 kN for minor-axis and gate-open loading, the A712WRS is a wire-gate carabiner in aluminium alloy that weighs 50 g and opens to 30 mm. Those figures are shared with its companion model, the A712WRB, and both sit in the same A712 series as the solid-gate NB, NS and SG versions.

Brands use wire-gate carabiners like this to build lighter quickdraws, alpine draws and racking carabiners for trad gear. A wire gate has less mass to flutter open under impact and is less likely to freeze shut in winter conditions.

When specifying the A712WRS, request its drawing alongside the A712WRB to select the version that fits the design, and state colour, marking and packaging. Power Honour can manufacture it under private label or adapt it to a customer drawing.
