Can hammock carabiners be used for climbing?

No. Hammock carabiners such as the AH003WR are accessory connectors and are not for climbing or fall protection. Product labelling and instructions should state this clearly.

Is a 10 kN maximum load enough for a hammock?

A 10 kN rating is well above the static load of a person resting in a hammock, though dynamic movement and suspension angles increase the force on the hardware. Brands should publish a user load limit and instructions that reflect their own testing.

Why use a wire-gate carabiner for hammocks?

Wire gates keep the carabiner light and easy to clip, which suits quick hammock set-up. The AH003WR weighs 18 g.

What should a hammock carabiner RFQ include?

Specify colour, logo marking, the load figure and warnings to be printed, quantities and retail packaging. Power Honour can supply the AH003WR under private label or modify the design to a customer drawing.

Mountaineering & Climbing Hardware

Hammock Carabiners

1 product

This category covers carabiners made for hammock suspension and general equipment attachment rather than climbing. The AH003WR is a wire-gate carabiner in 6061 aluminium, measuring 80.2 x 45.7 mm and weighing 18 g, with a listed maximum load of 10 kN. In a hammock set-up it connects the hammock to tree straps, and it is equally useful for tarps, bags and camp gear. Hammock carabiners are accessories, not personal protective equipment: they are not for climbing and should be labelled clearly as such. Because no PPE standard applies, buyers should define the load figure and warnings they will publish. The AH003WR can be supplied OEM or private label for hammock and outdoor brands, with anodised colours, logo marking and retail packaging specified by the buyer.
