WICHARD Asymmetric Carabiner 12 mm – Ultimate Reliability for Anchoring and Mooring
Secure your vessel with the uncompromising strength and reliability of the WICHARD Asymmetric Carabiner 12 mm. Engineered for the most demanding marine environments, this essential piece of hardware is the professional’s choice for critical anchoring and mooring applications. When safety and performance cannot be compromised, trust in Wichard´s legacy of excellence to provide unparalleled peace of mind on the water.
Designed and manufactured in France, this carabiner is the result of state-of-the-art engineering and decades of maritime expertise. Its primary benefit lies in its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, achieved through a meticulous hot-forging manufacturing process. This technique creates a single, solid piece with a superior internal grain structure, eliminating the inherent weak points found in cast or welded alternatives and ensuring maximum durability and fatigue resistance.
The distinct asymmetric “D” shape is a key feature, intelligently designed to transfer the majority of the load onto the spine—the carabiner´s strongest axis. This not only maximizes its load-bearing capacity but also provides a generous gate opening, allowing for quick and easy attachment to ropes, anchor chains, bridles, and deck hardware, even when wearing gloves.
Key Benefits and Features:
*Outstanding Strength and Safety: Hot-forged in a single piece to deliver remarkable working and breaking loads, providing a crucial safety factor for all anchoring and mooring tasks.
*Superior Corrosion Resistance: Crafted from a specialized marine-grade alloy and finished with a meticulous polish, it offers exceptional protection against saltwater, rust, and pitting, guaranteeing a long and reliable service life.
*Optimized Performance: The asymmetric design ensures optimal load distribution for maximum strength, while the smooth, snag-free gate allows for effortless operation.
*Versatile On-Deck Applications: An indispensable tool for a wide range of uses, including securing anchor snubbers, connecting mooring lines, attaching halyards, securing fenders, or creating a robust attachment point anywhere on your boat.
As one of the most trusted Carabiners in the maritime world, the WICHARD 12 mm model is an essential component for any serious boater´s equipment locker.
