Whether you are a technician working at height or an avid mountain sports enthusiast, the Castor HMS is the single, reliable connection you can trust for all your vertical adventures. Its robust construction and intelligent design provide superior handling, security, and peace of mind when it matters most.

This exceptional HMS carabiner is fully approved for the Industry Standard EN-362:EPI against falls at heights in the industrial field. This certification makes it an essential piece of personal protective equipment for rope access technicians, arborists, and rescue professionals who demand certified reliability and strength. Its robust build and secure locking mechanism ensure it meets the stringent requirements for workplace safety, providing a steadfast link in your safety chain.

In addition to its professional credentials, the QI´ROC Castor excels in the world of mountain sports. Certified to the EN-12275 standard, it is the perfect companion for mountaineering, rock climbing, speleology, canyoning, and training at climbing gyms (rocodromes). The classic pear-shaped (HMS) design offers a large internal volume and a wide gate opening, making it ideal for belaying with a Munter hitch or managing multiple ropes and devices at an anchor.

Experience flawless operation thanks to its advanced features. The Castor incorporates an automatic closing mechanism of 2 positions (twist-lock), ensuring the gate locks securely with a simple action, minimizing the risk of accidental opening. This quick and intuitive system is enhanced by the integrated Keylok system on the carabiner´s nose. This clean, snag-free design prevents the carabiner from catching on ropes, harnesses, anchor slings, or other gear during critical clipping and unclipping maneuvers, ensuring smooth and efficient transitions every time.

Engineered from a high-strength Al-7075 aluminum alloy, the Castor HMS strikes the perfect balance between durability and low weight, making it a powerful yet manageable addition to your rack or work kit. Quality is paramount, which is why every carabiner undergoes a rigorous quality assurance process. The CE homologation is performed in the UK, and to guarantee absolute functional perfection, an individual function test is conducted on every single piece in Spain before it reaches you.
