NRS Nuq Screw Lock Carabiner

The Nuq is built to meet CE EN362 and EN12275 safety standards, ensuring it holds up under the high-stakes demands of rescue operations. Its hot-forged aluminum alloy construction provides a high strength-to-weight ratio, offering a major axis strength of 28 kN.

Yes, the carabiner features a wide gate opening designed specifically for quick and efficient clipping. It is spacious enough to handle the bulkier ropes and multiple rigging points often encountered in rescue scenarios.

Yes, it features a keylock nose design. This prevents the carabiner from snagging on ropes, webbing, or gear loops, which is essential for smooth operation when you need to move quickly.

The manual screw-lock is reliable and tactile, giving you clear feedback that the gate is secure. While manual locks are generally more robust than auto-locking mechanisms in dirty or icy environments, they do require you to manually verify that the sleeve is fully threaded shut.

While it is designed for professional rescue, the hot-forged aluminum construction keeps the weight manageable. It is a solid, durable choice if you prioritize strength and security over shaving every possible gram of weight.
