Ferno Maillon Rapide Twist Shape - Zinc
Maillon Rapide Twist Shape Quick Link
A Twist Shape Maillon Rapide, or quick link, is a metal link for anchor and rigging connections that works much like a carabiner. The Twist is shaped with a 90 degree twist between its two ends, which turns the connection square and makes it ideal for smooth PPE connections where a straight link would sit awkwardly.
That twisted geometry is why it suits industrial safety, fall arrest systems, work restraint, work positioning and rope access, as well as mountaineering and climbing. Like every Maillon Rapide it closes with a threaded sleeve that tightens over a thread instead of a hinged gate, which makes it stronger than a comparable karabiner and secure once done up. It comes in a 7mm standard and an 8mm large opening version, both in zinc coated steel. Browse more karabiners and connectors, the wider rigging gear range, or the full Ferno range. It pairs with the Standard Maillon Rapide and the Delta Maillon Rapide.

What is the twist shape for?
The Twist has a 90 degree twist between its two ends, which squares up the connection. That makes it ideal for smooth PPE connections in fall arrest, work restraint, work positioning and rope access, where a straight link would sit awkwardly.
What sizes are available?
It comes in a 7mm standard version and an 8mm large opening version, both in zinc coated steel. The large opening makes it easier to connect to bulkier hardware.
How does it compare to the Standard and Delta links?
The Standard is an oval link for general two way loads and the Delta is triangular for three way loads. The Twist is shaped to square a PPE connection, so the three cover different connection geometries.
