Xinda 3rd Generation H-Series DPM Carabiner: 25kN Breaking Load, Three Gate Options

A professional carabiner that perfectly balances lightweight, strength, and ease of use.

I. Product Overview

In climbing and high-altitude work, the carabiner is the core component that connects everything — harnesses, descenders, pulleys, ropes. A good carabiner must strike the perfect balance between weight, strength, and operational convenience.

The Xinda 3rd Generation H-Series DPM Carabiner (Item No.: HH-9781) does exactly that. With a 25kN major axis breaking loadaluminum alloy construction, and three gate options, it meets the needs of everyone from beginners to professionals.

III. Key Design Features

3.1 High-Strength Aluminum – Lightweight & Strong

The DPM carabiner is made of high-strength aluminum alloy:

FeatureBenefit
LightweightScrew gate version weighs only 68g — no extra burden
Smooth finishWon’t damage ropes
Strong25kN major axis breaking load — safe and reliable

Palm-sized, easy to grip, clip, and hang. At 68g, it weighs less than an egg — you’ll barely notice it on your harness.

3.2 25kN Major Axis Breaking Load – Safety You Can Count On

Load DirectionValueEquivalent
Major Axis25 kNApprox. 2,500 kg
Minor Axis8 kNApprox. 800 kg
Open Gate7 kNApprox. 700 kg

Official description: “25kN breaking load — safe and reliable for outdoor use.”

The 25kN major axis breaking load is more than enough for most climbing and work scenarios, providing ample safety margin for lead climbing falls and suspended loads.

3.3 10kN Factory Testing – Every Unit Verified

Every DPM carabiner undergoes a 10kN breaking load test before leaving the factory:

  • 100% individual testing
  • Ensures each carabiner meets the specified strength
  • Eliminates the risk of “batch pass but individual defect”

Official description: “Each carabiner is tested to 10kN before leaving the factory, ensuring quality and peace of mind.”

This is a key differentiator. Many brands only perform batch sampling, but Xinda tests every single DPM carabiner.

3.4 CE Certified – Meets EN 12275 Standard

The DPM carabiner carries CE 1019 EN 12275 certification:

  • CE 1019: Notified Body number
  • EN 12275: EU standard for mountaineering carabiners

This means the product meets EU requirements for personal protective equipment across design, manufacturing, and testing.

3.5 Three Gate Options – One Carabiner for Every Scenario

The DPM carabiner is available in three gate types:

Gate TypeWeightFeaturesBest For
Screw gate68gClassic screw closure; easy one-handed operation even with thick glovesTraditional climbing, general connections
Auto-lock76gGate locks automatically when closed; reduces accidental openingRescue, high-altitude work, frequent opening/closing
Triple-lock76gThree-step opening sequence; maximum accidental opening preventionHigh-risk environments, complex conditions

Screw gate: Simple and reliable. Even with thick gloves, you can easily operate it with one hand. The most popular choice among traditional climbers.

Auto-lock: The gate locks automatically when closed, significantly reducing the chance of accidental opening. Ideal for rescue and industrial applications where carabiners are opened and closed frequently.

Triple-lock: Requires three distinct actions to open, offering the highest level of accidental opening prevention for demanding environments.

Official description: “Smooth and convenient auto-lock — the gate locks automatically, reducing the risk of accidental operation.”

VII. Usage Guidelines

  1. Check the gate — Before each use, ensure the gate is fully closed and locked
  2. Avoid cross-loading — Carabiners are strongest along the major axis; avoid loading the minor axis or open gate
  3. Regular inspection — Check for cracks, deformation, or wear
  4. Clean and maintain — Remove dirt regularly; keep screw gate threads clean
  5. Avoid dropping — A dropped carabiner may develop invisible cracks; replace if dropped
  6. Proper use — Ensure equipment is correctly seated in the carabiner; avoid triple-loading
  7. Replace periodically — Replace every 3–5 years depending on frequency of use

VIII. Which Gate Should You Choose?

If you…Recommended
Want the lightest weight, classic reliabilityScrew gate (68g)
Wear gloves often, need frequent opening/closingAuto-lock (76g)
Have high requirements for accidental opening preventionTriple-lock (76g)

The screw gate is the lightest at just 68g. The auto-lock and triple-lock are slightly heavier but offer greater convenience and safety for professional applications.


IX. Who Is It For?

  • Rock climbers — Screw gate is lightweight and reliable
  • Mountaineers — Essential for lightweight gear setups
