Raumer lower off Minitop 8mm – AISI 316L

The Raumer lower off Minitop 8mm is a round flap with a fixed screw link. Firstly, it consists of 8mm round steel. Secondly, the permanently integrated screw link can be opened and closed. In addition, the ring-like shape allows a lot of space in the carabiner eyelet. The round steel makes the lanyard extremely gentle on the rope and carabiner. Thirdly, these types of lugs are therefore ideal for constructing rope railings.

As the name suggests, the lanyard is intended as a lower off. It is also very popular with abseilers and cavers. It is also very useful in the home or for hobbies. Because you can hang up hammocks, for example. Or organize gear in the basement, hang up lines, and, and, and…

Raumer Raumer lower off Minitop – best steel quality

This lug is made of AISI 316L steel (A4 steel). It can therefore be used anywhere in the Alpine region. It is best mounted with 8mm or 10mm A4 steel expansion bolt to prevent galvanic corrosion. Like all Raumer products, this bracket is simply passivated. This means that the protective outer layer has been further strengthened by an acid bath.

In short: the Mini Top is a good choice!
