MAKO 0551-25 buckle assembled

MAKO Quick-Release Tactical Buckle

Loading frames…

Stainless Steel

600 kg pull-tested

The load-critical choice. Engineered for mission-critical load-bearing systems where breaking load matters — independently proof-loaded with full traceability.

Aluminium

Weight-saving aluminium

Aluminium for non-load-critical applications where grams matter more than breaking load. Finished with Anodised, Powder Coated, Cerakote or IR-compliant coatings.

Modular Architecture

One platform.
Five webbing sizes.

The MAKO accepts 25mm, 30mm, 40mm, 45mm and 50mm webbing — and the male and female halves can be specified independently. Adapt one end to a chest rig, the other to a leg strap, without changing the locking mechanism.

In the field

Built for the way it's carried

From plate carriers to load-bearing belts and expedition packs — the MAKO adapts to the platform, not the other way around.
