Lindnerhof has unveiled its latest innovation in tactical gear—a cutting-edge heavy-duty carrying system dubbed “The Beast.” This new system is engineered specifically for elite units requiring the capability to carry heavy weapons and bulky mission-critical equipment into the field on foot and is available to UK police and military units through Viking Arms.
Built to Tackle the Toughest Loads
With the ability to carry over 20 kilograms of tactical gear across difficult terrains, The Beast offers operators a unique combination of load capacity, comfort, and modular versatility. Designed for durability and ease of use, the system consists of a robust carrying frame and a detachable carrier plate—forming the core of a versatile 5-in-1 platform. Operators can customise it further with accessories such as a multipurpose cover, backpack, additional pouches, and other attachments using strategically placed mounting points.
Enhanced Comfort for Extended Operations
A standout feature of The Beast is its ergonomic carrying frame with reinforced padding that conforms to the natural shape of the user’s back. Lindnerhof has engineered the system to reduce pressure points, ensuring operators experience maximum comfort even when wearing a plate carrier simultaneously. This design helps prevent fatigue, allowing personnel to carry heavy loads for longer periods without discomfort.
Quick-Release Safety Mechanism
Recognising the need for agility and safety in the field, Lindnerhof has integrated a quick-release function into The Beast. This allows users to instantly drop their load in emergencies. Contact surfaces feature breathable mesh material, promoting airflow and quick drying to keep operators comfortable in all conditions.
Modular and Mission-Ready
The carrier plate attaches seamlessly to the carrying frame and boasts an array of attachment points capable of securing anti-tank weapons, heavy weapon systems, and other essential gear. The modular design allows operators to pre-configure multiple carrier plates for different mission profiles, ensuring swift transitions between loadouts.
Optimised Load Distribution
The Beast’s intelligent weight distribution system evenly transfers the load to the carrying frame, reducing strain and enhancing stability. Integrated fixation systems prevent unwanted movement, minimising fatigue by ensuring the load remains secure and stable, even during rapid manoeuvres.
Key Features at a Glance:
- Load Mounting Options: Direct connection between equipment carrier, frame, and load carrier with secure fastening.
- Adjustable Fit: Shoulder straps, chest strap height, back length, and waist belt stabilisation.
- Quick-Release: Emergency load drop capability.
- Plate Carrier Compatibility: Optional cushioning for improved comfort when wearing a plate carrier.
- Protective Cover: Dust, spray, and snow protection with roll-up closure.
- Versatile Configuration: Equipment carrier attaches via buckles or directly mounts to the frame using connecting pins.
Designed to keep up with the demanding requirements of elite forces, The Beast represents a new standard in heavy load carrying systems. It is now available for order exclusively through Viking Arms.
