December 14, 2016 - Combining the CM Hammerlok coupling link with a CM web sling attachment, Columbus McKinnon Corp. has introduced the CM Weblok assembly for synthetic sling lifting applications. The CM Weblok features a double load-pin retention system, using traditional and bolt/lock nut retention. The unique design prevents the load from backing out during extreme use.


“The development of CM Weblok is a direct result of us listening to our customers,” said Troy Raines, chain and rigging product engineering manager. “A team of CMCO application and product specialists, product managers and engineers worked closely with a major automotive manufacturer to address its safety concerns.”


Made in the United States, CM Weblok assemblies are versatile and easy to use. Made of durable forged alloy steel, CM Webloks feature greater ductility, better fatigue life and higher ductile strength than cast parts. CM Weblok Assemblies have a 5:1 design factor and are 100 percent proof tested. They are designed to meet ASTM A9652 and WSTDA-RS1 standards.
