October 17, 2016 - Crosby has introduced the SL-150 Slide-Loc, which features a new design with different features than traditional eye bolts. The Slide-Loc transitions from secure installation and swivel positioning to a reliable lift without the use of any tools. 

One key design elements of the SL-150 Slide-Loc is the patent-pending integrated locking mechanism. Users can slide the mechanism into one of two positions: against the bolt to lock into the installation/removal position, or away from the bolt to enable the lifting position.

A red QUIC-Check mark is visible when the installation position is engaged, indicating that the bolt is ready to be installed and not ready for lifting. Once properly installed, slide the locking mechanism to conceal the QUIC-Check mark, and the Crosby Slide-Loc is ready for lifting. The whole process is achieved by hand without tools.

Another important difference between the Crosby Slide-Loc and traditional eye bolts is the generous eye opening. This feature allows for easy rigging access and a firm grip when installing. The bail also swivels 360° to keep the load properly aligned with the sling leg. The best part of this feature? It maintains full Working Load Limit at any angle. Gone are the days of downgrading due to angular lifting, as is required when using traditional eye bolts. The Crosby SL-150 Slide-Loc is rated at 100% whether in line with the load or at a 45° or 90° angle.
