Combining the industry-leading CM Hammerlok® coupling link with a CM web sling attachment, Columbus McKinnon Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCO), a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of material handling products, systems and services, introduces the CM Weblok™ Assembly for synthetic sling lifting applications.
Unlike any of its competitors, the CM Weblok features a double load pin retention system, using both traditional and bolt/lock nut retention.

As a result, Columbus McKinnon delivered a safe and viable solution when our competition couldn’t.”
