Columbus McKinnon Corporation, a leading designer and manufacturer of intelligent motion solutions, products and technologies for material handling, was recently awarded a patent for a slotted hook latch, which is used on the company’s Clevlok and Quick-Connect sling hooks. Protected by Patent No. 11,390,493, the slotted latch design allows for better seating of the latch in the hook to prevent disengagement or damage to the latch — ultimately keeping loads more secure, reducing the risk of damaged equipment and enhancing operator safety.
