AMH introduces new CDFXA shortening hook assemblies from Cartec
All Material Handling is excited to
introduce the new CARTEC Grab-IT
clevis shortening hook line. The CDFXA
is available in one single hook piece,
but also with an integrated master link
for one, two, and four leg chain slings.
This a great addition to a quality line of
Grade 100 chain fittings from CARTEC.
Sizes range from 9/32” to 5/8”, giving the
CFDXA a more complete offering than
the competition. CDFX individual hooks
are available down to 7/32”.
Adjustable chain slings are quite
common, but the conventional way of
constructing those is changing. The
Grab-IT offers the ability to have an
adjustable sling, with less components than the conventional method. For example,
let’s look at a 2-leg adjustable
chain sling bridle: the CDFXA2, for
instance, will reduce the number of
fittings at the top of the sling from 7
pieces down to just 3. That assembly offers
the functionality of a master link,
connecting link and grab hook.
There is no need for an adjuster leg. Having less
hardware typically means less weight,
which is another plus. Fewer components also means there
is less hardware to inspect for wear
or damage. Get the job done more efficiently
by spending less time on prelift
inspections. Riggers can now have
these benefits while maintaining the
versatility of an adjustable sling for
a variety of loads. There is benefit for
those assembling adjustable slings, as
there are less fittings to mechanically
attach, potentially saving time and labor
costs as a result.
High quality Italian forged chain
fittings, competitively priced, and
readily available from stock in the
US makes for a winning combination.
