Thanks his Integrated Research and Development Department (CAD/CAM/3D printer) which has just developed and patented its new BLOKMI shortening hook which can be unlocked with just one hand.

The self-locking BLOKMI® shortening hook will replace the traditional hook and safety pin from 2022 onwards.

The idea is simple: Currently, the safety pin is frequently removed by operators to make it easier to install the unit and save time. However, stowing standards require that it be used.  This leads to a safety problem for people and a stowing problem for goods.

To solve this recurring problem, a problem we have seen in the field and in our workshops, the ID MAT design office has developed an innovative alloyed steel hook which is both ergonomic and ultra-robust. This hook locks automatically and can be unlocked with one hand, using the sliding trigger. It’s easy to use: A single person can install it with no physical effort.
