ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for the loading and unloading of material is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a latching and unlatching mechanism that safely and efficiently releases an attached load from a sling after the load has been transported to the desired location. The apparatus further comprises a load-activated locking mechanism that prevents inadvertent release of the attached load, yet is adjustable to the weight of the lifting slings and hardware so as to prevent a premature locking.
