How does the cable stopper and latch improve safety during recoveries?

The rubber cable stopper cushions the cable and prevents it from passing entirely through the hook opening, while the spring-loaded safety latch helps keep the connection closed under load. Together, these features reduce the chance of accidental unhooking and minimize wear on the cable termination point.

• Rubber stopper reduces cable abrasion and slippage
• Spring latch secures the load during dynamic pulls
• Clevis pin with split lock resists vibration loosening
