As the lift starts, each ball rolls up its taper and wedges against the wall. More load means more grip.

01

Stab in

The tool slides into the receptacle, pile or pipe. The balls sit free in their cage.

02

Lock under load

As the lift starts, each ball rolls up its taper and wedges against the wall. More load means more grip.

03

Release at zero load

With the load off, the cage lifts the balls clear. Remote release, no divers.
