The WAMlock fastening system has been designed for use in areas where traditional fastening methods cannot be utilized or are simply not practical. The design intent of the WAMlock system is to have the ability to mount the lining system from a single side eliminating the need for external resources to install and tighten nuts etc. This makes the WAMlock system ideal for applications such as the inside of gyratory crusher discharge cavities, large hoppers where external access is restricted or any area where access to fasteners is limited.
