West Bridgewater, MA – May 14, 2025 – Double E Group, a global leader in material handling and converting solutions for the paper, film, foil, and flexible packaging industries, proudly announces the launch of its newly upgraded Auto-Lock™ II Safety Chuck — an evolution of the World’s Safest Safety Chuck™. Engineered with advanced ergonomic enhancements, a smooth and positive auto-locking mechanism and an exclusive Fail-Safe Closing™ technology, the upgraded Auto-Lock™ II sets new benchmarks for operational safety, efficiency, and ease of use in winding applications.
The new Auto-Lock™ II Safety Chuck builds on the proven success of its predecessor with a redesigned mechanism that operators can open and close effortlessly — even with one hand. Its sleek, rounded design not only eliminates the dangerous pinch points of competitor’s safety chucks, but also provides improved visibility when loading shafts and rolls, making roll changes faster, safer, and more precise. The enhanced auto-locking mechanism, utilizing preloaded spring tension to automatically secure the shaft the moment rotation begins — requires less operator interaction while dramatically increasing safety and productivity.
Auto-Lock™ II Safety Chucks deliver premium safety and productivity performance at the same price point as pneumatic safety chucks — without the need for compressed air, plumbing, or sensors. With fewer components to maintain, Auto-Lock™ II offers long-term reliability and lower total cost of ownership.
Key Features and Benefits:
"The upgraded Auto-Lock™ II Safety Chuck represents a significant leap forward in safety, performance, and operator experience," said Kyle Willis, CEO at Double E Group. "By enhancing visibility, reducing operator interaction, and eliminating external machine requirements, we’ve engineered a solution that’s not only safer and smarter, but also more economical for manufacturers worldwide."
Designed for industries including paper, film, foil, and flexible packaging, the Auto-Lock™ II Safety Chuck delivers unmatched safety, simplicity, and value to roll handling processes globally.
