Product details
Swivels are specialized rigging components designed to allow rotation, which is essential for managing load movement and preventing twisting during lifting operations. They are particularly useful in situations where loads may sway or spin, such as when using wire ropes or in windy conditions. Types of Swivels Ball Bearing Swivels: These allow for free rotation under load, helping to control load movement and prevent kinking in the rigging. They contain bearings that facilitate smooth rotation, making them ideal for dynamic lifting scenarios. Positioning Swivels: Unlike ball bearing swivels, these are designed to allow rotation only for positioning purposes and cannot swivel under load. They are typically used to connect hooks to pick points without the ability to rotate while the load is lifted.
