Stainless Steel Swivels

A swivel allows connected hardware to rotate relative to the opposite end, helping relieve twist in chain, wire-rope and general rigging assemblies. It does not correct poor alignment or replace proper system design.

Choose the end connection that physically matches the adjoining components. Eyes accept compatible hooks, shackles or links; jaws capture an eye or plate between the cheeks and secure it with a pin.

A chain swivel is shaped to connect within a compatible chain assembly while allowing rotation. Confirm the chain size, end geometry, pin or link dimensions and the rating of the complete assembly.

Those labels describe different construction families and dimensional series. They are not interchangeable capacity claims. Compare the published dimensions, material, proof or working-load information and intended service for the exact size.

A no-snag design reduces exposed pin features that can catch on line or nearby hardware. It can be useful where a smoother profile is desirable, but the exact locking method and inspection requirements must still be followed.

Yes. The families cataloged on this page are 316 stainless steel. Confirm the grade and finish of pins, retaining parts and every connected component before installation.

Only when the exact swivel and every part of the assembly are expressly rated and approved for the intended lifting service. Product appearance, stainless grade or price alone does not establish a lifting rating.

Check the body, eyes, jaws, pins and retainers for wear, cracks, distortion, corrosion, binding and excessive play. The swivel should rotate freely under appropriate unloaded conditions and damaged parts should be removed from service.

Confirm end connection, overall length, eye opening, jaw width, pin diameter, body size, rotation clearance, stainless grade, expected load, environment and the capacity of every adjoining component.
