Why Double Ball Bearings Matter
The sealed double ball bearing system is what sets this rescue swivel apart from basic swivels. Ball bearings provide smooth, consistent rotation under load, preventing rope twist that can compromise safety and efficiency. The sealed design keeps dirt, debris, and moisture out, ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments from dusty construction sites to wet rescue scenarios.
Eliminate Rope Twist
When loads rotate during lifting or lowering operations, ropes can quickly become twisted and kinked, creating dangerous situations and damaging expensive rope. This rescue swivel automatically compensates for load rotation, keeping your rope straight and your operation safe. Whether you're hauling gear up a big wall or lowering a rescue subject, the swivel does the work of preventing twist.
Forged Aluminum Advantage
Forged aluminum construction provides the perfect balance of strength and weight. Unlike cast aluminum, forged aluminum has superior grain structure and strength characteristics, making it ideal for life-safety applications. The lightweight design reduces fatigue during long operations and minimizes the overall weight of your rescue or rigging system.
Certified Safety
With both CE EN354 and UL certifications, this rescue swivel meets rigorous international safety standards. These certifications mean the swivel has been independently tested and verified to perform reliably in critical applications where lives depend on equipment performance.
