You may already use so called ‘swivel’ hooks. But did you know that ‘standard’ swivel hooks do NOT swivel when loaded? These hooks do NOT have a thrust bearing but the load retention nut sits directly on the hook support. This allows the user to just ‘position’ the hook by hand into the correct load direction by turning when not loaded. Once loaded, the hook is locked into that position. These ‘Standard’ swivel hooks are not designed to rotate under load. Any forceful introduced rotational torque can damage the hook and put the sling out of service.
Unirope’s Thrust Bearing Swivel Self Locking Hooks are designed to rotate when loaded (to exactly position the load) and will not allow any chain twist to be transferred to the load. They are identified by the safety-green colour of the thrust bearing.
Available from stock for alloy chain sizes ranging from 7/32” (5.5 mm) to 1” (26 mm)
