Product information & specifications
PETZL SWIVEL – High-Performance Ball Bearing Swivel
The PETZL SWIVEL is a high-performance ball bearing swivel designed to efficiently prevent rope twisting when a load is turning. Available in two convenient sizes, this essential component is ideal for arborists, riggers, rescue professionals, and anyone managing rotating loads in complex rope systems across the UK.
The core of the SWIVEL's performance lies in its sealed ball bearings. These precision bearings ensure excellent performance and reliability, allowing the swivel to rotate smoothly even under significant loads. This smooth rotation effectively dissipates rotational forces, preventing ropes, lanyards, and other equipment from twisting, kinking, or developing dangerous tangles.
By eliminating twists, the PETZL SWIVEL not only prolongs the lifespan of your ropes and gear but also significantly enhances safety and operational efficiency during lifting, lowering, or dynamic positioning tasks.
Key Features
- Prevents the rope from twisting when the load is turning
- Excellent performance and reliability due to maintenance-free sealed ball bearings
- SWIVEL S: designed for one-person loads, compact
- SWIVEL L: designed for two-person loads, up to three connectors can be attached in the ends
Sizing
- SWIVEL S – compact design, rated for one-person loads
- SWIVEL L – larger design rated for two-person loads, with up to three connectors attachable at each end
Why Choose the PETZL SWIVEL?
Twisted rope isn't just an inconvenience — it accelerates wear and can compromise how a system performs under load, especially during lifting and lowering where rotation is constant. The sealed, maintenance-free bearings genuinely keep working smoothly under significant load rather than seizing up, which matters when the swivel is a critical link in a rigging or positioning system.
