DMM Compact Swivel Convertors – D & Bow
The DMM Compact Swivel Convertors provide a space-saving, high-efficiency solution for managing torsion in climbing and rigging systems. Designed to retrofit into the DMM Compact Swivel ecosystem, these convertors allow you to connect directly to fixed loops such as wire strops, rigging plates, harness bridges and textile anchor points.
The two-way locking spindle enables secure attachment, while the fixed eye can be clipped, spliced, swaged or integrated using a Prest-in configuration aid if required. Available in D-shackle and Bow-shackle sizes, the system can be optimised for single, tidy attachment points or more complex, multi-directional loading setups.
Constructed using hot-forged aluminium shackles and CNC-machined swivel bodies, the convertors feature roller thrust bearings for smooth rotation and a user-maintainable grease port to extend bearing life. Double-locking stainless-steel axles ensure outstanding durability in professional arborist, rescue and rigging environments.
