Product information & specifications
Rock Exotica SS1 Shackle Swivel (.75" Shackle Width)
The Rock Exotica SS1 Shackle Swivel is designed to save valuable headspace by allowing webbing, rope eyes or thimbles to be connected directly to the swivel without the need for a carabiner. This makes it ideal for compact rigging systems, aerial work positioning, rescue setups and industrial applications where overall system length and tidy alignment are critical.
The SS1 features a robust steel shackle bolt (9.5 mm), offering increased durability when used with steel carabiners, wire cable or other high-wear hardware. Its compact dimensions and high-strength construction make it a popular choice for professionals who require a swivel that can withstand repeated loading in demanding environments.
With a 36 kN Breaking Strength and a 5 kN Working Load, the SS1 delivers excellent performance in a small, efficient package. Weighing just 163 g, it provides reliability without adding unnecessary bulk to your rigging or climbing system. The SS1 model is also CE certified.
