Product Information
Full details
The SecureFix Direct Grade 80 Swivel Eye Eye is an essential tool for professionals in the lifting and rigging industry who require a secure, tangle-free connection for chains and shackles. Its primary benefit is the rotating design, which effectively prevents load twisting and chain knotting, though users should note it is strictly for industrial lifting applications and must be used within its 2-ton load capacity limits.

FAQs
Can I use this swivel for overhead lifting?
Yes, this is a Grade 80 component specifically designed for the lifting industry and overhead applications provided it is used within its 2-tonne limit.
Does this swivel work with 8mm chains?
No, this swivel is precision-engineered for 7mm chains; using larger chains may lead to improper seating and dangerous rigging conditions.
How often should I inspect the swivel?
You should perform a visual inspection before every lift and a more detailed documented inspection at regular intervals based on usage frequency.
Can the swivel be lubricated?
Yes, a light application of industrial-grade lubricant can help maintain smooth rotation, but ensure it does not attract excessive grit or debris.
What happens if I exceed the 2-ton weight limit?
Exceeding the rated capacity can lead to metal fatigue, permanent deformation, or catastrophic failure of the rigging assembly.
Troubleshooting
Swivel does not rotate freely under load
Ensure no debris is caught in the joint and check if the swivel has been overloaded, which may cause internal deformation.
Visible wear on the inside of the eyelet
This is a sign of long-term metal-on-metal contact. The component must be retired from service if the wear exceeds manufacturer guidelines.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Prevents chain tangling and twisting during use
- Robust Grade 80 steel construction ensures safety
- Compact and easy to install between rigging components
- Smooth rotation under load for easy positioning
Cons
- Limited to 2-ton capacity; do not exceed this limit
- Requires regular inspection for wear and metal fatigue
- Not suitable for non-industrial or overhead applications without proper certification
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure safety, verify that the shackles and chains used are compatible with 7mm hardware and are rated for at least the same working load limit as the swivel. Always ensure the swivel is fully seated within the connecting shackle. Care should involve regular visual inspections for cracks, deformation, or excessive wear on the eye openings. If the swivel becomes stiff, clean it to remove debris, and if movement remains compromised, the unit should be replaced immediately. Store in a dry, corrosion-resistant environment when not in use.
