Answer from Ningbo Changshi: Proper maintenance is key to extending the life of your Swivels and ensuring maximum safety. A cable pulling Swivel, like any piece of professional equipment, is only as reliable as its last inspection.

We recommend the following maintenance practices:

1. Visual Inspection (Before Each Use): Before every pull, visually inspect the swivel for any signs of damage, such as cracks, bends, or excessive wear on the body, eyes, or pins. Check for smooth rotation without any binding or excessive play.

2. Lubrication: Regularly grease the swivel’s bearing mechanism as specified by the manufacturer. High-quality, waterproof grease helps purge contaminants and ensures smooth operation, especially in harsh or wet environments.

3. Cleaning: After use, clean the swivel to remove any dirt, mud, or debris, particularly from the rotating parts. A clean swivel is less likely to seize up or fail on the next job.

4. Storage: Store swivels in a clean, dry location to prevent rust and corrosion.

By following these simple steps, you can prevent premature wear, maintain the swivel’s load-bearing capacity, and ensure it performs flawlessly when it matters most.
