A cable pulling Swivel is a small but critical attachment that is placed between the pulling grip and the winch rope. Its sole purpose is to prevent the buildup of rotational tension as the cable unspools from the drum and is pulled through the conduit.

As a cable is pulled, it often wants to twist. Without a Swivel, this twisting force, or torque, would travel along the cable, potentially causing:

• Kinking: The cable can form tight, permanent kinks, which severely compromise its integrity.

• Internal Damage: The twisting can damage the internal conductors and insulation.

• Sheath Damage: The outer jacket can be torn or abraded as a result of the twisting.

A high-quality, high-capacity swivel rotates freely under load, absorbing all rotational forces and ensuring the cable is pulled smoothly and without damage.
