What is the purpose of a swivel link in a cable pulling operation?

2025-08-14
A Swivel link is a vital connector that allows the pulling rope and the cable to rotate independently of each other. During a long pull, especially with a winch, cables can naturally twist due to the winding action of the rope. Without a Swivel, this twisting motion can build up significant torque, leading to kinks, internal damage, or even catastrophic failure of the cable. By incorporating a high-quality swivel link into the pulling setup, you can eliminate this rotational stress, ensuring a smooth, tangle-free installation and prolonging the life of your cables.
