The Galvanised Forged Bow/Bow Swivel is a heavy duty rotating connection designed for use in marine and industrial environments where both strength and corrosion resistance are required. The bow-to-bow shape provides a wider connection profile, allowing better articulation with shackles, chain and rope assemblies under load.
Manufactured from forged steel and hot dip galvanised, this swivel is built to withstand constant exposure to water, salt and weather. The galvanised coating provides long term protection against corrosion, making it suitable for permanent or semi-permanent outdoor installations.
The integrated swivel mechanism allows controlled rotation, preventing twist build-up in mooring lines, anchor chains and rigging systems. Without a swivel, rotation from tide, wind or load movement transfers stress into the rope or chain, leading to premature wear and potential failure.
Available sizes:
13mm, 16mm, 20mm, 22mm
Each size should be matched to the working system, including chain size, shackle pin diameter or rope assembly. Correct sizing ensures proper load distribution and safe operation.
Typical uses include:
Mooring systems and harbour installations
Anchor chain connections
Marine rigging and deck hardware
Floating pontoons and buoy setups
General heavy duty rotating connections
This is not just a connector. It is used to prevent system failure caused by twisting and uneven load. In marine environments, that problem appears quickly. A properly sized galvanised swivel protects the entire assembly and extends service life.
