Vortex Swivel

The Vortex Swivel has a breaking strength of 22kN (kilonewtons), which means it can withstand a significant amount of force before failing. This high breaking strength is crucial for climbers, as it ensures safety and reliability when handling heavy loads during climbing activities.

The Vortex Swivel measures 86 x 39mm. These dimensions are important because they determine how well the swivel fits with other climbing gear and how easy it is to handle. A compact size can enhance maneuverability and reduce bulk in your climbing setup.

The claimed weight of the Vortex Swivel is 3oz. This lightweight design is essential for climbers who want to minimize the overall weight of their gear, making it easier to carry and manage during climbs while still ensuring safety and functionality.

A swivel allows two parts to rotate independently, which is vital for preventing ropes from twisting and tangling during use. The Vortex Swivel helps maintain smooth operation in your climbing system, reducing the risk of a tangled mess and ensuring efficient gear handling.

The Vortex Swivel connects seamlessly to a pulley, allowing for easier lifting and movement of heavy loads. By incorporating a swivel into your pulley system, you can enhance the efficiency of your hauling setup, making it an essential component for climbers who need to manage gear effectively.

While the Vortex Swivel is specifically designed for climbing, its robust construction and high breaking strength make it suitable for various applications that require reliable load management, such as rescue operations or industrial lifting. Always ensure that it meets the specific requirements of your activity for optimal safety.
