The Crosby 3T 3 S5 is a high-performance, thrust bearing eye and eye swivel designed to handle heavy loads while preventing cable and rope damage. As part of Crosby’s renowned 3T series, this swivel incorporates a robust thrust bearing assembly, allowing it to manage significant axial loads and rotate freely under tension. This eliminates line twist, reduces wear, and enhances safety and efficiency in a wide range of lifting, pulling, and rigging operations.
Engineered for durability and reliability, this swivel is a critical component for anyone who requires dependable rotation in their rigging systems.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Thrust Bearing Design:Â The integrated thrust bearing is specifically engineered to handle high axial (thrust) loads, making it far superior to standard swivels for applications where heavy loads are suspended and need to rotate.
-
Prevents Line Twist:Â Allows connected components to rotate freely, eliminating dangerous and damaging torque build-up in wire rope, synthetic slings, and chain. This extends the service life of your rigging equipment.
-
Heavy-Duty Construction:Â Forged from high-strength, quenched and tempered alloy steel for exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and impact resistance.
-
Crosby Quality & Reliability:Â Manufactured to the highest industry standards. Each swivel is proof tested to ensure performance and safety you can trust.
-
Easy Identification:Â Clearly marked with model, lot number, and Working Load Limit (WLL) for quick inspection and compliance.
-
Versatile Application:Â Ideal for construction, manufacturing, marine, oil & gas, and any industrial lifting scenario where rotation is a factor.
