Regular Inspection: Before use, check that the swivel rotates smoothly without jamming; inspect the hook body and pivot pin for cracks, deformation, or excessive wear.
Proper Connection: Ensure the lifting point is securely connected and the locking device (if any) is in the locked position.
Avoid Overloading: Do not exceed the rated working load.
Avoid Lateral Forces: Minimize abnormal forces by ensuring the load acts along the centerline of the hook body.
Regular Maintenance: Perform lubrication and maintenance according to the frequency of use to ensure the long-term reliable operation of the rotating mechanism. When used in corrosive environments (such as offshore or chemical plants), select products made of stainless steel or with enhanced corrosion protection.
