ULTRA Swivels

A swivel is designed to connect the anchor and chain while allowing controlled movement between both components. By accommodating rotation and articulation, a swivel can help reduce torsional loads and support smoother anchor recovery.

During retrieval, an anchor may approach the bow from different angles or orientations. A correctly selected swivel can help the anchor rotate into a more favourable position, supporting cleaner seating at the bow roller and reducing the likelihood of misalignment.

A flip swivel incorporates a mechanism that helps rotate the anchor into an upright position during recovery. A classic swivel primarily provides controlled articulation and rotational movement, making it suitable for applications where flipping functionality is not required.

The swivel forms a critical connection point within the anchoring system and should be selected according to the chain diameter, anchor weight, and expected loads. Proper sizing helps ensure reliable load transfer and long-term operational safety.

A one-piece machined swivel is manufactured from solid material rather than cast components. This manufacturing method can provide greater dimensional accuracy, consistent material properties, and high mechanical strength for demanding marine applications.

A swivel with 360° articulation is designed to rotate freely around its axis while also accommodating movement between connected components. This flexibility helps minimise chain twist and supports smoother operation during anchor deployment and recovery.

Yes. One of the primary functions of a swivel is to reduce torsional forces within the anchoring system. By allowing controlled rotation between the anchor and chain, a swivel can help minimise chain twisting and improve overall system handling.
