Plastimo Chain Swivel Link

PLASTIMO Chain Swivel Link for Secure Anchoring and Mooring

Ensure the ultimate safety and reliability of your vessel´s ground tackle with the PLASTIMO Chain Swivel Link, an essential component for any serious mariner´s anchoring and mooring system. Tangled and twisted anchor chains are more than just an annoyance; they introduce significant stress on your entire setup, leading to premature wear and a potential reduction in holding power. This robustly engineered swivel link is the definitive solution, designed to rotate freely and prevent the kinking and twisting that occurs from wind, tide, and current changes. By allowing your boat to swing naturally at anchor or on a mooring, it maintains a straight and effective chain rode, ensuring your anchor sets and holds correctly in all conditions.

The primary benefit of integrating the PLASTIMO Chain Swivel Link is the dramatic increase in the security and longevity of your equipment. By eliminating torsional forces, it significantly reduces the structural stress on individual chain links, shackles, and your windlass. This preventative action not only protects your investment in your anchoring gear but also provides invaluable peace of mind when you are away from your vessel or riding out rough weather. Its smooth, reliable rotation ensures that the load is always distributed evenly, preventing potential failure points and enhancing the overall integrity of your connection to the seabed.

Main Features:

This heavy-duty swivel link is meticulously designed for the harsh marine environment. It features a superior dual-axis rotation mechanism that provides complete 360-degree freedom of movement, effectively absorbing all rotational forces exerted on the chain. The design incorporates two large, smooth-surfaced Links that are perfectly shaped to connect seamlessly with your anchor chain and shackle, ensuring a snag-free passage over your bow roller. Its solid, one-piece construction is built to withstand immense loads and the corrosive effects of saltwater, making it a dependable choice for both seasonal boaters and blue-water cruisers.

For optimal performance and safety, especially in permanent mooring setups, please adhere to the following professional guidelines: This swivel is crafted from high-resistance Galvanised Steel for superior corrosion protection and durability. For mooring buoy applications, two swivels are necessary per mooring buoy to ensure maximum freedom of movement and load distribution. It is critical to follow the sizing requirement: The swivel diameter must be 4 mm superior to the chain diameter to guarantee a proper fit, optimal function, and safe load-bearing capacity.
