INSTRUCTIONS & CAUTIONS
Proper Mounting
When installing your swivel eye block, ensure it is securely mounted to the appropriate rod, bolt, or shackle. The block should rotate freely without any resistance, allowing smooth load handling. Make sure all fastenings are tight and well-fitted to avoid any unwanted movement or damage during use.
Check Snatch Pin Functionality
Before each use, always verify that the snatch pin is correctly placed and securely holds the sheave in place. If you plan to remove or replace the pin, do so carefully to avoid damage to the block or other rigging components. A loose or missing pin can lead to instability or failure under load.
Regular Lubrication Maintenance
The oil-impregnated bushings are designed for long-lasting self-lubrication, but periodic checks are necessary to ensure they remain effective. Over time, they may require additional maintenance or oil replenishment to prevent excessive wear and ensure smooth operation under heavy loads.
Weight Limit Awareness
Always adhere to the safe working load (SWL) limits marked on the sideplates of the swivel eye block. Exceeding the SWL can lead to block failure and potential safety hazards. Ensure your applications stay within the recommended load limits for reliable performance.

OUR REVIEWS
FAQ
How do I maintain a swivel eye block for long-term use?
-
Lubricate the Bushings: Regularly lubricate the oil-impregnated bushings to ensure smooth operation and reduce friction.
-
Inspect the Snatch Pin: Check the snatch pin to ensure it is secure and properly in place before each use.
-
Look for Wear & Corrosion: Periodically inspect the swivel eye, sheave, and other components for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
-
Keep the Block Clean: Regular cleaning helps maintain the block’s performance, reducing the risk of premature failure and ensuring reliable operation.
Can swivel eye blocks be used in high-speed applications?
Swivel eye blocks are designed primarily for medium-speed applications. For high-speed rigging or lifting operations, it’s important to select a block specifically rated for higher-speed use. Our blocks feature oil-impregnated bushings that provide self-lubrication, which helps reduce friction, but high-speed applications may require additional specifications to ensure smooth operation.
How long does it take to receive a swivel eye block order?
Delivery time depends on your order quantity and customization requirements. For standard orders, most shipments are processed and delivered within 5–7 business days. Custom orders may take slightly longer depending on the complexity of the specifications. We’ll always provide an estimated delivery timeline when you place your order, so you can plan accordingly.
Can I return or exchange a swivel eye block if it doesn’t meet my needs?
Yes, we offer a return and exchange policy for products that don’t meet your expectations, provided they are unused and in original condition. If there’s an issue with your order, contact our customer service team to discuss the return process. We want to ensure you’re fully satisfied with your purchase and will work with you to resolve any concerns.
