The LGRIG® Grade 80 Insulated Swivel Connector with 2 Half Links is a heavy-duty lifting and rigging component designed to provide controlled rotation and electrical isolation within Grade 80 chain sling assemblies. Featuring a robust insulated swivel body, integrated bearing mechanism and two half connector links, the swivel allows the connected lifting components to rotate under load while helping prevent electrical current from passing through the lifting chain and into the overhead crane, hoist or other lifting equipment.
Designed for professional lifting applications where electrical isolation is required, this insulated swivel is particularly suitable for overhead crane and electric hoist operations involving welding on suspended workpieces. The insulated construction creates an electrical break within the lifting configuration, helping protect lifting equipment and operators from welding current traveling through the chain or rigging system. The swivel design also allows the suspended load to rotate and align during lifting, helping reduce chain twisting and improving handling flexibility.
The two half links provide a convenient connection method for Grade 80 lifting chains and compatible rigging components, making the swivel suitable for integration into chain sling assemblies and other lifting configurations. The bearing-supported swivel mechanism enables smooth rotation under load, while the forged Grade 80 alloy steel construction provides the strength and durability required for demanding industrial lifting environments.
The LGRIG® Insulated Swivel Connector is suitable for applications in welding, fabrication, construction, steel processing, shipbuilding, maintenance, material handling and other industrial environments where suspended loads need to be lifted and positioned while electrical work is being performed. The product is designed for use with compatible Grade 80 lifting components and should always be operated within its specified Working Load Limit.
For applications requiring electrical insulation, the actual insulation voltage, Working Load Limit, proof-testing requirements and applicable certification should be confirmed according to the exact LGRIG® model and test documentation. The swivel should be inspected before each use for deformation, cracks, excessive wear, damaged connection components or other conditions that could affect safe operation.
