Skylotec WIB Swivel
Skylotec WIB Swivel
The Skylotec WIB is an aluminium alloy swivel joint that prevents the rope curling when a load is applied. It runs on axial ball bearings for smooth, low friction rotation and high load capacity, so lines and loads can turn freely without transferring twist. It has a 40kN load capacity.
The ball bearing design ensures optimum rotation and reliable performance in demanding, intensive rope access use. Compare it with the Twister climbing swivel, the Twirl rigging swivel and the triple lock swivel karabiner, or browse the rope access range.

What does a rope swivel do?
It sits in the system so the rope or load can rotate freely without passing twist up the line, which prevents the rope curling under load.
How strong is the WIB?
It has a 40kN load capacity and runs on axial ball bearings, in an aluminium alloy body with a 30 year maximum service life.
How is it different from a swivel karabiner?
The WIB is a swivel joint with fixed eyes for building into a system, while a swivel karabiner adds a gate so it can be clipped and unclipped.
