1 ½" Whitworth Box - Lifting Swivel

A lifting swivel is a heavy-duty component designed to facilitate the lifting and rotation of drill pipes, drill collars, and other equipment used in the drilling process. It is an integral part of the rigging system and provides a means to connect and rotate the drill string. This Lifting Swivel is sized as an 1 ½" Whitworth Box that will receive a 1 ½" Whitworth Pin.

The swivel is typically mounted between the drilling rig's hook and the top drive or kelly, allowing the drill string to rotate while it is being lifted or lowered into the wellbore. The swivel's design incorporates a rotating joint that allows the drill string to rotate freely without twisting or damaging the lifting cables or other rigging components.

Lifting swivels in the drilling industry are often engineered to withstand high loads, harsh drilling environments, and continuous rotation. They are typically constructed from heavy-duty materials such as alloy steel to ensure durability and reliability.
