HDD Swivels
A swivel is essential for any pullback — it prevents pipe rotation and protects the product pipe from torsional damage. Blick stocks Brewis and Slingco swivels to suit every rig capacity.
Brewis Heavy Duty Swivels
The Brewis swivel range covers 10T to 550 US tonne. Each swivel uses an SKF Explorer or FAG X-Life spherical roller thrust bearing of declared capacity — unlike competitors who quote steelwork strength rather than bearing capacity.
- 10T to 30T in stock; larger sizes to order
- Box-to-clevis or clevis-to-clevis configurations
- Declared bearing capacity — not marketing figures
Slingco HDD Swivels
Slingco directional drilling swivels for HDD pullbacks. Designed to prevent pipe rotation and protect product pipe from torsional damage during installation.
- Designed specifically for HDD pullback applications
- Robust construction for demanding site conditions
