Swivel Arms
The swivel arm consist simply of a column and an arm that pivots around the column. Wall or column mounted swivel arms are an elegant, cost effective and reliable material handling solution without a requirement to add additional columns or footings during install. They are an ideal solution for handling light or heavy materials in a defined space, allowing operators to handle a wide variety of materials within a defined circular or semi-circular processing area, depending on how the swivel arm is mounted. These tools are used in different capacities and are generally used in the following cases.
Swivel arms are made in 2 different styles: • The predominant "straight" jib
• The less common "articulated boom", which is heavier and more expensive

Application of Swivel Arms
These equipment are widely used in transportation operations in various industries. Some of the applications of this equipment are presented in the schematic images below. Obviously, the items shown are only a part of the applications and capabilities of this equipment, and if needed, they can be designed and equipped for more specific applications.
Advantages of Swivel Arms
The design of the swivel arms allows for easy handling and freedom of movement. These devices can easily move large and heavy objects quickly and are one of the common auxiliary devices in some industries. Sometimes manual handling operations cannot be performed by the worker because the goods are too large/heavy to lift or move, so swing arms are required. They eliminate potential workplace injuries and are great for a wide range of applications. The height of the rotating arms and access can be determined according to the task.
In summary, the advantages of these tools can be explained as follows:

1- Versatile A swivel arm is an overhead lifting device that comes in a variety of forms. It is incredibly versatile and is perfect for various lifting tasks and repetitive movements. 2- Optimize production They facilitate repetitive lifting tasks and help operators run production more efficiently. Tasks flow smoothly so there are no interruptions in production. For more efficiency, the swivel arm can also be combined with overhead bridge systems. 3- Save energy Thanks to a swivel arm, it is also energy-saving. It uses energy-saving hoists to ensure production runs at its best. It also requires little maintenance, freeing up costs for the company to invest in other efficient equipment. 4- Improve security The good news is that they are designed to protect everyone. The risk of falling is low and the space required is small. They also reduce injuries caused by employees lifting heavy loads. 5- Continually |
