Can rotation resistant rope be used with a swivel?

Rotation resistant rope can indeed be used with a swivel if it has received approval from the rope’s manufacturer. This is critical because rotation resistant ropes are designed specifically to minimize twisting and rotation during lifting operations. The manufacturer will provide guidelines based on the rope's design, material, and intended use, ensuring that the integration of a swivel does not compromise the rope's performance or safety.

Using a swivel can help with load positioning and management, but it is essential to ensure that the specific characteristics of the rotation resistant rope, along with the operational conditions, align with the manufacturer's recommendations. This adherence to manufacturer guidelines is crucial to maintain the integrity and safety of lifting operations, as they often account for various factors, including load dynamics, environmental conditions, and the potential impacts on the rope's lifespan and functionality.
