Big Rig
Swivels
SlimDril International supply a full range of big rig swivels engineered for high-load HDD operations. Manufactured in Europe and fitted with heavy-duty SKF bearings, these swivels deliver exceptional strength, reliability, and service life on large drilling rigs.
The stated load ratings represent the dynamic capacity of the bearing, not simply the strength of the surrounding steelwork—providing a true reflection of real-world performance under load.
