A swivel eye bolt offers many advantages over a standard, fixed eye bolt. They are able to swivel and rotate, often through a complete 360 degrees. The lifting eye is attached to the screw thread with bearings which allows them to swivel freely. When an appropriate hook is attached to the swivel eye and the load's forces are applied the link will swivel and tilt into the direction of the pulling action.
Standard eye bolts are normally only able to be used for inline lifting operations. So therefore the swivel variety has much more scope for a variety of different lifting tasks. Specifically angled lifting.
Some types of these swivelling eye bolts incorporate a locking latch. This enables the eye to be locked into place and remain stationary.
Although swivel eye bolts are usually more costly than the standard variety there uses can quickly outweigh the cost.

Unlike a fixed eye bolt the swivel variety enables the eye to rotate fully without unscrewing, and the anchor ring can pivot.
