Thrust Bearings for Chain Hoist Hook Swivels
Hoists are common material handling equipment used in a wide range of industries including construction, manufacturing, automotive, and others. Hoists are designed to lift or lower material. Demand for hoists has accelerated as manufacturers automate their process in order to increase production output. Our thrust bearings for chain hoist hook swivels differ from the industry standard in that they are produced as a unitized assembly. The stamped components are manufactured and assembled here at Lutco, for a better cost-savings to you. Our thrust bearings are highly durable and long-lasting, making them ideal for chain hoist hook swivels in even the most heavy-duty applications.
