The cromox® anchor swivel made of stainless steel is the connecting link between anchor and chain. The smooth-running, rotating ball head of the anchor swivel aligns the anchor perfectly. This prevents the anchor chain from twisting and possibly causing damage.
Manufactured in Germany from high-strength and corrosion-resistant stainless steel AISI 318LN Duplex, the original cromox® anchor twister CATO is a reliable and flexible component for anchoring. Its special design and swivel ball head connection ensure that the anchor aligns itself during lifting and adapts well to the anchor roll. With the innovative quick-change system, the anchor can be easily and simply separated from the anchor chain or changed.

Just like all our other products, our anchor twisters are characterized by their particularly high-quality workmanship, which guarantees exceptional strength and durability. Their versatility allows them to be used in a variety of maritime environments, from recreational boating to industrial applications. Our anchor swivels are suitable for both fresh and salt water, which extends their range of applications.
Specially developed for the requirements of shipping, anchor swivels from Ketten Wälder GmbH offer an optimal solution for connecting the anchor to the anchor chain. The special design and material take into account the dynamic and often demanding conditions at sea. This not only improves safety and efficiency when anchoring, but also extends the service life of the anchor system.
We are a member of the Associated Wire Rope Fabricators AWRF. With more than 400 companies in 25 countries around the world, AWRF is a leading organization for sling fabricators and special rigging components manufacturers.
All our products are tested in the in-house Lloyd's Register certified testing laboratory of Ketten Wälder GmbH. According to international standards, with up to 160 tons load capacity.
Our cromox® products are produced in Germany and are international leaders in the field of stainless steel products. We ensure consistently high quality and technical solutions to the highest standards.
The innovative quick-change system, which is integrated into the rotating ball head swivel, enables the anchor to be replaced or removed quickly. Thanks to its rotatability, the anchor swivel enables greater flexibility and efficiency at work.
How the system works: The bolt is loosened using an Allen key, the anchor is hooked in and the bolt is tightened again. This allows the anchor and anchor chain to be separated quickly and easily.
AISI 318LN Duplex is a type of stainless steel that is particularly corrosion-resistant and durable. This material is therefore ideal for applications in both fresh and salt water environments (regardless of the degree of contamination of the water), as well as in the chemical and petrochemical industries and in the offshore sector.
This type of stainless steel combines the best properties of austenitic and ferritic steel, which gives it the name "duplex". The high proportion of chromium, nickel and molybdenum increases its corrosion resistance. It also has a high resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, which often occur in maritime environments. Its high strength, which is about twice as strong as most common austenitic stainless steels, allows the use of thinner materials, which can also lead to weight and cost savings.
Anchor twisters or anchor swivels are special devices that are attached to the end of an anchor chain between the anchor and the chain. They allow the anchor to twist and turn without twisting the chain. This is particularly useful in situations where your boat is being turned by wind or currents or you are lifting the anchor. By using an anchor twister/anchor swivel, the anchor can swing freely and adjust to the changing orientation of the boat without twisting the chain. If the anchor swivel is bent, it adapts well to the anchor roller, which makes it even easier to weigh anchor.
Anchor swivels are mainly used in shipping to connect anchors to the anchor chain. They are used to absorb the rotation of the anchor and thus protect the chain from twisting.
Ketten Wälder GmbH's cromox® anchor swivels are manufactured in Germany. However, the company's own production facilities in Bad Endorf in Upper Bavaria are not only used for production on over 5,500 square meters, but also for careful testing in the company's own Lloyd's Register-certified test laboratory. Over 1,000 different product solutions for lifting and moving loads are shipped from the company's own factory to over 50 countries worldwide.
Anchor swivels made of stainless steel (inox) are resistant to corrosion and rust, making them ideal for use in maritime environments. They also have high strength and can withstand high loads, which extends their service life. They require less maintenance than anchor twisters made of other materials as they are easy to clean. They are also aesthetically pleasing: an aspect that is important to many boat owners.
The cromox® anchor swivel made of stainless steel (inox) is an indispensable detail for every boat owner, yacht owner and sailor who values safety and reliability. Made of high-quality stainless steel, the CATO anchor twister is durable and reliably ensures that the anchor always remains in the correct position when moving in and out.
