Made of strong ductile iron and galvanized to resist rust, these swing hangers feature an "oil lite" bronze bearing and axle bolt. Use on wooden swing frames. Plate is 5 1/4" x 2" with ½" holes that are 3 3/4" center to center. Holds up to 5000 lbs.
Installation:
Hangers should be spaced approximately 2 ft from the end of the set and approximately 2 ft apart for each swing. Bolt hanger to wood beam with ½" bolts with the length depending on thickness of wood. (Bolts not included.) Grease or oil bushings if squeaking noises are heard. You will need to use S-hooks or shackles from the chain to the swing hangers. Make sure the S-hooks are closed to within .04 to meet ASTM safety standards. To do this you will need to use our S-hook pliers or a regular pair of channel lock pliers. WARNING: Once the S-hooks have been opened they will have to be replaced to avoid injuries from coming open and/or breaking. Make sure that if you are using shackles they are also tightened.
