Swivel
Professional HDD Swivel
The Colli Equipment HDD swivel is an anti-torsion rotating joint designed for pipe installation during Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) operations.
During pullback, it transfers the pulling force from the drilling rig to the pipeline while eliminating the rotation transmitted by the drill rods. This reduces torsion and mechanical stress on the pipe, helping make one of the most critical phases of the job safer, smoother and more controlled.
Mini Rig
For small and medium drilling rigs, available from 10 to 80 TON with Clevis-Clevis, Clevis-Pin and Clevis-Box connections.
AVAILABLE MODELS
Heavy Duty Pullback
For demanding HDD pullback operations, available from 100 to 350 TON with Clevis-Pin and Clevis-Box connections.

Applications
HDD Swivel for Pipe Pulling
This directional drilling swivel is designed for HDD contractors, trenchless operators and companies involved in the installation of steel or polyethylene pipelines.
It is suitable for HDD pullback operations, pipe pulling and, in some cases, borehole reaming on smaller-scale projects. Its purpose is to manage pulling force, reduce torsion and support the controlled installation of the pipe into the borehole.
Advantages
Built for Pullback Loads
Every Colli Group swivel is engineered to deliver strength, control and reliability in demanding HDD applications.

Bidirectional capability
Designed to withstand axial tensile loads during pullback and axial compression loads when pushing.

SKF Explorer
SKF Explorer thrust bearings for extreme loads (radial and axial), longer life and reduced maintenance.

Protected internal lubrication
The quick-greasing system reduces friction and wear, helping protect bearings from contamination.

Clevis End Connections
Dedicated end connections help reduce misalignment and radial loads during pullback.
Safety Locking Pin
Anti-release and anti-rotation locking system for secure assembly pin retention.
Product traceability
Stamped serial numbers allow materials, machining processes and treatments to be traced.
Experience
Guarantee of strength and durability
Our field experience allows us to develop robust, reliable components suited to real working conditions. From bearing selection and stress analysis to dynamic testing and traceability, every stage is focused on ensuring consistent performance in Horizontal Directional Drilling operations.
Swivel Dynamic Testing Machinery
A unique machine designed and built to perform dynamic tensile testing on every swivel we manufacture, from 50 to 500 TON. It is equipped with a data acquisition unit to monitor the applied pulling force and rotation speed.
