Eye Bolts

About

Eye Bolts for Lifting, Rigging, and Anchoring Eye bolts create a secure attachment point for lifting, rigging, anchoring, and equipment-handling applications. They feature a threaded shank and a looped eye that can connect with compatible hooks , shackles , slings , wire rope , and other rigging hardware . US Cargo Control offers forged, shoulder, machinery , black oxide , galvanized, and stainless steel options for a wide range of industrial and commercial uses. Whether you need a lifting eye bolt for an approved rigging application or an eye bolt anchor for a general attachment point, start by matching the bolt style, material, thread size, and working load limit to the job. Not every eye bolt is approved for lifting. Always review the individual product specifications and manufacturer instructions before use. Shop Eye Bolts by Type The correct eye bolt depends on the direction of pull, installation method, operating environment, and required capacity. Choosing the proper design is important because standard, shoulder, machinery, welded, and non-welded eye bolts are intended for different uses. Forged Eye Bolts Forged eye bolts are formed from steel under pressure to create a strong, durable piece of rigging hardware. They are commonly used in construction, manufacturing, material handling, and other demanding industrial applications. Our selection includes galvanized forged eye bolts and stainless steel forged eye bolts . Check each product to confirm whether it is rated for lifting and whether it is designed for in-line or angular loading. Shoulder Eye Bolts A shoulder eye bolt has a reinforced shoulder between the eye and the threaded shank. When properly seated against the load, this shoulder helps support forces created by an angular pull. Shoulder-style bolts may be used for certain angular lifting applications when permitted by the manufacturer. Angular loading reduces the available working load limit, sometimes substantially. Never use the in-line capacity
