Lifting Eye Bolt

A lifting eye bolt is a bolt with a loop at one end, often used with a nut to lift or secure a load.

A lifting eye bolt takes a nut and often a washer of the same thread and class. It screws into a tapped hole or through a drilled hole to take a sling or hook. A spanner or socket sets it.

This kind of eye bolt is often made in steel or stainless steel. Steel is usually chosen for general lifting and stainless steel for outdoor or wet areas.

This is a general guide to checking this kind of part. It says nothing about any supplier's parts.

Ask for a certificate of conformance for the material and dimensions. On receipt, check the thread, the eye shape, and that the nut fits the bolt.
