Product introduction
Eye Bolt
Galvanized eye bolts are designed to be used in drilled and tapped holes. Galvanized eye bolts allow ropes and cables to be attached to a surface for lifting applications. Note: Galvanized eye bolts do not have a shoulder and are only intended for linear lifting applications.
Forged shoulder eye bolt
Shoulder eyebolts provide ample bearing surface, which eliminates the use of washers under the eye. They are used forhanging suspension hardware to the pole or cross arm. L&R' s primary shoulder eye is rare in the industry with a forgedshoulder surface. The one-piece shoulder eye is known for exceptional strength and durability. Shoulder eyebolts are alsoavailable in different diameter shoulders. Please inquire for customization requests.
Rigging & Lifting Eye Bolts Eye bolts come in a variety of sizes and materials - each type has many practical applications in a wide range of industries. The most common usage is to add an additional eye or anchor to your rigging setup. You can then secure wire rope, cable, hooks, and other hardware to this new attachment point.
Galvanized type has a thin coating of zinc oxide to protect the steel from elements that lead to corrosion and oxidation. Galvanized is also a great value as it tends to be less expensive but still maintains its strength and durability.
Galvanized forged eye bolts are one of the most popular, since they are significantly stronger. Forging means the metal is hammered or pressed into form. When the steel takes shape, its grain structure stretches and aligns, which creates a stronger piece of finished metal. Forged steel is harder, stronger, and more durable than machine parts or cast forms. This construction makes them ideal for critical applications.

Standard bolt hardware is extremely versatile, but when used for rigging, it's designed for vertical techniques only. For angular lifting and loading, a shouldered eye bolt should be used. The shoulder helps maintain the strength of the eye and prevents the shank from bending or deforming.
It's important to remember that loading at an angle will significantly reduce a bolt's rated capacity. A 75 degree angle reduces the working load limit by 45%; a 60 degree angle reduces it by 65%; a 45 degree angle reduces it by 75%. Never load at an angle less than 45 degrees from the bolt center line.
Shoulder bolts are available in both galvanized and stainless steel.
