Shouldered Eye Bolt with Heavy Hex Nut – Lifting Grade, Forged, ASTM F541
Forged carbon/alloy steel eye bolts with matching heavy hex nuts. Shouldered design allows angular lifting up to 45°. Proof load tested to 2× WLL, magnetic particle inspected (MPI), and WLL stamped on every bolt. Ideal for overhead lifting, rigging, and marine tie‑downs.
Typical Features
-
Forged one‑piece construction (no weld or bent rod)
-
Shouldered collar for side‑load capability (0° – 45°)
-
High tensile strength (120,000 – 150,000 psi)
-
Corrosion resistant finishes (zinc, HDG, stainless)
-
Full traceability with WLL stamping
-
MPI crack‑free certified
Material
Hex head eye bolts are made from carbon steel (Grade 5 or Grade 8) , alloy steel (4140/4340) , or stainless steel 304/316. Nuts are supplied in matching grade (ASTM A563 Grade A/B or stainless).

Main Characteristics
Forged Strength
One‑piece hot forging eliminates welded or bent‑rod weak points. Provides ductile overload warning before fracture.
Angular Load Capability (Shouldered Type)
The integral shoulder transfers side loads into the mounting surface, allowing safe lifting at angles up to 45° from vertical.
Proof Load Tested
Each batch is verified to 2× working load limit (WLL). Permanent deformation indicates overload – visual safety check.
Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI)
All lifting‑grade eye bolts are MPI inspected to reveal surface or subsurface cracks that could cause sudden failure.
Clear WLL Marking
Size, grade, and WLL are stamped on the eye of every shouldered bolt – no guesswork in the field.
Corrosion Resistance
Zinc plating (96 hr salt spray), hot dip galvanizing (1,000+ hr), or stainless 316 (passivated, marine grade).
Matching Heavy Hex Nut
Nut hardness is slightly lower than bolt to promote bolt failure first (desired mode). Wide wrench flats prevent rounding.
Vibration Resistance
Use two nuts (jam + heavy hex) locked together to prevent loosening under dynamic loads.
Application
Eye Bolts & Nuts are widely used for overhead lifting, rigging, mooring, and tie‑down applications where certified strength and angle loading are required.
-
Overhead lifting of machinery, dies, and motors
-
Marine mooring cleats and boat lift eyes
-
Construction: concrete insert lifting, structural steel sling points
-
Vehicle recovery and trailer tie‑down rings
-
Scaffolding fall‑arrest anchor points
-
Industrial maintenance: pump/motor lifting eyes
-
Offshore and shipboard cargo securing
