Eye Bolts: Secure Anchoring for Demanding Jobs

Eye bolts are critical for lifting, rigging, anchoring, and securing applications across construction, manufacturing, marine, and industrial settings. At Fasteners Plus, we offer a complete selection of stainless steel and galvanized eye bolts, engineered to hold strong, resist corrosion, and perform under pressure.

Whether you’re suspending cable runs in a warehouse, lifting with a crane, or installing anchor points in treated wood, we’ve got the right eye bolt to make your job safer and easier.

Why Choose Stainless or Galvanized Eye Bolts?

We specialize in only two materials for a reason, both deliver reliability, but each serves a different purpose:

  • Stainless Steel Eye Bolts – Ideal for marine environments, food-grade facilities, or high-moisture applications. They resist rust even in saltwater or corrosive conditions.
  • Hot-Dip Galvanized Eye Bolts – A rugged, cost-effective solution for general outdoor or heavy-duty use. Galvanized coating protects the underlying steel from weathering and wear.

No painted or plated options here, just proven materials that professionals trust.

Find the Right Style for Your Job

We carry a wide range of eye bolt styles to cover nearly every application:

  • Shoulder Eye Bolts – Designed for angular loads or side pulls.
  • Plain Pattern Eye Bolts – For vertical or straight-line loads only.
  • Lag Eye Bolts – Great for wood or composite materials without pre-drilled holes.
  • Machinery Eye Bolts – Ideal for lifting heavy equipment or engines.
  • U.S. Made Eye Bolts – For those who require domestic sourcing or DOT compliance.

Bulk order pricing and custom options available. Reach out for volume quotes or technical questions, our experts are ready to help.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are eye bolts used for?

Eye bolts are fasteners with a looped head, commonly used to attach cables, ropes, chains, or slings for lifting, anchoring, or suspending objects.

What's the difference between shoulder and non-shoulder eye bolts?

Shoulder eye bolts are designed to handle angular loads, while non-shoulder (or plain pattern) eye bolts are meant for straight, vertical loads only.

Can I use eye bolts for overhead lifting?

Only certain types of eye bolts, such as forged or machinery eye bolts with rated load capacities, are suitable for overhead lifting. Always check the specifications and follow guidelines.

Do I need stainless or galvanized eye bolts?

Use stainless steel for high-corrosion areas like marine environments or chemical plants. Choose galvanized for general outdoor or industrial use where cost and rust resistance are key.

What sizes of eye bolts are available?

We stock a wide variety of diameters and thread lengths. Options range from small 1/4" lag eye bolts to large forged options rated for thousands of pounds. Use the filters to narrow by size or application.

Can I buy in bulk?

Yes. We offer custom quotes and tiered pricing for large orders. Contact us directly for volume pricing.
