Stainless Steel Forged Shoulder Eye Bolts
Stainless steel forged shoulder eye bolts are built for demanding lifting, rigging, and securement applications where strength and corrosion resistance both matter. Designed with a reinforced shoulder for angular loading, these eye bolts are a dependable choice for marine environments, outdoor use, and other jobs where exposure to moisture and the elements is a concern. On this collection page, the available options are all Type 316 stainless steel forged shoulder eye bolts, with thread sizes ranging from 1/4"-20 up to 1"-8 and multiple shank lengths available by size.
Why Choose Forged Shoulder Eye Bolts?
Forged shoulder eye bolts are a popular choice when your application may involve loading at an angle. The shoulder helps provide additional support compared to plain pattern eye bolts, making them better suited for a wider range of lifting and rigging setups when used properly. Their forged construction also delivers the strength and durability needed for heavy-duty service.
For jobs that require a reliable lifting point in challenging environments, stainless steel forged shoulder eye bolts offer the added benefit of excellent corrosion resistance without sacrificing performance.
316 Stainless Steel for Corrosion Resistance
These forged shoulder eye bolts are offered in 316 stainless steel, making them an excellent choice for marine, coastal, washdown, and other corrosive environments. Type 316 stainless steel contains molybdenum, which improves resistance to chlorides and saltwater exposure. That makes it a strong option for applications where standard steel hardware may rust or break down over time.
If your project involves outdoor rigging, dock hardware, boat applications, or exposure to humidity and chemicals, 316 stainless forged shoulder eye bolts can help provide longer service life and lower maintenance.
