Stainless Steel Lag Eye Bolts
Stainless steel lag eye bolts are a dependable fastening and rigging solution for creating secure anchor points in wood applications. Commonly used with wire rope, rope, chain, and light lifting setups, shoulder lag eye bolts are designed for situations where a traditional eye bolt is not practical because the material thickness does not allow for a through-bolt installation.
Built with a lag thread for direct installation into wood, these eye bolts are a popular choice for marine, outdoor, construction, and general-purpose projects that require strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term performance.
Common Uses for Lag Eye Bolts
Lag eye bolts are typically installed into wood framing, beams, posts, and other solid wood materials to provide a strong attachment point. The shoulder design helps support angular loading better than non-shouldered styles by reducing the risk of shank bending during use.
These stainless steel lag eye bolts are commonly used for:
- Wire rope anchor points
- Rope and cable tie-off points
- Marine and dock hardware applications
- Outdoor lifting and rigging setups
- Wood beam and post attachment points
- General anchoring in corrosive environments
When using shoulder lag eye bolts for angular lifting or loading, keep in mind that the working load limit decreases significantly as the angle changes. For safer performance, never load at an angle less than 45 degrees from the bolt centerline.
Why Choose Type 316 Stainless Steel Lag Eye Bolts?
These lag eye bolts are made from Type 316 stainless steel, often referred to as marine-grade stainless steel. Type 316 contains molybdenum, which improves resistance to corrosion in wet, humid, and high-chloride environments. This makes it an excellent choice for applications exposed to salt air, ocean spray, rain, and other harsh conditions.
Compared to standard stainless steel, 316 stainless steel lag eye bolts offer enhanced durability where corrosion protection matters most. They are ideal for both indoor and outdoor use when long-lasting performance is a priority.
