Machine eye bolts, commonly known as lifting eye bolts, serve as attachment points in lifting applications. For angled lifts, shoulder machinery eyebolts are recommended due to their enhanced strength provided by the shoulder. To reduce stress on the bolt, it is advisable to connect slings or hooks using shackles rather than attaching them directly to the eye bolt.

Please Note: Loading at an angle will significantly reduce a bolt's rated capacity; a 45 degree angle reduces it to just 1/4 of the stated rating. Never load at an angle greater than 45 degrees from the bolt center line.

⚠️Warning: Eye Bolts

Never exceed the maximum working load limit / load capacity. Doing so can result in product failure leading to injury or death.

When loading at angles, rated capacity is drastically reduced (for example, at 45 degrees, it's reduced to 1/4 of the original value).

The angle from the bolt centerline should never be greater than 45 degrees.

Always apply loads in the plane of the eye.

Ensure proper seating for shoulder lifting eyes before use, otherwise the working load limit will be reduced. If it does not bear firmly against the mating part, a steel washer or spacer may be required.
