Codipro Eye Bolts
Codipro eye bolts are not standard shoulder bolts with a fixed eye. They are swivel-type lifting points, forged alloy steel, threaded into the load, and designed to rotate 360° and pivot 180° under load so the rigging can pull from any angle without binding the attachment point. That design matters when you are setting precision machinery, positioning a wind turbine nacelle, or rigging in a confined bay where the sling angle is dictated by the geometry, not the ideal.
About Codipro Eye Bolts
Codipro SA is a Belgian manufacturer specializing in swivel lifting hardware. Their eye bolt line is forged alloy steel, proof-tested at manufacture, and certified to EN 1677-1, the European standard for forged components used in load-handling service. DGUV certification (German technical inspection authority) adds an independent verification layer that is recognized across European industrial and offshore sectors.
The functional difference between a Codipro swivel eye bolt and a conventional fixed eye bolt comes down to load path behavior. A fixed eye bolt requires the sling to pull in-line with the shank, off-axis loading degrades the rated capacity and can deform the eye. A Codipro swivel eye bolt rotates and pivots so the eye aligns with whatever angle the sling presents. Applications where loads are tilted, balanced from multiple lift points, or rigged in tight spaces are where the swivel design earns its place.
Every Codipro eye bolt ships with a proof test certificate. WLL and manufacturer markings are on every piece per ASME B30.26 and EN 1677-1 requirements.
Holloway Houston is the North American distributor for Codipro. We stock eye bolts in Houston with same-day shipping on in-stock models.
Types of Codipro Eye Bolts
Swivel Eye Bolts with Metric Thread
The standard Codipro swivel eye bolt threads into a tapped hole in the load. Metric thread is the dominant configuration for machinery, fabricated steel, and wind energy work, applications that use metric fastener specifications throughout. The swivel body rotates 360° and pivots to 180° under load, maintaining rated WLL across the working pivot range. Thread engagement depth per the manufacturer specification is the reference point for full-rated capacity.
Swivel Eye Bolts with UNC Thread
UNC (Unified National Coarse) thread configurations are available for loads with standard imperial thread patterns, common in North American manufacturing and maintenance environments. The swivel function is identical to the metric version: 360° rotation, 180° pivot, forged alloy body, proof-tested to EN 1677-1.
Eyebolt with Safety Latch
Some Codipro configurations include a safety latch on the eye to retain the hook or shackle connection during rigging. This feature is specified where the risk of accidental disengagement is a concern, precision lifts, controlled environments, and aerospace or defense work where the consequence of a dropped connection is severe.
Codipro Eye Bolt Sizes and Working Load Limits
Codipro swivel eye bolts are available across a WLL range suited for light to heavy precision lifting applications. Thread sizes span metric and UNC configurations.

Why Codipro for Eye Bolts
Codipro has been manufacturing swivel lifting hardware in Belgium for precision and heavy industrial markets. Their eye bolt line is the product of that focus, not a commodity bolt pattern adapted for lifting, but a designed lifting component where swivel geometry, forging tolerances, and proof-test documentation are engineered into the product from the start.
The DGUV certification and EN 1677-1 rating make Codipro eye bolts recognized in European offshore, wind energy, aerospace, and heavy machinery sectors. Holloway Houston brings that product line to North American buyers who need swivel lifting points for precision work or who are integrating European-sourced equipment into North American lifting operations.
Holloway Houston also offers rigging inspection services. Our qualified inspectors examine eye bolts, lifting points, and rigging hardware per ASME B30.26 and OSHA standards to keep your gear in service.

Codipro Eye Bolt Applications by Industry
- Wind Energy: Nacelle and tower section rigging where off-axis sling angles are common and attachment points are embedded in prefabricated assemblies.
- Aerospace and Defense: Precision component lifts where load orientation is fixed and the lifting point adapts to the rigging rather than the other way around.
- Heavy Machinery: Setting gearboxes, compressors, and motors where the lift point threads into the machine and the rigging angle follows the plant geometry.
- Offshore and Marine: Subsea and topside work where European-spec hardware integrates with existing lifting systems and load-handling procedures.
- Metal Fabrication: Shop lifting where swivel points are installed on fabricated assemblies before transport and final placement.

Eye Bolt Safety and Awareness
Swivel eye bolts in load-handling service fall under ASME B30.26 (Rigging Hardware), which covers design factors, marking requirements, and inspection. OSHA 1910.184 references rigging hardware in general industry; OSHA 1926.251 addresses rigging hardware on jobsites.
- Thread engagement depth is specified by the manufacturer. Codipro documentation defines the minimum engagement for full rated capacity. Partial engagement reduces the effective WLL.
- ASME B30.26 specifies inspection intervals for rigging hardware: frequent inspection before each use and periodic inspection based on service severity.
- Swivel eye bolts are designed for in-line and angular loading within their rated pivot range.
- WLL and manufacturer markings on the hardware are required under ASME B30.26 and EN 1677-1.
- Proof test certificates from Codipro are tied to individual pieces or production lots.
Frequently Asked Questions
A standard shoulder eye bolt is fixed, the eye does not move, and off-axis loading degrades capacity. A Codipro swivel eye bolt rotates 360° and pivots to 180° under load, maintaining its rated working load limit across the pivot range. This makes swivel eye bolts suited for multi-point lifts and applications where the sling angle cannot be set in-line.
Codipro swivel eye bolts are manufactured to EN 1677-1, the European standard for forged components in load-handling service, and are DGUV certified. For overhead lifting service in North America, ASME B30.26 (Rigging Hardware) governs design, marking, and inspection of rigging hardware including lifting points and eye bolts.
Codipro swivel eye bolts are available in both metric and UNC thread configurations. Metric is the standard for European machinery, wind energy, and offshore applications. UNC configurations cover North American equipment with imperial thread patterns. Holloway Houston can confirm thread availability for specific WLL requirements.
Every Codipro swivel eye bolt order from Holloway Houston ships with a proof test certificate from the manufacturer. The hardware carries WLL and manufacturer markings per EN 1677-1 and ASME B30.26. Holloway Houston can provide documentation packages for projects that require traceability records.
Codipro swivel eye bolts see frequent use in wind energy (nacelle and tower section rigging), aerospace, heavy machinery installation, offshore and marine work, and precision fabrication. The swivel design is specified where the attachment geometry is fixed and the rigging angle adapts to the geometry, rather than the other way around.
ASME B30.26 specifies frequent inspection of rigging hardware before or during each use, covering visible damage, deformation, and marking legibility. Periodic inspection at defined intervals is also required based on service severity. An eye bolt that has been shock-loaded, deformed, or has illegible WLL markings should be removed from service pending inspection by a qualified person.
