Eye Bolts
Eyebolts serve as practical lifting points for many material handling tasks across industrial, commercial, and construction settings. These components are widely used to assist in vertical or angled lifts when attached to machinery, equipment, or heavy materials. Whether you're handling fabrication setups, load transfers, or transportation prep, eyebolts provide an anchor for slings, ropes, hooks, or chains.
The eyebolt category includes a wide selection of styles, sizes, and capacities. Common types featured here include machinery eye bolts and nut eye bolts, each with specific traits suited to different uses. Machinery eye bolts come with shoulder designs that help manage side loads during angular lifting. Nut eye bolts, on the other hand, are typically used with a nut and washer to reinforce threaded connections, especially when mounting through plates or non-threaded materials.
This collection brings together a broad mix from trusted names in lifting hardware. Brands such as Crosbyand Codipro are known for consistency across a wide range of lifting setups. From smaller WLL applications to heavy-duty lifting, these products are used in workshops, equipment yards, shipyards, and structural projects where dependable anchor points are needed.
Eyebolts are available with different thread types, both in metric and imperial sizing. Thread size and length are important when matching an eyebolt to your lift, especially when considering base material thickness or the need for engagement depth. Some applications may need longer threads to reach through multiple layers or mounting plates, while others require short threaded sections for quick removal or adjustment.
Weight capacity is a key factor when selecting an eyebolt. The working load limit (WLL) varies widely across the listings, ranging from under 1,000 lbs up to more than 65,000 lbs. Both pounds and tons are used for rating, depending on the manufacturer. For reference, some eyebolts in this category are listed with 4:1 or 5:1 design ratios, and users can filter based on the safety factor that aligns with their lifting plan.
Frequent WLL categories include 1,200 lbs, 2,600 lbs, 5,200 lbs, 10,600 lbs, and 24,000 lbs. Heavier listings climb to 34,000 lbs, 42,000 lbs, and even 65,000 lbs for large equipment or structural elements. In tons, options span from 0.4 to over 15 tons, giving users plenty of choices across small- and large-scale lifting requirements.
Machinery eye bolts are among the most widely used in this range. They are typically shoulder-pattern designs, making them more suitable when the lifting angle isn't strictly vertical. The shoulder helps support side loads, minimizing pull distortion. These are commonly installed directly into tapped holes in machinery or equipment components, where they stay in place until removed.
Nut eye bolts work well in through-hole installations where a washer and nut are used to fasten the eyebolt tightly from the opposite side. These are often used in setups that involve plates,frames, or other flat surfaces where threading is not available. The use of a washer also helps spread the load over a wider area, reducing the chance of pull-through or material damage.
When choosing between machinery and nut eye bolts, it's helpful to consider the lifting direction, base material, and how frequently the lifting point will be reused. Some environments call for permanent installation, while others may require quick setup and removal depending on workflow or job rotation.
Crosby eyebolts are a key part of this selection. With over 50 product listings, the Crosby brand includes both shoulder and non-shoulder styles. The brand is often used in industrial operations, heavy machinery lifting, and field-based work. Their components are commonly color-coded and marked with load ratings, thread size, and identification for traceability.
Codipro eyebolts are also included in this catalog, with more than 30 items available. Known for their multi-directional designs, many Codipro models are adapted for lifts where the angle of pull may shift. This is useful in dynamic environments, such as machining, die handling, and tooling setups. Codipro eyebolts often feature pivoting or rotating rings, which give them added mobility under load without relying on repositioning the load itself.
Most products come with material and finish information provided on the product page. Common finishes include plain, galvanized, or painted coatings that help delay surface wear. Some eyebolts are available in stainless steel, which can help with exposure to moisture or chemicals in certain plant environments. Surface finish may also impact how easily the hardware moves when adjusted or removed.
Thread engagement is another important detail. Users should check both the depth and diameter to match the eyebolt to their application. For safety and function, enough thread contact is needed in the base material to support the lift. In through-bolt applications, the total length of the shank should account for any washers, gaskets, or mounting plates used.
While most eyebolt installations are done by hand tools, some may require torque specifications. The product page for each item typically outlines any installation notes, including recommended use based on vertical, angled, or side pulls. Orientation, thread lubrication, and inspection intervals may also be important to some users.
These eyebolts are often used as anchor points for wire rope slings, web slings, or chain slings. Depending on the type of sling used and the angle of lift, users may need to account for tension multiplication, sling length, and distance between lifting points. Proper selection and alignment help prevent shifting or overload.
Though eyebolts are frequently used for lifting, they are sometimes used for load restraint or positioning. Applications such as tie-down points, rigging for shipment, or staging large parts before assembly may all use eyebolts as part of the setup. Their threaded design allows easy integration with fixtures, frames, and platforms.
If you're working on a project that calls for lifting hardware compatible with eyebolts, Holloway Houston also provides related items such as hoist rings, lifting eyes, and shackles. Depending on the lift plan, a combination of these components may be used. For instance, a shackle may be used to connect a sling to the eye, while lifting eyes or hoist rings may be considered when movement during the lift is a concern.
Each eyebolt listed includes technical specifications, load ratings, and part identifiers to help narrow your selection. Whether you're handling one-off lifts or assembling repeat-use fixtures, the selection offers flexibility to suit a wide range of working conditions. To refine your search, filters by brand, capacity, thread type, and safety factor are available.
For users who are uncertain which type of eyebolt fits their setup best, reviewing the job requirements including lift angle, surface type, load weight, and installation method can help point toward the right product. Comparing product details side by side can also make it easier to match the hardware to your existing gear or rigging plan.
As projects vary from site to site, having access to different lifting point styles can support smoother operation and better equipment integration. Holloway Houston’s eyebolt category is arranged to help identify suitable products without having to navigate excess information. Whether you're managing a planned lift or adapting to a new rigging challenge, this selection provides the necessary tools to get started.
