Eye bolts feature a looped head designed to anchor cables, ropes, or chains to a structure. They are commonly used in lifting and rigging applications, overhead installations, and securing loads, especially in construction, marine, and industrial settings. Depending on the design, they can be installed into wood, metal, or concrete and are available in plain or shoulder types for different load directions.
**Design and Lifting Applications**. The looped head of eye bolts is used to anchor cables, ropes, or chains to a structure. They are commonly used in lifting and rigging applications, overhead installations, and securing loads. With shoulder designs, use for lifting at angles up to 45 degrees or for vertical lifting. Without shoulder designs, use for vertical lifting only. Because angular lifting significantly reduces the eyebolt's capacity, we recommend hoist rings for heavy loads.
**Safety**. Properly sized and installed eye bolts provide reliable performance under load. K2 supplies eye bolts engineered to withstand the stresses of rigging and lifting operations. Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people. Capacities listed are for vertical lifting onl
