Do Not Use Eye Bolts?

Do not use a single eye bolt to lift a load that is free to rotate. Do not use eye bolts that have worn threads or other flaws. Do not insert the point of a hook in an eye bolt.

Which type of eye bolt must not be used for angular loading?

A shouldered eye bolt can be used for vertical in-line lifts or for angular lifts. Non-shouldered eye bolts should be used for in-line or vertical lifts only and should NEVER be used for angular lifts.

What eyebolt is never used for lifting?

Always use a shoulder eyebolt when performing angular lifts. Angular lifting using plain pattern eye bolts is not recommended. The marking on the eye bolts represent the thread size, not necessarily their rated capacities.
