Gibraltar 08208 2 Fixed Lifting Eye Bolt 500 Lb 1/4-20

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 08208 2 is a fixed lifting eye bolt designed for rigging and load-securing applications where corrosion resistance is critical. Constructed from Grade 316 stainless steel with an electropolished finish, it carries a rated lifting capacity of 500 pounds. The 1/4-20 thread is partially threaded along a 1.5-inch thread length on a 3-inch shank. This bolt is installed by millwrights, riggers, marine maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople working in wet, chemical, or coastal environments where standard carbon steel hardware would corrode prematurely.

This eye bolt is suited for residential, commercial, and marine environments where Grade 316 stainless steel is specified for superior chloride resistance. Typical applications include overhead lifting points, suspended equipment, pool and waterpark fixtures, food-processing facilities, and marine deck hardware. The without-shoulder design is used where a flush base seating is acceptable and a full shoulder-collar style is not required by the rigging specification.

Key Features

• 500 lb rated lifting capacity for light to medium rigging loads
• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion and chloride resistance
• Electropolished finish reduces surface roughness and improves corrosion performance
• 1/4-20 partially threaded shank with 1.5-inch thread engagement length
• 3-inch shank length accommodates material thickness in typical mounting applications
• Without-shoulder design for direct thread-in installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard fixed eye bolt replacement or new installation component for 1/4-20 threaded fixtures in rigging, lifting, and tie-down applications requiring Grade 316 stainless steel hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified riggers or maintenance technicians following applicable ASME B30.26 rigging hardware standards. Ensure the mating threaded hole or nut is rated to match or exceed the eye bolt load capacity before use. The without-shoulder design requires full thread engagement for safe loading — do not use in applications where an angular or side load is anticipated without consulting the applicable rigging load chart. De-energize and lock out any associated equipment before installing or removing lifting hardware overhead.
