Gibraltar 11654 1 Fixed Lifting Eye Bolt 1400 Lb 3/8-16

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 11654 1 is a fixed lifting eye bolt designed for straight vertical load applications where a welded or shouldered base is not required. Built from C-1035 forged steel, this eye bolt carries a working load limit of 1,400 pounds and features a fully threaded 4-inch shank with a 3/8-16 thread form. The one-piece forged construction provides consistent grain structure through the eye, which is critical under dynamic or suspended load conditions. Licensed riggers, millwrights, and maintenance mechanics select this style for through-bolt lifting points on machinery, structural members, and equipment frames where a nut-and-washer attachment is sufficient.

This eye bolt is suited for light to medium rigging tasks in industrial, commercial, and facilities-maintenance settings. The 3/8-16 thread is a common inch-series size found on machine frames, motor housings, and mounting plates. The 4-inch fully threaded shank accommodates varying material thicknesses without repositioning. It is not rated for angular loading without a shoulder base; vertical in-line loading only applies to this shoulderless design. Proper load calculation and hardware inspection before each lift are standard practice.

Key Features

• 1,400 lb lifting capacity for straight vertical loads
• Fully threaded 4-inch shank accommodates variable material thickness
• 3/8-16 inch-series thread for broad fixture compatibility
• C-1035 forged steel construction for consistent structural integrity through the eye
• Without-shoulder design for through-bolt installations secured with a nut and washer
• 1-inch inside eye diameter provides clearance for standard hook and shackle hardware

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 3/8-16 tapped or through-hole mounting points where a fixed, shoulderless lifting eye bolt is required for vertical rigging applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified rigger or maintenance mechanic familiar with ASME B30.26 below-the-hook lifting device standards. De-energize and lock out any equipment before installing or removing the eye bolt. Thread the bolt fully so that the eye base seats flush against the load surface and secure with a hardened washer and nut torqued per standard fastener practice for 3/8-16 hardware. Never use a shoulderless eye bolt for angular or side-loaded rigging; angular loads require a shouldered eye bolt rated for that application.
