Gibraltar 12808 7 Fixed Shoulder Eye Bolt 500 Lb

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 12808 7 is a fixed lifting eye bolt with shoulder, designed for overhead lifting and rigging applications in industrial and commercial settings. Rated at 500 lb lifting capacity, it features a 1/4-20 thread size with a 2-inch fully threaded shank. The eye bolt is forged from C-1035 steel, providing the structural integrity required for load-bearing use. A shoulder base provides a positive bearing surface against the mounting material, which is the correct configuration for angled or direct-pull lifting. Licensed riggers, millwrights, and maintenance mechanics are the typical installers.

This eye bolt is suited for use in rigging, material handling, and equipment tie-down applications where a fixed, shouldered lift point is required. The shoulder design makes it appropriate for loads applied at or near vertical angles. Typical installations include machinery, structural steel, and equipment frames where a threaded lift point is needed. The 1/4-20 thread size fits standard tapped holes in light to medium-duty assemblies.

Key Features

• 500 lb rated lifting capacity for light-duty overhead lifting applications
• Shoulder design provides a positive bearing surface for proper load transfer
• Fully threaded 2-inch shank on 1/4-20 thread for secure engagement
• Forged C-1035 steel construction for load-bearing structural integrity
• 3/4-inch eye inside diameter accommodates standard hooks and shackles
• Fixed eye orientation — select load angle accordingly

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-install fixed shoulder eye bolt for equipment, machinery, and structural assemblies using a 1/4-20 tapped hole with a minimum thread engagement appropriate for the rated load.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified rigger or maintenance mechanic familiar with applicable ASME B30.26 rigging hardware standards. Thread the eye bolt fully until the shoulder seats flush and tight against the mounting surface before applying any load. Fixed eye bolts are rated for straight vertical pulls only — side loading or angular loading on a fixed eye bolt significantly reduces capacity and creates a hazard. Never use a fixed eye bolt as a swivel or apply shock loads beyond the rated capacity.
