Gibraltar 12851 3 Fixed Lifting Eye Bolt 1400 Lb 3/8-16

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 12851 3 is a fixed lifting eye bolt with shoulder, designed for overhead lifting and rigging applications in industrial and construction environments. Built from grade C-1035 forged steel, it delivers a rated lifting capacity of 1,400 lb. The 3/8-16 thread runs the full 3-inch shank length, providing solid engagement with threaded mounting surfaces. The shoulder design seats flush against the work surface to control load alignment and prevent the eye from pulling through. Rigging crews, maintenance technicians, and millwrights use this type of hardware for attaching hoists, chains, and slings to machinery, structural steel, and load-bearing fixtures.

This eye bolt is suited for fixed straight-line lifting in industrial plants, fabrication shops, and construction sites. The shoulder base bears load against the mating surface, making it appropriate for applications where a secure, non-rotating anchor point is required. The fully threaded 3-inch shank allows installation into tapped holes or through clearance holes with a hex nut. The 1-inch inside diameter eye accommodates standard rigging hooks and shackles used in typical overhead lifting setups.

Key Features

• 1,400 lb rated lifting capacity for overhead rigging applications
• Grade C-1035 forged steel construction for strength and toughness
• Fully threaded 3-inch shank for maximum thread engagement
• 3/8-16 thread size for compatibility with standard tapped holes and fasteners
• Shoulder design seats against the mounting surface to control load alignment
• 1-inch inside eye diameter accepts standard hooks and shackles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fixed shoulder eye bolt for general overhead lifting and rigging use in industrial and construction applications where a 3/8-16 threaded anchor point is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified rigging personnel or maintenance technicians following applicable ASME B30.26 and OSHA rigging standards. Thread the bolt fully into a properly tapped or through-bolted hole, ensuring the shoulder seats flush and fully contacts the mounting surface before applying load. Never use a fixed eye bolt for angular loads unless rated for that application. Inspect threads, the eye, and the shoulder for deformation or wear before each use.
