Gibraltar 12868 1 Fixed Shoulder Eye Bolt 2000 Lb 7/16-14

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 12868 1 is a fixed lifting eye bolt with a shoulder, designed for rigging and lifting applications where a secure, load-rated attachment point is required. Built from C-1035 forged steel, this eye bolt carries a rated lifting capacity of 2,000 pounds and features a fully threaded 7/16-14 shank. The shoulder provides a positive bearing surface against the work piece, distributing load and preventing the eye from pulling through. At 0.26 pounds, it is compact and well-suited for frequent handling in the field. Installers in rigging, mechanical, and general industrial trades rely on this style of eye bolt for hoisting equipment and securing loads to structural anchor points.

This eye bolt is appropriate for use in light-to-medium rigging setups in residential and commercial construction, equipment installation, and general trade work. It is designed for vertical inline loading only, as is standard for fixed shoulder eye bolts. Applications include anchoring hoist lines, securing machinery during lift operations, and providing tie-off points where a threaded steel eye bolt is required by the work order or specification.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified rigger, millwright, or general contractor following applicable ASME B30 rigging standards. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before installing or removing the eye bolt. Thread the bolt fully into the anchor point so the shoulder seats flush against the surface before applying any load. Fixed eye bolts are rated for vertical inline loads only — do not apply angular loads to this style without a rated swivel eye bolt or appropriate lifting hardware.
