Gibraltar 12871 1 Fixed Lifting Eye Bolt 2000 Lb 7/16-14

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 12871 1 is a fixed lifting eye bolt with shoulder, rated for 2,000 lb lifting capacity and built from Grade C-1035 forged steel. The shoulder design provides a bearing surface that distributes load forces, making it suitable for rigging, material handling, and overhead lifting applications. The bolt features a fully threaded 3-inch shank with a 7/16-14 thread size, allowing secure engagement across a range of structural and mechanical assemblies. Riggers, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install this hardware where a reliable, fixed-axis lift point is required.

This eye bolt is used in industrial, commercial, and heavy-duty maintenance environments where a fixed lifting point must be anchored into a tapped hole or structural member. The shoulder design is intended for in-line, vertical lifting loads. It is not rated for angular or side-pull loading unless the applicable load rating has been de-rated per ASME B30.26 guidelines. Typical installations include machinery positioning, load securing, and overhead rigging setups in manufacturing, construction, and maintenance facilities.

Key Features

• 2,000 lb lifting capacity for demanding rigging and material handling tasks
• Grade C-1035 forged steel construction for high strength and durability
• Shoulder design provides a load-bearing base to distribute clamping force
• Fully threaded 3-inch shank with 7/16-14 thread for deep, secure engagement
• Eye inside diameter of 1-3/32 inches accommodates standard rigging hardware
• Fixed eye orientation for consistent, repeatable lift point alignment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade for fixed shoulder lifting eye bolts with 7/16-14 thread in standard inch-measurement rigging and structural applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified rigger or maintenance technician familiar with ASME B30.26 overhead lifting hardware requirements. Ensure the receiving tapped hole is clean, properly sized for 7/16-14 thread, and that the shoulder seats fully and flush against the mounting surface before applying any load. De-energize and lock out all adjacent equipment before installation in powered or moving machinery. Never exceed the rated 2,000 lb lifting capacity, and inspect the eye bolt for cracks, deformation, or thread damage before each use.
