Gibraltar 12874 2 Fixed Shoulder Eye Bolt 2000 Lb 7/16-14

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 12874 2 is a fixed lifting eye bolt with shoulder, designed for overhead lifting and load-securing applications in industrial and construction environments. Built from C-1035 grade forged steel, it carries a rated lifting capacity of 2,000 pounds. The bolt features a fully threaded 4-inch shank with a 7/16-14 thread size, providing deep thread engagement for secure anchoring in structural members or equipment frames. The integral shoulder seats flush against the mounting surface to distribute load and prevent the eye from pulling through. Licensed riggers, millwrights, and maintenance mechanics are the primary installers of hardware in this class.

This eye bolt is suited for fixed, in-line vertical lifting where the load is applied directly along the bolt axis. It is appropriate for use in rigging setups, machinery positioning, overhead hoist points, and tie-down anchor applications. The shoulder design is required when mounting through a plate or structural component, as it provides a positive bearing surface. The 4-inch fully threaded shank accommodates varying material thicknesses within that range. It is sold individually and is intended for use in inch-measurement fastening systems.

Key Features

• 2,000 lb rated lifting capacity for vertical in-line load applications
• C-1035 forged steel construction for high strength and impact resistance
• With-shoulder design provides positive bearing surface against mounting substrate
• Fully threaded 4-inch shank with 7/16-14 thread for maximum engagement flexibility
• Eye inside diameter of 1-3/32 inches accommodates standard hook and shackle hardware
• Fixed eye orientation — load must be applied along the bolt axis only

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 7/16-14 UNC threaded holes or with a matching nut on through-bolt installations requiring a shouldered eye bolt anchor point.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified rigger or maintenance mechanic familiar with applicable ASME B30 rigging standards. Before use, verify the mounting substrate can support the full rated load with appropriate safety factor. The shoulder must be fully seated and flush against the mounting surface before any load is applied. Never side-load a fixed eye bolt — angular loading requires a swivel-pattern or swing-type eye bolt rated for that service.
