Gibraltar 12891 9 Fixed Shoulder Eye Bolt 2600 Lb 1/2-13

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 12891 9 is a fixed lifting eye bolt with shoulder, designed for vertical and inline lifting applications in industrial and construction environments. Manufactured from C-1035 forged steel, it provides a rated lifting capacity of 2,600 pounds. The 1/2-13 thread size and 3-inch fully threaded shank allow secure engagement with standard tapped holes or through-bolt setups. The shoulder base seats flush against the load surface to distribute bearing stress and resist pull-through. Riggers, millwrights, and maintenance tradespeople install this type of hardware for equipment lifting, hoisting, and rigging attachment points.

This eye bolt is suited for use in rigging, machinery installation, structural steel work, and general industrial maintenance. The fixed-eye design is appropriate for in-line vertical loads where the load direction aligns with the bolt axis. The shoulder configuration is required in many applications where the bolt passes through a clearance hole, providing a positive bearing surface. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard 1/2-13 threaded connections.

Key Features

• 2,600 lb rated lifting capacity for vertical in-line loads
• C-1035 forged steel construction for strength and durability
• 1/2-13 thread size, fully threaded 3-inch shank
• Shoulder base provides positive bearing surface and resists pull-through
• Eye inside diameter of 1-3/16 inches accommodates standard hooks and shackles
• Fixed eye orientation for straight vertical rigging

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-13 threaded fixed shoulder eye bolt suitable for use with compatible tapped holes, through-bolted assemblies, and rigging hardware accepting a 1/2-13 thread engagement.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified riggers, millwrights, or maintenance mechanics familiar with ASME B30.26 rigging hardware standards. Always thread the eye bolt fully until the shoulder seats flush and firm against the load surface before applying any load. Never side-load a fixed eye bolt — this configuration is rated for in-line vertical lifting only. Inspect threads and the eye for deformation or cracks before each use and remove from service if any damage is found.
