Gibraltar 12971 8 Fixed Shoulder Eye Bolt 7000 Lb

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 12971 8 is a fixed lifting eye bolt designed for heavy-duty rigging and lifting applications. Built from Grade C-1035 forged steel, it delivers a rated lifting capacity of 7,000 lb and features a shoulder design that provides load stability during straight vertical lifts. The 7/8-9 thread is fully threaded across a 3-inch shank length, offering solid engagement depth for secure fastening into structural anchor points. This bolt is sized for demanding industrial and construction environments where load integrity and material traceability are required. Installation is performed by qualified riggers or millwrights following applicable load-handling standards.

This eye bolt is suited for vertical lifting operations in industrial, manufacturing, warehouse, and construction settings. The shoulder design limits lateral loading but excels in plumb, in-line lift configurations. The 1-11/16-inch inside eye diameter accommodates standard lifting hooks and shackles commonly used in overhead rigging setups. Applications include machinery positioning, structural component lifting, and anchor point installation in fixed rigging systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified rigger or millwright familiar with applicable ASME B30 and OSHA rigging standards. Always de-energize and secure any equipment before installing or removing lifting hardware. Thread the bolt fully to shoulder contact and verify torque using appropriate fastener specifications for the mating material. Inspect the eye bolt and rigging hardware for defects before each lift and never exceed the rated load capacity.
