Gibraltar 12974 9 Fixed Lifting Eye Bolt 7000 Lb 7/8-9

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 12974 9 is a fixed lifting eye bolt with shoulder, designed for overhead lifting and rigging applications in industrial, construction, and mechanical service environments. Built from Grade C-1035 forged steel, this eye bolt carries a rated lifting capacity of 7,000 pounds and features a 7/8-9 thread. The shank is fully threaded at 4 inches, providing secure engagement across a range of fixture thicknesses. The shoulder design distributes load evenly against the mounting surface, which is critical for safe vertical lifts. Riggers, millwrights, and maintenance mechanics typically install this hardware as part of a certified lifting assembly.

This eye bolt is suited for use in industrial plants, fabrication shops, construction sites, and equipment maintenance operations where heavy components need to be raised, positioned, or suspended. The 7/8-9 thread size is a common coarse-thread designation, making this bolt compatible with standard threaded hardware setups. It is intended for straight vertical lifts in fixed-angle applications. The shoulder base provides a positive bearing surface, which is required in most rigging standards when the bolt is loaded axially.

Key Features

• 7,000 lb rated lifting capacity for heavy-duty rigging and overhead lift applications
• Grade C-1035 forged steel construction for high strength and durability
• Fully threaded 4-inch shank with 7/8-9 coarse thread
• Shoulder design ensures proper load transfer to the bearing surface

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fixed lifting eye bolt for standard 7/8-9 threaded applications requiring a shouldered, forged steel eye bolt rated to 7,000 lb capacity.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified rigger or maintenance mechanic familiar with applicable ASME B30 and OSHA rigging standards. The bolt must be fully seated with the shoulder flush against the mounting surface before any load is applied. Do not use this eye bolt for angular lifts unless the rated capacity has been properly derated per applicable rigging standards. Always inspect threads and the eye for deformation or damage before each use, and never exceed the rated lifting capacity.
