Gibraltar 12980 0 Fixed Lifting Eye Bolt 7000 Lb 7/8-9

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 12980 0 is a fixed lifting eye bolt with a shoulder, designed for rigging and hoisting applications where a secure, load-rated attachment point is required. Rated at 7,000 lb lifting capacity, it is manufactured from C-1035 grade forged steel for high strength and durability. The bolt features a 7/8-9 unified coarse thread, a fully threaded shank length of 5 inches, and a shoulder base that seats flush against the workpiece surface to transfer load more effectively than shoulderless designs. Installation and load verification are performed by qualified rigging professionals or mechanical contractors.

This eye bolt is suited for use in industrial, commercial, and heavy mechanical applications where a fixed, non-swivel lifting point is needed. The shouldered design is appropriate for straight vertical lifting loads. It is commonly installed in structural steel, machinery frames, engine blocks, and other load-bearing assemblies where a permanent or semi-permanent lift point is required. The 1-11/16 inch eye inside diameter accommodates standard hooks, shackles, and rigging hardware.

Key Features

• 7,000 lb rated lifting capacity for demanding rigging tasks
• Shouldered design seats against the workpiece surface for improved vertical load transfer
• C-1035 forged steel construction provides high tensile strength
• 7/8-9 unified coarse thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Fully threaded 5-inch shank allows variable engagement depth
• 1-11/16 inch eye inside diameter fits common hooks and shackles

Compatibility

Designed as a standard fixed shouldered lifting eye bolt for use in any application requiring a 7/8-9 threaded lift point rated at 7,000 lb capacity.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified rigging technician or mechanical contractor familiar with applicable ASME B30.26 rigging hardware standards. The shoulder must be fully seated and drawn tight against the workpiece surface before applying any load. Never side-load a fixed eye bolt beyond its rated angle capacity, and always de-energize or secure any connected machinery before installing or removing the bolt. Inspect threads and eye for deformation, cracks, or corrosion before each use.
