Gibraltar 14240 3 Fixed Eye Bolt 500 Lb 1/4-20 316 Ss

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 14240 3 is a fixed lifting eye bolt rated for 500 pounds of lifting capacity, designed for use in rigging, lifting, and tie-down applications across industrial and commercial job sites. Built from Grade 316 stainless steel with an electropolished finish, this bolt offers strong corrosion resistance in wet, marine, or chemically exposed environments. The shank is fully threaded at 1/4-20 thread size over a 3-inch length, making it compatible with standard threaded fixtures and anchor points. This is a shoulderless design, intended for inline axial loading only. Rigging crews, millwrights, and maintenance trades install this hardware as part of overhead lifting or restraint systems.

This eye bolt is suited for light-duty lifting tasks in residential, commercial, and industrial settings where a compact, corrosion-resistant anchor point is needed. The 1/4-20 fully threaded shank allows direct installation into tapped holes or with a nut on through-bolt applications. The electropolished Grade 316 stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice for marine environments, food processing facilities, pool equipment rooms, and coastal installations where standard carbon steel hardware would corrode prematurely. It is sold individually.

Key Features

• 500 lb rated lifting capacity for light-duty overhead and tie-down applications
• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• Electropolished finish extends service life in harsh or wet environments
• Fully threaded 3-inch shank with 1/4-20 thread size for broad hardware compatibility
• Fixed eye design with 3/4-inch inside diameter and 1-1/4-inch outside diameter
• Shoulderless configuration rated for axial inline loads only

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/4-20 tapped holes or hex nuts in inline lifting and rigging applications. Confirm that the mating material and anchor point are rated to meet or exceed the 500 lb load rating of this bolt before use.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified rigging or maintenance personnel familiar with applicable ASME B30 lifting hardware standards. Thread the bolt fully into the anchor point so the eye seats flush against the bearing surface before applying any load. Because this is a shoulderless design, loading must be axial and inline only — angular or side loading on a shoulderless eye bolt significantly reduces safe working load and can cause failure. Inspect threads and the eye for damage or corrosion before each use.
