Gibraltar 16275 3 Lifting Eye Nut 2240 Lb 1/2-13 Carbon Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 16275 3 is a regular-duty carbon steel lifting eye nut designed for rigging, hoisting, and load-securing applications. Rated at 2,240 pounds capacity, it features a 1/2-13 threaded base that accepts standard bolts and threaded rod. The eye provides an anchor point for hooks, shackles, and lifting slings. Finished in a self-colored surface treatment, this Grade C-1030 carbon steel nut is suited for industrial, mechanical, and construction environments where a reliable, bolt-on lift point is required. Installation is straightforward and does not require special tooling beyond standard wrenches.

This lifting eye nut fits applications where a threaded fastener lift point is needed on structural assemblies, machinery, or equipment frames. The 1/2-13 thread size is common across industrial hardware, making this nut compatible with widely available fastener stock. At 2,240 pounds working load capacity, it is appropriate for regular-duty lifts in shop, warehouse, and field environments. It is typically installed by millwrights, rigging crews, maintenance mechanics, or general contractors handling equipment positioning and machinery relocation tasks.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install lifting eye nut for applications using 1/2-13 threaded fasteners in regular-duty rigging and equipment-handling setups.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified rigging or maintenance personnel familiar with applicable ASME B30 or OSHA rigging standards. Thread the eye nut fully onto a properly rated 1/2-13 bolt or stud and torque to the fastener manufacturer's specification for the thread class in use. Never side-load the eye beyond its rated angle without a de-rated capacity calculation. Inspect the eye nut for cracks, deformation, or thread damage before each use and remove from service if any defect is found.
