Gibraltar 16285 2 Lifting Eye Nut 5200 Lb 3/4-10 Thread

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 16285 2 is a regular-duty lifting eye nut rated for 5,200 pounds capacity, machined from Grade C-1030 carbon steel with a self-colored finish. The 3/4-10 threaded bore accepts standard 3/4-inch threaded rod or fasteners, providing a secure attachment point for vertical lifting, rigging, and load-handling applications. Standing 3-7/8 inches high with a 3-inch outside eye diameter and a 3-inch bell base width, this eye nut delivers a compact, robust profile suited for repetitive industrial lifting cycles. The inside eye diameter measures 1-3/4 inches, accommodating standard shackles and hooks. Installation is typically performed by millwrights, maintenance mechanics, and rigging crews working in manufacturing, construction, and heavy equipment service environments.

This eye nut is appropriate for use in overhead lifting, tie-down, and load-securing setups where a threaded attachment point is required. The 3/4-10 UNC thread is a widely used coarse-thread standard, making the 16285 2 compatible with common threaded rod stock and anchor bolt configurations. At 1.03 pounds, it is light enough for single-handed installation during assembly but robust enough for sustained load cycles in industrial settings. Typical applications include rigging heavy machinery, suspending equipment from structural steel, and positioning large assemblies during maintenance procedures.

Key Features

• 5,200 lb rated lifting capacity for regular-duty rigging applications
• 3/4-10 UNC coarse thread for compatibility with standard threaded rod and anchor hardware
• Grade C-1030 carbon steel construction for strength and durability
• 3-inch outside eye diameter accommodates standard hooks and shackles
• 3-inch bell base width provides stable seating against mating surfaces
• Self-colored finish — suitable for environments where coating or painting will be applied after installation

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/4-10 UNC threaded rod, anchor bolts, and fasteners in standard industrial rigging and lifting assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified rigging personnel or licensed mechanics familiar with ASME B30 rigging standards. Before loading, confirm the threaded engagement depth meets the minimum required by the applicable rigging specification — shallow engagement reduces rated capacity. Inspect the eye nut and mating threads for damage, corrosion, or deformation before each use. Never exceed the rated working load limit and ensure the load is applied in line with the eye axis to prevent side-loading.
