Gibraltar 16290 6 Lifting Eye Nut 7200 Lb 7/8-9 Thread

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 16290 6 is a regular-duty carbon steel lifting eye nut rated for 7,200 pounds capacity. It features a 7/8-9 thread and is designed for use with hoists, rigging hardware, and overhead lifting applications in industrial and commercial environments. The nut accepts a standard lifting hook or shackle through its eye opening, allowing load attachment directly to a threaded rod or bolt. Grade C-1030 carbon steel construction provides the strength required for repeated load cycles. A self-colored finish indicates an uncoated, bare-metal surface. Licensed riggers and maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This eye nut is suited for industrial rigging, machinery lifting, and structural load-point applications where a threaded fastener anchor is required. It is commonly used in manufacturing facilities, construction sites, and maintenance operations that require a reliable overhead attachment point on threaded rod or stud assemblies. The 7/8-9 thread size fits standard UNC coarse-thread fasteners widely used across trade and industrial settings.

Key Features

• 7,200 lb rated lifting capacity for regular-duty overhead rigging
• Grade C-1030 carbon steel construction for structural strength
• 7/8-9 UNC coarse thread for compatibility with standard threaded rod and studs
• 2 inch inside eye diameter accommodates hooks and shackles
• 3-1/2 inch outside eye diameter and 3-1/2 inch bell/base width for stable seating
• Self-colored finish — no coating applied, bare carbon steel

Compatibility

Designed for use with 7/8-9 UNC threaded rods, bolts, or studs in standard overhead lifting and rigging assemblies. No specific OEM system compatibility is stated for this part.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified rigger or maintenance professional familiar with applicable ASME B30 rigging standards. Thread the eye nut fully onto the fastener and ensure the base seats flush against the load surface before applying any load. Never side-load an eye nut that is not rated for angular loading, and always verify the working load limit against the full rigging system rating. Inspect threads and eye for cracks or deformation before each use.
