Gibraltar 26129 6 Fixed Lifting Eye Bolt 7000 Lb 7/8-9

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 26129 6 is a fixed, shoulderless lifting eye bolt rated for 7,000 pounds of lifting capacity. Forged from C-1035 steel and finished with a hot dipped galvanized coating for corrosion resistance, this eye bolt is designed for rigging, hoisting, and load-securing applications in industrial and construction environments. The 7/8-9 UNC thread runs the full 2.25-inch shank length, providing consistent thread engagement across the entire fastener. Riggers, millwrights, and maintenance trades install this type of hardware when attaching lifting slings, hooks, or cables directly to machinery, structural steel, or heavy equipment.

This eye bolt is suited for straight vertical lifting loads in applications where a shoulder-style bolt is not required. The fully threaded shank allows installation into tapped holes or through materials with a nut. The hot dipped galvanized finish makes it appropriate for use in outdoor, marine-adjacent, or high-moisture environments where bare steel would corrode. It is commonly installed in manufacturing facilities, warehouses, shipyards, and construction sites by rigging crews and maintenance mechanics following applicable ASME B30 and OSHA lifting hardware requirements.

Key Features

• Fully threaded 2.25-inch shank with 7/8-9 UNC thread
• Forged C-1035 steel construction for high tensile strength
• Hot dipped galvanized finish for corrosion and moisture resistance
• Eye inside diameter of 1.6875 inches accommodates standard hooks and shackles
• Eye outside diameter of 3.25 inches for use with larger rigging hardware

Compatibility

Designed for use in rigging and lifting applications requiring a fixed, shoulderless eye bolt with a 7/8-9 UNC thread and a 7,000 lb capacity rating.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified rigger or maintenance mechanic familiar with ASME B30 rigging standards and applicable OSHA load handling regulations. Before installation, confirm the receiving material can support the rated load and that the tapped hole or through-bolt configuration provides full thread engagement across the entire shank length. Never exceed the rated lifting capacity and avoid angular loading on a fixed eye bolt, as this significantly reduces safe working load. Inspect the eye bolt and surrounding hardware for cracks, deformation, or corrosion before each use.
