Gibraltar 26250 7 Fixed Shoulder Eye Bolt 2000 Lb

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 26250 7 is a fixed lifting eye bolt with shoulder, designed for vertical lifting applications in industrial, construction, and mechanical service environments. It features a 7/16-14 thread and a 2,000 lb lifting capacity, making it suitable for securing rigging hardware, hoisting equipment, or anchoring loads to structural members. The shank and thread are fully threaded to 3 inches in length, providing positive engagement depth. The body is machined from C-1035 grade steel with a zinc finish coating for corrosion resistance. Licensed riggers, millwrights, and maintenance mechanics are the typical installers of this hardware.

This eye bolt is rated for straight vertical pulls in fixed-load rigging setups. The shoulder design helps distribute load stress at the bearing surface, which is critical when attaching to plate stock or structural steel. It is used in overhead lifting rigs, tie-down anchor points, and machinery positioning in both residential shop settings and commercial industrial facilities. The 7/16-14 thread size is a standard coarse-thread pitch compatible with common nuts and threaded inserts in that size range.

Key Features

• 2,000 lb lifting capacity for vertical fixed-load applications
• Fully threaded shank at 3 inches length for maximum thread engagement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fixed shoulder eye bolt for use with standard 7/16-14 coarse-thread hardware in vertical lifting and rigging assemblies.

Installation Notes

Fixed shoulder eye bolts must be installed by qualified riggers or maintenance personnel familiar with applicable ASME B30 rigging standards. The shoulder must seat flush against the mounting surface before applying any load. Always verify thread engagement depth meets the minimum required for the rated capacity, and inspect threads for damage before installation. Never load a fixed eye bolt at an angle — side loading a fixed eye bolt reduces rated capacity significantly and can cause failure.
