Gibraltar 26435 8 Fixed Shoulder Eye Bolt 2600 Lb 1/2-13

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 26435 8 is a fixed lifting eye bolt with shoulder, designed for overhead lifting and rigging applications in industrial and commercial environments. Built from grade C-1035 steel with a hot dipped galvanized finish, this bolt delivers a rated lifting capacity of 2,600 pounds. The fully threaded shank measures 4.5 inches in length on a 1/2-13 thread size, providing solid thread engagement for secure load attachment. Riggers, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install this hardware wherever a fixed, non-swivel eye point is required for chain, hook, or wire rope connections.

This eye bolt is suited for use in manufacturing facilities, construction sites, and equipment rigging scenarios where a shouldered, fixed-eye configuration is specified. The shoulder design is critical when loads may not be perfectly in-line with the bolt axis, distributing stress at the bearing surface. The 1/2-13 thread pitch is a standard unified coarse thread, compatible with common tapped holes and standard hex nuts across a wide range of structural and equipment applications.

Key Features

• 2,600 lb rated lifting capacity for reliable overhead load handling
• Shoulder design distributes load stress at the mounting surface
• Fully threaded 4.5-inch shank on 1/2-13 UNC thread for maximum engagement flexibility
• Grade C-1035 steel construction for strength and durability
• Hot dipped galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• Eye inside diameter of 1.1875 inches accommodates standard hooks and shackles

Compatibility

Designed as a fixed shoulder eye bolt for use with standard 1/2-13 UNC tapped holes in structural steel, equipment frames, and machinery where a stationary lifting point is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified riggers or maintenance mechanics following applicable ASME B30.26 rigging hardware standards. Always ensure the tapped hole is clean and the bolt is threaded to full engagement before applying any load. For shouldered eye bolts, the shoulder must be seated flush against the mounting surface to achieve rated capacity. Never exceed the rated working load limit and inspect the eye bolt for deformation or corrosion before each use.
