Gibraltar 26495 2 Fixed Lifting Eye Bolt 7000 Lb 7/8-9

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 26495 2 is a fixed shoulder-style lifting eye bolt rated for 7,000 lb capacity, designed for rigging and overhead lifting applications in industrial, construction, and maintenance environments. It is machined from grade C-1035 steel and finished with a hot dipped galvanized coating for corrosion resistance. The shank measures 4.5 inches with a fully threaded 7/8-9 thread length of 4.5 inches, making it suitable for through-bolt and tapped-hole installations. Licensed riggers, millwrights, and maintenance mechanics are the typical installers for this type of hardware.

This eye bolt is used in fixed vertical or in-line load lifting scenarios where a shouldered design is required to properly distribute load against a work surface. The shoulder contacts the mounting surface to provide a stable bearing face, which is critical for safe rated-load performance. Typical applications include machinery lifting, structural rigging points, and anchor installations in industrial facilities and job sites where corrosion resistance is needed in outdoor or wet environments.

Key Features

• 7,000 lb rated lifting capacity for demanding rigging applications
• With-shoulder design provides proper load bearing against the mounting surface
• Fully threaded 4.5-inch shank on 7/8-9 thread for secure engagement
• Grade C-1035 steel construction for strength and durability
• Hot dipped galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in outdoor and wet environments
• Eye inside diameter of 1.6875 inches and eye outside diameter of 3.25 inches accommodate standard rigging hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a standard fixed shoulder lifting eye bolt with 7/8-9 thread, compatible with through-hole or tapped mounting points requiring a 7/8-9 fastener and a rated 7,000 lb vertical lift capacity.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified rigger or maintenance mechanic following applicable ASME B30.26 and OSHA rigging standards. The eye bolt must be threaded fully until the shoulder seats flush and firm against the mounting surface before applying any load. Never side-load a fixed eye bolt beyond its rated angle capacity, as off-axis loading significantly reduces safe working load. Inspect threads and the eye for deformation or cracks before each use.
