Gibraltar 26505 8 Fixed Shoulder Eye Bolt 7000 Lb 7/8-9

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 26505 8 is a fixed lifting eye bolt with a shoulder, designed for vertical and inline lifting applications in industrial and commercial rigging operations. Constructed from grade C-1035 steel with a hot dipped galvanized finish, it delivers a rated lifting capacity of 7,000 pounds. The 7/8-9 fully threaded shank runs 5 inches in length, providing solid engagement depth in structural or machinery anchor points. Riggers, millwrights, and maintenance professionals install this fastener where a reliable, load-rated attachment point is required on heavy equipment, structural steel, or machinery frames.

This eye bolt is suited for overhead lifting, hoisting, and load securing in manufacturing facilities, construction sites, and industrial maintenance environments. The shoulder design is critical for off-axis or angular loading scenarios, helping distribute load force at the base of the eye. The fully threaded 5-inch shank accommodates a range of material thicknesses and allows full nut engagement with a washer stack for secure bearing against the work surface. It is sold individually and is appropriate wherever a permanent or semi-permanent anchor point is needed for rigging hardware, chain, or wire rope.

Key Features

• 7,000 lb rated lifting capacity for heavy industrial rigging applications
• Shoulder design supports angular and off-axis load distribution
• 7/8-9 fully threaded shank, 5 inches in length for deep thread engagement
• Eye inside diameter of 1-11/16 inches and outside diameter of 3-1/4 inches
• Grade C-1035 steel construction provides high tensile strength
• Hot dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in industrial environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fixed shoulder eye bolt compatible with standard 7/8-9 threaded anchor applications in industrial rigging, hoisting, and load-securing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified riggers or millwrights following applicable ASME B30 rigging standards. Always ensure the mating threaded hole or nut provides full thread engagement across the entire 5-inch shank length and that a washer is used to bear against the shoulder. Never exceed the rated 7,000 lb lifting capacity, and de-rate for angular loading conditions per rigging safety guidelines. Inspect threads and the eye for damage or deformation before each use.
