Gibraltar 26840 0 Lifting Eye Bolt 7000 Lb 7/8-9 Thread

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 26840 0 is a without-shoulder lifting eye bolt rated for 7,000 lb capacity, designed for overhead lifting, rigging, and load-securing applications in industrial and commercial environments. Machined from C-1035 grade steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance, this eye bolt features a 7/8-9 unified coarse thread and a fully threaded shank measuring 5 inches in length. The forged eye provides a secure attachment point for hooks, shackles, and wire rope hardware. Installation and use are performed by rigging professionals, millwrights, maintenance mechanics, and other qualified trade personnel working under applicable lifting and rigging standards.

This eye bolt is suited for straight-pull vertical lifting in fabrication shops, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and heavy maintenance environments. The without-shoulder design is intended for use where the bolt passes through a work piece and a nut secures it from the opposite side. It accepts standard rigging hardware sized for a 7/8-inch thread diameter. The 1-11/16-inch eye inside diameter accommodates hooks and shackles commonly used in medium-duty overhead rigging setups.

Designed as an OEM-style without-shoulder lifting eye bolt for use with standard 7/8-9 UNC threaded holes and rigging hardware in industrial and commercial lifting applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified rigger or mechanic following ASME B30.26 and applicable OSHA rigging safety requirements. Before installing, ensure the receiving material has a properly tapped 7/8-9 UNC through-hole and that a properly rated nut is used on the back side to secure the bolt flush against the work piece. Never side-load a without-shoulder eye bolt beyond the manufacturer-rated angle; straight vertical pulls only are recommended for maximum rated capacity. Inspect the eye, threads, and finish for damage before each use and remove from service if deformation, cracks, or corrosion are present.
