Gibraltar 26865 3 Fixed Eye Bolt 500 Lb 1/4-20 Thread

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 26865 3 is a fixed lifting eye bolt rated for 500 pounds, designed for use in rigging, lifting, and tie-down applications across construction, industrial, and mechanical trades. Built from C-1035 steel with a hot dipped galvanized finish, this eye bolt resists corrosion in outdoor and high-moisture environments. The 1/4-20 fully threaded shank runs 2 inches in length, allowing direct installation into tapped holes or with a nut. It is shoulderless, meaning load must be applied in line with the shank axis. Installers include riggers, millwrights, maintenance mechanics, and general contractors working with overhead lifting hardware.

This eye bolt suits light-duty vertical lifting applications in residential and commercial construction, manufacturing facilities, and utility installations. The fully threaded 2-inch shank threads directly into steel, wood, or concrete anchor inserts where a 1/4-20 thread is specified. Its compact eye inside diameter of 3/4 inch accommodates small hooks, shackles, and light-gauge chain. Because this is a fixed-eye, shoulderless design, it is intended strictly for in-line vertical loads and must not be used for angular or side loading.

Key Features

• 500 lb rated lifting capacity for light-duty vertical rigging
• 1/4-20 fully threaded shank, 2 inches long, for direct fastener installation
• C-1035 steel construction with hot dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance

• Compact form factor at 0.06 pounds for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a 1/4-20 threaded fixed lifting eye bolt with a 2-inch shank length and a 500 lb straight vertical load rating.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified rigger or mechanic familiar with ASME B30.26 and applicable lifting hardware standards. Thread the shank fully into a properly sized and rated anchor point and ensure the eye is oriented in line with the direction of pull - angular loading on a shoulderless eye bolt can cause failure. Always de-energize, block, and isolate equipment before attaching lifting hardware. Inspect the eye bolt for damage, corrosion, or thread deformation before each use.
