Gibraltar PSS14621GB Fixed Lifting Eye Bolt 780 Lb 5/16-18

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR PSS14621GB is a fixed lifting eye bolt designed for overhead lifting and rigging applications where a permanent, shouldered attachment point is required. Built from grade 304 stainless steel, this eye bolt offers corrosion resistance suitable for demanding environments. The shoulder design distributes load properly and ensures the bolt seats flush against the load surface, a critical factor in maintaining rated capacity. With a 780 lb lifting capacity and a fully threaded 5/16-18 shank measuring 1.125 inches in length, this fastener is sized for light-to-medium lifting tasks in industrial, marine, and mechanical service environments. Licensed riggers, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This eye bolt is used in applications where a fixed, in-line lifting point is needed on machinery, enclosures, panels, or structural components. The 5/16-18 thread size makes it compatible with standard tapped holes of that specification. Fixed eye bolts are intended for straight, vertical pulls only — angular loading on a fixed eye bolt significantly reduces the working load limit and is not recommended without consulting applicable rigging standards. Typical use cases include light machinery rigging, equipment positioning, and anchor point installation in both indoor and light outdoor settings.

Key Features

• 780 lb lifting capacity rated for straight vertical pulls
• With-shoulder design ensures proper load transfer and flush seating against the work surface
• Grade 304 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance
• Fully threaded 5/16-18 shank for secure engagement across the full 1.125-inch thread length
• 7/8-inch eye inside diameter accommodates standard rigging hardware
• 1-7/16-inch eye outside diameter for compatibility with common hooks and shackles

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a fixed lifting eye bolt with a 5/16-18 thread and a shouldered base, suitable for tapped holes in metal panels, machinery frames, and structural members of that thread specification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified rigger or maintenance technician following applicable ASME B30.26 rigging hardware standards. Thread the eye bolt fully into the tapped hole until the shoulder seats flush and firm against the load surface before applying any load. Fixed eye bolts are rated for vertical, in-line loading only — do not apply angular or side loads without de-rating per applicable rigging guidelines. Always verify the host material thread engagement is sufficient to support the rated load before use.
