Jergens 18504 Forged Shoulder Eye Bolt 2400 Lb 1/2-13

Product Description

The JERGENS 18504 is a forged steel shoulder eye bolt rated for 2,400 pounds lifting capacity. The shoulder design provides a stable load-bearing base against the work surface, reducing side-load stress at the thread entry point. The 1/2-13 threaded shank is fully threaded over a 1.5-inch thread length and measures 0.5 inches in shank diameter. The eye inside diameter is 1-3/16 inches, giving a 2-1/16-inch outside diameter with adequate clearance for standard lifting hardware. Mill finish forged steel construction delivers the structural integrity required for rated overhead and rigging applications in industrial environments.

This eye bolt is intended for use in industrial lifting, rigging, and load-securing applications where a threaded anchor point is needed in a fixed structure, machinery, or workpiece. The shouldered base makes it appropriate for straight vertical lifts and improves performance in applications where a flush bearing surface is available. It is installed by licensed riggers, millwrights, and maintenance technicians following applicable ASME B30.26 and OSHA rigging standards.

Key Features

• Forged steel construction for rated lifting capacity of 2,400 pounds
• Shouldered base reduces side-load stress and provides flush bearing surface contact
• Fully threaded 1/2-13 shank over 1.5-inch thread length for secure thread engagement
• Eye inside diameter of 1-3/16 inches accommodates standard hooks and shackles
• Mill finish forged steel resists deformation under rated load
• Overall length of 3.8438 inches suits a range of through-bolt and threaded insert applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-13 threaded shoulder eye bolt for use with compatible threaded holes or nuts in industrial lifting and rigging assemblies where ASME-rated forged lifting hardware is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified rigger or maintenance technician familiar with ASME B30.26 rigging hardware standards. Ensure the mating threaded hole or nut is clean, undamaged, and of sufficient thread engagement depth before installing. The shoulder must seat fully and flush against the work surface before any load is applied. Never exceed the rated lifting capacity, and do not use for angular lifts beyond the rated working load limit for the applied angle without de-rating per manufacturer or ASME guidelines.
