How much do eye bolts hold?
For example, an eye bolt with a 1/4 inch shank can typically hold up to 600 pounds at a straight pull (no angle). However, at a 15 degree angle, the maximum weight capacity drops to 480 pounds (80% of the “straight pull” weight capacity).
What is the difference between a screw eye and an eye bolt?
Screw eye bolts are essentially just a screw with an eye. Also commonly referred to as a lag eye, a screw eye bolt has an eye formed on one end and a threaded shank that tapers to a point. They are used primarily for light applications and are screwed into wood or lag anchors.
How do I choose an eye bolt?
Always check the manufacturer’s specification for rated capacity before conducting any lift. Angular lifts greater than 45° from the shank centreline is not recommended. When more than one eye bolt is used to lift an evenly distributed load the capacity is reduced on each eye bolt, based on the angle of the load.
When must a shoulder eye bolt be used?
Use plain or regular eye bolts (non-shoulder) or ring bolts for vertical loading only. Angle loading on non-shoulder bolts will bend or break them. Use shoulder eye bolts for vertical or angle loading. Be aware that lifting eye bolts at an angle reduces the safe load.
