Eye Bolts

Here at B.B Price, we’re one of the UK’s leading manufactures of galvanized eye bolts and stainless-steel eye bolts.

An Eye Bolt is a mechanical fastener, consisting of a loop at one end and a threaded shaft, also known as a shank on the other. The shank itself is screwed into a solid structure, such as a wooden pole, to help secure the eye into position. The looped eye is typically used to thread ropes or cables through, which helps to guide or direct them.

Their purpose? They serve as removable attachment points for securing cables or ropes. They can have a fully or partially threaded shank, allowing the eye to either sit flush against the securing surface, or slightly separated.
