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 versatile mechanical fastener consisting of a circular loop (the “eye”) at one end and a threaded shaft, also known as a shank, at the other. The threaded shank is designed to be screwed securely into a solid structure, such as a wooden pole, steel framework, or concrete fixing, anchoring the eye firmly in place.
The looped eye is used as a guide or attachment point for ropes, cables, chains, or wire, allowing them to be routed, secured, or tensioned safely and efficiently. This makes eye bolts particularly valuable in applications where controlled load direction or cable management is required.
Eye bolts primarily serve as removable and reliable attachment points for securing or guiding cables and ropes. They are available with either fully threaded or partially threaded shanks. A fully threaded shank allows the eye bolt to sit flush against the mounting surface, providing a compact and secure fit, while a partially threaded shank allows the eye to stand slightly proud of the surface, offering greater clearance for cables, hooks, or fittings.
Due to their strength, adaptability, and ease of installation, eye bolts are widely used across industries such as utilities, construction, telecommunications, and overhead line applications.
What kind of Eye Bolts do we forge?
Each type of Eye Bolt is suited for different sorts of tasks, and it is very crucial to ensure the selected bolt meet its working load requirements.
- Lifting Eye Bolt: These kinds of Eye Bolts are used for mainly hoisting and rigging, featuring a circular eye and a threaded shaft for attaching slings or hooks. They are mainly designed for vertical lifts where loads are applied straight along the bolt’s axis.
- Heavy Duty Eye Bolt: Have you got heavier loads? Because these are reinforced to make sure, they can handle heavier loads in industrial settings. They are designed for high weight capacities and can support vertical or angled loads depending on the type.
- Threading Eye Bolt: These have an eye and a threaded shaft, used for anchoring by screwing into surfaces. They are typically used for lighter-duty tasks, like securing cables or hanging objects.
- Pigtail: Yeah, odd name but these are mainly used to suspend pipes and conduits underground.
- Palm (Straight Sides): These ones are designed with straight sides for specific applications.
- Shackle (Curved Sides) Big Eye Bolts: These have a reputation for being used in the lifting industry, and have been used for decades, they’re very ideal for lifting heavy loads
- Collared Eye Bolt: These provide a secure lifting point for attaching lifting equipment.
- Dynamo Eye Bolt: Feature a larger eye, originally designed for lifting dynamo motors vertically.
