Collared eyebolts, also known as shoulder eyebolts or shoulder bolts, are a type of fastener which has an integrated collar positioned beneath the eyelet. They have a looped head or 'eye' The collar acts as a shoulder (or spacer) between the attachment point and the load.
They are a crucial component in ensuring the safe and efficient movement of heavy loads and are widely used as an anchor point. Their secure attachment, uniform load distribution, and space-saving design ensure safer and more efficient lifting operations in various industries.
The collar ensures the load is spread evenly across the mounting surface and as they are a compact design.
They are suitable for applications with limited headroom or confined spaces and can be used for a range of applications including wire tensioning and the secure attachment of differently weighted loads.
Another type of eyebolt is an eyenut, which serves the same purpose as an eyebolt. They're a fastener with a looped head and receive a hook or rope and are used for safe handling and moving of loads. Different eyenuts have different load limits.
As with any lifting equipment, safety comes first. Here are a few tips when using collared eyebolts.
