Description
Overview:
The Long Shank Eye Bolt M16 is a heavy‐duty fixing made from drop‐forged, high tensile steel with a collared (shouldered) design for strength and reliable seating. Rated to a safe working load of 0.80 tonne (800 kg) to BS 529/1, it provides a dependable lifting point when installed correctly. It has a metric M16 thread for straightforward fitting into tapped holes or through‐bolting with a nut, a 24 mm internal eye diameter for easy connection to hooks and shackles, and a long 178 mm shank length (approximately 7 inches) for reaching through thick sections, plates, or timber formwork. The self‐colour (plain) finish is robust and ready for painting or plating if required. Suitable for use on construction plant, workshop fixtures, fabricated structures, and industrial machinery where a strong and durable lifting or securing point is needed.
Key Features:
- Rated SWL 0.80 tonne (800 kg) to BS 529/1 for assured safety when used correctly
- M16 metric thread for secure, precise installation in standard tapped holes or through‐bolted assemblies
- 24 mm internal eye diameter for easy connection to common hooks, shackles, and slings
- Long 178 mm (approximately 7 inches) shank for reaching through thick materials and packers
- Drop‐forged, high tensile steel for superior strength and impact resistance
- Collared shoulder improves seating against the work surface and helps resist bending under load
- Self‐colour finish: durable, easy to inspect, and suitable for priming or plating if needed
- Smooth eye profile helps minimise wear on slings and connectors
- Simple to fit with standard hand tools; clear thread form for reliable tightening
- Versatile fixing for permanent or temporary lifting points, restraints, or suspended equipment
Typical Applications:
Creating lifting and anchoring points on machinery, steel fabrications, site frames, and formwork. Hoisting engines, pumps, gearboxes, plates, or beams with a hoist, chain sling, or webbing sling. Securing plant during maintenance, suspending equipment from gantries, and rigging tasks in workshops, warehouses, and on construction sites. Suitable for through‐bolting to timber or steel where extra reach is required.
