Description
Overview:
The Long Shank Eye Bolt M24 is a heavy-duty fastening and lifting point for construction, engineering, and plant maintenance tasks. Made from high tensile steel and drop forged for consistent strength, it offers a 2.50 tonne working capacity when correctly installed and aligned. The design features a 38mm eye diameter for attaching hooks, shackles, chains, or slings, and a long 178mm shank to suit thicker plates, beams, or through-bolt assemblies. The M24 metric thread provides a secure fit in tapped holes or with a mating nut and washer. A self-colour finish delivers a robust, uncoated surface that is ready for painting or galvanising if extra corrosion protection is required. Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): L1608.
