This guide is for anyone needing a secure and durable fixing point in concrete or cement for heavy items. The SecureFix Direct Concrete Ground Anchor Eye Bolts provide a reliable anchor for installing plant, machinery, and other supported structures. While offering excellent corrosion resistance and strength, ensure the correct hole size is drilled for optimal expansion.

They are designed to create a secure fixing point in concrete or cement for installing and supporting heavy items like plant machinery, structures, or equipment.
It refers to a protective coating applied to the metal. The yellow passivation enhances the zinc's corrosion resistance, making the bolt more durable, especially in potentially damp or outdoor conditions.
For an M10 bolt, you typically need to drill a hole between 10mm and 12mm in diameter. It's best to consult the specific installation guide or test on a scrap piece of concrete if unsure.
These bolts are specifically designed for solid concrete or cement. They may not provide a secure hold in softer materials like regular brick or hollow blocks.
The M10 x 70mm bolt has an overall length of 109mm, a width of 16mm, a thread length of 72mm, an eye length of 27mm, and an eye diameter of 32mm, with an internal eye diameter of 15mm.
Load capacity varies significantly based on the concrete quality, installation depth, and whether the load is shear or tensile. Always refer to the manufacturer's load charts or consult an engineer for critical applications.
Once expanded, these anchor bolts are generally considered permanent fixings. While removal is possible, the expansion mechanism is designed for a single, secure set. Re-installation might compromise holding power.
Ensure the drilled hole is clean and free of debris. Verify the hole diameter is correct for the M10 bolt size. Make sure the nut is being tightened correctly, forcing the expansion mechanism.
The hole may be too large, or the concrete is too soft/crumbled. Remove the bolt and try a slightly larger diameter hole (if concrete allows) or use a different anchoring method.
While passivated zinc offers good protection, extreme conditions can lead to surface corrosion. Clean the area and monitor regularly. For critical applications in corrosive environments, consider stainless steel alternatives.
Ensure the hook or shackle is sized appropriately for the internal eye diameter of 15mm. Check for any obstructions within the eyelet.
