Troubleshooting

Bolt is loose after installation

Ensure a flat washer is used correctly and re-tighten the nut; if the material has stripped, consider using a larger backing plate for better load distribution.

Difficulty threading the nut

Check the thread for debris or paint buildup; clean the threads and ensure the bolt is not cross-threaded during initial placement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High maximum load capacity of 2390 kg
  • Welded eye construction for improved safety
  • Includes all necessary mounting hardware (nuts and washers)
  • Bright zinc plating provides good outdoor durability
  • Pack size of 20 units offers great value for larger projects

Cons

  • Requires precise drilling to accommodate the 8 mm bolt shaft
  • Not intended for overhead lifting applications
  • Silver zinc finish may eventually show wear in extreme saline environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install these bolts, drill a pilot hole matching the 8 mm diameter to ensure a snug fit. Tighten the included nut and washer until the eye is oriented in the desired direction, ensuring the washer sits flush against the surface to distribute tension evenly.

Care Instructions:

  • Periodically inspect the eye bolt for signs of deformation or corrosion, especially if used in damp or outdoor settings.
  • Do not exceed the maximum load rating of 2390 kg.
  • Regularly check the tightness of the nut, as vibration can lead to loosening over time.
