Eyebolts, swivel hoist rings and bolt-on lifting points that create a rated attachment on machinery, moulds and fabrications. Rotating and collared eyebolts from Cartec, GT and Cobra; for welded fixings, see weld-on hooks, and connect with shackles.
A fixed eyebolt is intended for load in one direction and loses capacity when pulled at an angle. A swivel hoist ring rotates and pivots to stay aligned with the sling leg, which is why it suits anything lifted repeatedly or from varying positions.
The fixing must be fully seated with the flange flush against the surface. Insufficient thread engagement is a common cause of failure, and the required depth varies with the parent material — check the manufacturer's guidance for steel, aluminium or cast iron.
Rated capacity assumes the loading direction stated by the manufacturer. Angled loading reduces it, sometimes considerably. Where the sling angle will vary, swivel hoist rings remove the question.
An eyebolt is fixed and rated for load in one plane. A swivel hoist ring rotates and pivots to stay aligned with the sling at any angle.
It depends on the parent material and the product. Check the manufacturer's guidance — softer materials need more. The flange must sit flush against the surface.
Only within the manufacturer's stated reduction, and the loss can be substantial. Where the angle varies, use a swivel hoist ring.
