Product Information
Full details
This guide is for professionals in the lifting and construction industries needing a robust lifting point. The SecureFix Direct Long Shank Eyebolt offers enhanced thread depth for secure anchoring and is certified for lifting applications, providing a safe working load of 0.50 Ton (500Kg). However, users must be competent in its application, especially concerning load angles, as SWL can be affected.

FAQs
What does SWL mean?
SWL stands for Safe Working Load. It is the maximum load the eyebolt is certified to handle safely under specific conditions (e.g., straight lift).
Can this eyebolt be used for dynamic loading or shock loads?
The product information does not specify suitability for dynamic or shock loading. It is designed for static lifting applications. Avoid sudden jerks or impacts.
What is the purpose of the long shank?
The long shank provides extra thread length, allowing for more secure fastening when mounting through thicker materials or when deeper thread engagement is required.
How do I determine the correct mounting base?
The mounting base must be strong enough to withstand the rated load. For lifting, it should be a structural component capable of supporting the 0.50 Ton SWL. Consult structural plans or an engineer if unsure.
What are the dimensions of the eyebolt?
The eyebolt has a 12MM thread diameter. Key dimensions include an overall length of 180MM and a thread length of 180MM. Refer to the 'Performance & Real-World Use' section for a full dimension breakdown.
Is a test certificate always included?
Yes, a test certificate is included and typically sent via email upon purchase, confirming its certification for lifting.
Troubleshooting
Eyebolt does not screw in fully.
Ensure the receiving hole is clear of debris and is of the correct diameter for a 12mm thread. Verify the thread in the mounting material is not damaged.
Visible rust or corrosion on the eyebolt.
Minor surface rust can often be removed with a wire brush. If corrosion is deep or extensive, compromising the material integrity, the eyebolt should be replaced immediately.
Concerns about load capacity for an angled lift.
Consult a qualified engineer or lifting specialist to accurately calculate the reduced SWL for the specific angle of lift. Do not exceed this calculated limit.
Test certificate not received.
Contact the supplier with your order details. The certificate is typically sent via email.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Certified for lifting applications, ensuring safety and reliability.
- Long shank provides greater thread engagement for secure installations.
- Conforms to BS529 standards, meeting industry quality benchmarks.
- Supplied with a test certificate for traceability and assurance.
- Durable silver (self-colour) finish.
Cons
- Requires a competent person for safe and correct installation and use.
- Safe Working Load (SWL) is reduced for incline lifts; angles must be calculated.
- Self-colour finish may show minor surface imperfections inherent to the material.
- Not suitable for applications exceeding the 0.50 Ton SWL.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Competent Person Required: Installation and use must be performed by an individual with the necessary knowledge and training in lifting operations.
- Mounting: Select a mounting location capable of withstanding the rated load. Screw the eyebolt into a solid base material, ensuring maximum thread engagement. For lifting applications, the thread must be fully engaged.
- Load Angle Consideration: For straight lifts, ensure the load is applied vertically through the eye. For incline lifts, calculate the reduced Safe Working Load (SWL) based on the angle of pull before applying any load.
Compatibility:
This eyebolt is designed for use in applications where a 12mm threaded fixing point is suitable and where the load does not exceed the 0.50 Ton (500kg) SWL for straight lifts. It is compatible with materials that can accept a 12mm thread, such as steel structures, concrete (with appropriate fixings), or thick timber.
Care:
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the eyebolt for any signs of wear, damage, deformation, or corrosion before each use.
- Cleaning: Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the material or mask defects.
- Storage: Store in a dry environment when not in use to prevent excessive corrosion.
