Product Information
Full details
This SecureFix Direct M10 Long Shank Eyebolt is for professionals in the lifting industry needing a robust and certified lifting point. Its key benefit is the long shank, providing extended thread engagement for secure mounting in various materials. A caveat to note is that the Safe Working Load (SWL) is reduced when used for inclined lifts, requiring careful angle calculation. This eyebolt offers reliable overhead lifting solutions with certified load ratings and a durable, self-colored finish.

FAQs
What is the Safe Working Load (SWL) for this eyebolt?
The rated Safe Working Load (SWL) for this eyebolt is 0.33 Ton when used for direct vertical lifts. This value is reduced for inclined lifts.
How do I calculate the SWL for an inclined lift?
The SWL decreases significantly with the angle of pull. You must consult a load chart or engineering guidelines specific to eyebolts to determine the reduced SWL based on the angle. Generally, the greater the angle from the vertical, the lower the SWL.
What does 'Long Shank' mean for this eyebolt?
The 'Long Shank' refers to the extended threaded portion of the eyebolt. This allows for greater thread engagement in the mounting material, providing a more secure and stable connection, especially in thicker substrates or when more thread depth is required.
What does 'Self Colour' finish mean?
'Self Colour' means the eyebolt has its natural metallic finish without any plating or painting. This provides a durable surface that resists corrosion, though it may show minor surface variations.
Does this eyebolt conform to any standards?
Yes, this eyebolt conforms to BS4278, which are British Standards related to lifting equipment.
Can I use this eyebolt for lifting people?
No, this eyebolt is not designed or certified for lifting people. It is intended for lifting equipment, materials, or other approved loads under strict safety protocols.
What is the thread pitch of this M10 eyebolt?
The thread pitch for this M10 eyebolt is 1.50mm.
Troubleshooting
Eyebolt spins without tightening
The mounting hole may be stripped or too large. Ensure the tapped hole is intact and the correct M10 thread pitch (1.50) is used. Verify the thread engagement depth is sufficient.
Difficulty threading the eyebolt
Check for dirt or debris in the threads of both the eyebolt and the mounting hole. Ensure you are not cross-threading; start by hand. Verify the hole is correctly tapped for M10, 1.50 pitch.
Concerns about load capacity
Re-verify the lifting angle and consult the load chart to determine the reduced SWL for inclined lifts. Ensure the mounting material can support the calculated load. For loads near the rated capacity, consider professional engineering assessment.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Certified for safe lifting operations.
- Long shank provides enhanced mounting security.
- Conforms to relevant British Standards (BS4278).
- Suitable for angled lifts with proper load calculation.
- Durable, self-colored finish for corrosion resistance.
Cons
- Reduced Safe Working Load (SWL) for angled lifts.
- Requires accurate load calculations for angled applications.
- May not be suitable for extremely heavy-duty applications requiring higher SWL.
- Specific installation knowledge is required for safe use.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound and capable of supporting the applied load.
- Select a pre-drilled hole that matches the M10 thread size (1.50 pitch) and the required depth for the long shank.
- Thread the eyebolt into the hole by hand initially to avoid cross-threading.
- Use a wrench on the base of the eyebolt (where indicated by 'KGA' dimension) to tighten securely. Do not overtighten.
- For inclined lifts, calculate the reduced Safe Working Load based on the angle of pull. Ensure the bolt is oriented correctly to handle the load direction.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with any M10 threaded hole or tapped material with a 1.50 pitch.
- Suitable for mounting into steel, concrete (with appropriate anchors), or robust timber.
Care:
- Inspect the eyebolt regularly for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage before each use.
- Keep the threads clean to ensure proper engagement.
- Avoid exposing the self-colour finish to harsh chemicals that could degrade the metal.
