Product Information
Full details
The SecureFix Direct Imperial Dynamo Eyebolt is designed for professionals in the lifting industry and those requiring robust anchoring solutions. Its key benefit lies in its tested and certified rating for lifting applications, offering reliable safety. A key caveat is that it must only be used for straight lifts and by a competent person. This self-colored, silver eyebolt features a 3/4" thread diameter and a substantial Safe Working Load (SWL) of 1.2 Ton, with a larger eye diameter for accommodating bigger attachments.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What does SWL 1.2 Ton mean?
SWL stands for Safe Working Load, which is the maximum load the eyebolt is certified to safely lift. In this case, it is 1.2 metric tons (approximately 1200 kg or 2645 lbs).
Can this eyebolt be used for angled lifts?
No, this eyebolt must only be used for straight lifts (where the load is pulled directly upwards, in line with the eyebolt). Using it for angled lifts can significantly reduce its load capacity and lead to failure.
What is the difference between a Dynamo Eyebolt and a standard eyebolt?
A Dynamo Eyebolt typically features a larger eye diameter compared to standard eyebolts, making it easier to accommodate larger shackles or attachment points.
How do I get the test certificate?
The product description states that the Test Certificate is included and sent via email. Please check your email inbox (including spam/junk folders) after purchase.
What material is the eyebolt made from?
The product description does not specify the base material, but it has a self-color finish. It is designed and tested for lifting applications.
Is this suitable for outdoor use?
The self-color finish offers minimal protection against the elements. For prolonged outdoor use, especially in corrosive environments, consider a plated or stainless steel alternative. Regular inspection and maintenance are crucial if used outdoors.
What does 'competent person' mean in relation to using this product?
A 'competent person' refers to someone with the necessary skills, knowledge, training, and experience to safely operate lifting equipment and assess risks associated with its use.
Troubleshooting
Eyebolt seems loose after installation.
Check the mating thread or fixture for damage. Ensure sufficient thread engagement or that the nut and washer (if used) are properly secured. If mounting into a material, confirm the material's integrity.
Difficulty threading the eyebolt.
Inspect both the eyebolt threads and the receiving thread for any debris, damage, or cross-threading. Clean both carefully and attempt to thread again. Ensure you are using the correct imperial thread size (3/4" x 10 TPI).
Visible signs of wear or damage after use.
Immediately remove the eyebolt from service. Do not use it for any further lifting operations. Replace with a new, certified eyebolt. Contact the supplier for advice if unsure.
Corrosion observed on the eyebolt.
Light surface rust can often be carefully removed with a wire brush. However, if significant pitting or degradation of the material is observed, the eyebolt should be replaced to maintain safety standards.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Tested and certified for safe lifting operations.
- High SWL of 1.2 Ton for significant load-bearing capacity.
- Larger eye diameter accommodates a wider range of attachments.
- Includes essential documentation (Test Certificate) for traceability.
- Standard imperial thread size ensures compatibility with many systems.
Cons
- Strictly limited to straight lifts only; not suitable for angular lifting.
- Requires operation by a competent person, necessitating user expertise.
- Self-color finish offers minimal corrosion resistance compared to plated options.
- Larger eye may not be necessary or suitable for all applications.
- Specific imperial thread size may limit compatibility with metric systems.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Select Appropriate Fixture: Ensure the mounting point (e.g., a beam, plate, or threaded hole) is structurally sound and capable of supporting the intended load.
- Thread Installation: Screw the eyebolt into the designated threaded hole or fixture. For threaded holes, ensure the thread engagement is sufficient for the load. For through-holes, use a suitable nut and washer on the opposite side.
- Ensure Stability: Tighten the eyebolt securely to prevent any movement during operation. Do not overtighten to the point of deforming the threads or the mounting surface.
- Verify Competence: Confirm that the person performing the lift is competent and trained in safe lifting practices.
Compatibility:
- Thread: Compatible with standard imperial threaded holes or fixtures requiring a 3/4" thread diameter and 10 Threads Per Inch.
- Lifting Angle: Must be used exclusively for straight lifts (0-degree angle to the axis of the eyebolt).
- Load Weight: Suitable for loads up to the stated SWL of 1.2 Ton.
Care:
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the eyebolt for signs of wear, damage, deformation, or corrosion. Pay close attention to the threads and the eye itself.
- Cleaning: Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the self-color finish.
- Storage: Store in a dry environment when not in use to minimize potential corrosion.
- Re-certification: While not explicitly stated, professional lifting equipment often benefits from periodic re-inspection or re-certification by a qualified individual, especially after heavy use or if damage is suspected.
