FAQs

What does Grade 80 mean for this eye bolt?

Grade 80 indicates the material's strength classification. Grade 80 is a high-tensile alloy steel suitable for lifting applications, offering a higher Safe Working Load (SWL) compared to lower grades.

How do I get the test certificate?

The test certificate is supplied via email upon request. Contact the supplier and provide your order details to receive it.

Can I use this eye bolt for side loading?

While it has an SWL at 90° (0.4 Ton), it is primarily designed for direct vertical lifting (0°). Side loading puts additional stress on the bolt and its mounting point. Always ensure the load angle is considered and does not exceed the specified SWL for that angle.

What is the Safe Working Load (SWL) for this 8mm eye bolt?

The SWL is 1 Ton when the load is applied directly vertically (0° angle) and 0.4 Ton when the load is applied at a 90° angle.

What thread size is this eye bolt?

This eye bolt features an M8 thread size.

What is the eye diameter?

The eye diameter is 20mm.

Is this eye bolt suitable for overhead lifting structures?

Yes, provided the structure itself is adequately rated and the eye bolt is installed correctly into a secure mounting point that can handle the intended load.

Troubleshooting

Eye bolt feels loose after installation

Remove the eye bolt, clean the threads on both the bolt and the mounting point, and reinstall. Ensure it is screwed in completely and consider using a thread-locking compound if appropriate for the application and material.

Difficulty screwing the eye bolt in

Check for cross-threading or debris in the threads. Ensure the receiving thread is clean and undamaged. If resistance is excessive, stop and re-evaluate the compatibility and condition of both the bolt and the mounting point.

Visible damage or deformation on the eye bolt

Immediately remove the damaged eye bolt from service. It must be replaced as it is no longer safe for lifting. Do not attempt to repair damaged lifting equipment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Certified for lifting applications, ensuring safety compliance.
  • High tensile Grade 80 material provides superior strength.
  • Durable construction for reliable, long-term use.
  • Easy to integrate into existing lifting setups.
  • Clear Safe Working Load (SWL) ratings provided.

Cons

  • Test certificate is not automatically included and requires a request.
  • Specific to an 8mm M8 thread size, limiting interchangeability with other sizes.
  • Requires proper understanding of SWL and load angles for safe operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the threaded hole or mounting point is clean and free from debris.
  2. Verify that the thread type and size (M8) of the eye bolt match the receiving thread or hole.
  3. Screw the eye bolt into the mounting point until it is fully seated. Hand-tighten first, then use appropriate tools if necessary, ensuring not to overtighten and strip the threads.
  4. Confirm the eye bolt is oriented correctly for the intended load direction.

Compatibility:

This 8mm M8 eye bolt is compatible with standard M8 threaded holes or studs. It is designed to work with lifting hooks, chains, or slings that fit within the 20mm eye diameter. Ensure any attached lifting gear is rated for the load and compatible with the eye bolt's Safe Working Load (SWL).

Care:

  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the eye bolt for signs of wear, deformation, cracks, or corrosion before each use.
  • Cleaning: Clean the eye bolt with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the material.
  • Storage: Store in a dry environment away from corrosive substances when not in use.
  • Load Limits: Always adhere to the specified Safe Working Load (SWL) and be mindful of load angles. Never exceed the SWL.
