This Long Shank Eyebolt is designed for various applications, particularly in the lifting industry...This Long Shank Eyebolt is designed for various applications, particularly in the lifting industry where it is tested and certified. It conforms to BS529 standards and has a self-colour finish. The Safe Working Load (SWL) is 0.90 Ton. Key dimensions include: A: 36MM, B: 52MM, C: 22MM, D: 16MM, E: 13MM, F: 33.5MM, G: 14.5MM, H: 180MM, with 11 Threads Per Inch. The long shank is ideal for applications requiring extra thread length. A test certificate is included and sent via email. Please note we supply a wide variety of lifting equipment. Product Code: SFICEL16.
This SecureFix Direct Long Shank Eyebolt is designed for professionals in the lifting industry, offering a secure and certified solution for overhead lifting applications. Its key benefit is the extended shank, providing greater thread engagement for enhanced stability. A potential caveat is that it requires appropriate mounting and usage knowledge to ensure safety, as with all lifting equipment. This eyebolt conforms to BS529 standards, features a self-colour finish, and has a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 0.90 Ton. It comes with a test certificate for assurance.

FAQs
What does SWL 0.90 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 0.90 metric tons (900 kg).
What is the purpose of the 'long shank' design?
The long shank provides a greater thread length, allowing for deeper penetration into the mounting material. This offers increased security and load-bearing capability, especially in thicker materials.
Is a test certificate always included?
Yes, a test certificate is included with this eyebolt, confirming its compliance with relevant standards. It is typically sent via email.
What standard does this eyebolt conform to?
This eyebolt conforms to BS529 standards, which are British Standards relevant to lifting equipment.
Can this eyebolt be used for side loading?
No, eyebolts are designed for axial loading (in line with the shank). Side loading or angular loading can significantly reduce the Safe Working Load and should be avoided.
What is the thread size and pitch?
The eyebolt has a diameter of 16mm and a thread pitch of 11 Threads Per Inch (TPI).
How should I maintain the self-colour finish?
The self-colour finish is a natural metal coating. For best results, keep the eyebolt clean and dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. In very corrosive environments, consider applying a compatible protective coating.
Troubleshooting
Eyebolt does not thread smoothly into mounting point.
Check for cross-threading or debris in the mounting hole. Ensure the thread pitch (11 TPI) is correct for the fixture.
Visible signs of corrosion on the eyebolt.
Clean the area with a dry cloth. For ongoing protection in corrosive environments, consider applying a suitable protective coating or replacing the eyebolt if corrosion is severe.
Concerns about load capacity.
Verify the load is within the 0.90 Ton SWL. Ensure the load is applied axially (in line with the shank). Confirm the mounting point itself can support the load. Always refer to the provided test certificate for details.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Certified to BS529 standards for verified safety and quality.
Long shank provides superior thread engagement and mounting security.
Included test certificate offers peace of mind and regulatory compliance.
Durable self-colour finish for resistance to environmental factors.
Rated SWL of 0.90 Ton suitable for many industrial lifting needs.
Cons
Requires proper installation to achieve its rated load capacity.
Not suitable for dynamic or shock loading conditions.
Self-colour finish may require additional protection in highly corrosive environments.
Specific thread size (11 TPI) needs to match compatible fixtures.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Select Appropriate Mounting Point: Ensure the material or structure can safely support the intended load (0.90 Ton SWL).
Thread Engagement: Screw the eyebolt into a pre-tapped hole or a solid anchor point. For maximum strength, the entire thread length (36MM) should be engaged.
Orientation: For lifting, the load should be applied in line with the shank of the eyebolt. Avoid side loading or angular loading, which can significantly reduce the SWL.
Tightening: Ensure the eyebolt is securely tightened against its mounting surface.
Compatibility:
This eyebolt is designed for use with lifting slings, ropes, or chains that can pass through the eye.
Ensure the thread (M16, 11 TPI) is compatible with your existing mounting fixtures or the material it will be threaded into.
Recommended for use in lifting applications conforming to relevant safety standards.
Care:
Regularly inspect the eyebolt for signs of wear, corrosion, or deformation. Discontinue use if any damage is apparent.
Clean with a dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the self-colour finish.
