Forged Eye Bolt Working Load Limits
Important:
Working load limits for eye bolts are based on a straight vertical lift in a gradually increasing manner.
Standard forged eye bolts should not be used with angular lifts. If an angular lift is required, a properly seated shoulder pattern machinery eye bolt must be used.
Load limits are based on a safety factor of 5 to 1.
