A standard collared eye bolt is naturally capable of tackling angular loads, but sometimes you need that extra assistance, depending on the nature of the attachment.
That is where our Whitworth thread long shank collared eye bolt with reevable egg links comes into its own. Not only does the lengthened shank unlock more options for deployment, but the included link will make life easier if you are creating a particularly complex assembly.
Like many of our other lifting accessories and loose tackle types, a long shank eyebolt with a reevable egg link and the aforementioned BSW thread is best used in combination with compatible parts and components. You should also keep an eye on the load limits that each bolt is rated to provide. This varies wildly throughout the range, so to ensure safety it is vital to stay on top of the relevant details when making a decision about which bolt to buy.
Load limits tend to drop off when angular load-bearing is taken into account. It is generally better to over-compensate and ensure complete security and stability, rather than taking a risk and veering close to the line in terms of safe loads, whatever type of lifting equipment you use.
