PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: PREMIUM M16 LIFTING EYEBOLTS

Secure Load-Handling Starts with the Right Eyebolt

When you’re working in rigging, machinery, transport or heavy-load scenarios, the eyebolts you specify do more than just “hook on” — they need to provide reliable anchoring, clear load rating, corrosion resistance and quick installation.

In practice, weak eyebolt hardware can lead to:

• Unsafe lifting or load shifting
  
  
• Downtime or equipment failure when hardware seizes or breaks
  
  
• Delays due to incorrect thread size, insufficient rating or missing certification
  
  
• Extra labour or risk when mounting bolts don’t integrate cleanly with lifting points

Professionals need an eyebolt solution built for specification clarity, robust load-handling and environmental resilience.

The Solution: Selectlok Lifting Eyebolts

Selectlok’s lifting eyebolts deliver exactly that: high performance, rated for purpose, and supplied with material/finish choices. For example: the M16 variant is rated for a 0.45t safe working load (SWL) when hung vertically. 

Key Features and Benefits

• High Load Capacity: For example, the M16 eyebolt is rated for 0.45 t (450 kg) when used in proper vertical alignment.
  
  
• Thread Compatibility: Available in M12 or M16 threads to suit common lifting anchor points.
  
  
• Robust Materials & Finishes: Options include cast iron zinc-chromate plated or cast iron galvanized — built to last in workshop, plant or transport environments.
  
  
• Versatile Application: Suitable for rigging, machinery lifting, anchoring loads in transport or plant environments.
  
  
• Clear Specification: Load rating and thread size clearly identified — making specification, inspection and compliance simpler.
  

Technical Snapshot

Specification	Value/Description
Thread size	M12 or M16
Safe Working Load	M12 = 0.22 t; M16 = 0.45 t (vertical hang)
Material & Finish	Cast iron, zinc-chromate or galvanized
Application	Lifting, anchoring, rigging, transport load points

Pro Tip: Always use the correct thread size and mounting surface — an M16 eyebolt has significantly higher SWL than an M12, and proper vertical alignment is essential to achieve rated load capacity.

Why It Outperforms Generic Eyebolts

• Many industrial builds use generic eyebolts that lack clear load rating or finish detail — Selectlok’s variant provides documented SWL, material/finish options and specification clarity.
  
  
• The finish choices reduce corrosion risk and maintenance downtime in harsh or exposed environments.
  
  
• The range of thread sizes (M12, M16) gives flexibility for equipment or anchoring points without over-specifying.
  
  
• Simple load rating signage makes audit, inspection and fleet integration easier.

Ideal Application 

• Lifting machinery in a workshop or manufacturing environment — hook points need strong, rated eyebolts.
  
  
• Anchoring loads on transport vehicles, trailers or heavy-haul rigs where vibration and movement are constant.
  
  
• Rigging points in construction, mining or plant applications requiring quick attach/detach and reliable anchor hardware.
  
  
• Maintenance rigs or jigs where a reusable, rated eye-bolt simplifies repeated lifting or positioning tasks.

If your build involves lifting, anchoring or securing heavy loads, the Selectlok Lifting Eyebolts deliver reliability, clarity and specification confidence. With documented load ratings, engineered materials and finish options built for purpose — these eyebolts support both safety and efficiency in professional environments.
