Choosing the appropriate eye bolt for your project is essential to guaranteeing both effectiveness and safety. Here are some important considerations:
- Working Load Limit (WLL): This tells you the maximum safe load for the bolt.
- Material: Ensure the bolt is compatible with the material it’s attaching to and can handle the weight. Stainless steel is great for corrosion resistance.
- Attachment Type: Make sure the bolt suits your equipment or material for a secure fit.
- Load Angle: Eye bolts hold less weight at an angle, so choose a shoulder eye bolt for angled loads.
- Safety: Avoid overloading and use tools to securely tighten bolts.
