Eye Bolts
At Valley Nut & Bolt, we build custom-made hardware for your services. Eye bolts play a key role in that mission. These fasteners handle the toughest jobs, from lifting heavy loads to anchoring critical structures. We supply standard and custom eye bolts designed for demanding applications. Whether you need plain or shoulder types, welded or forged styles, we provide options that match your exact needs.
Reliable Performance in the Field
We carry ASTM A193 Grade B7 eye bolts for high-stress environments. These bolts can withstand elevated temperatures and corrosive conditions. Our stock includes stainless steel and hot-dip galvanized finishes, giving you added durability and corrosion resistance. Every bolt we ship matches your specifications, so you never face a compromise in quality or performance.
Eye bolts hold up under serious pressure. Construction crews use them for hoisting materials. Industrial teams count on them for load-securing systems. You’ll also find them in marine, utility, and rigging projects. Their looped heads create a strong anchor point while the threaded shank locks them securely in place. For related needs, check out our anchor bolts, which provide reliable support in various construction applications.
Custom Eye Bolts That Solve Real Problems
As a custom manufacturer, we tailor every order to your exact specs. We can create custom bent eye bolts in-house for a unique fixture to your liking. Regardless of the specific threads, lengths, or coatings you require, we machine every feature to match your drawings.
Our shop handles heading, threading, punching, welding, and a variety of other processes. That means we control quality from start to finish. We don’t outsource the important steps. When your job requires a specific solution, we respond with fast turnaround times and expert engineering support.
Custom Eye Bolts Built In-House, Backed by Experience
Every product we build reflects decades of manufacturing experience. Our crew understands the critical importance of eye bolts to a project. So when you need non-standard threads, heavy-duty welded loops, or oversized forged options, we already know how to make it happen. We also stock forged versions for applications that require high strength but don’t need custom specs.
Custom hardware can feel like a hassle, but it doesn’t have to if you work with a shop that builds it right the first time. When you partner with us, you won’t waste time chasing suppliers who only offer catalog parts. You’ll get what you need from a team that understands the job from your side of the table.

Types of Eye Bolts We Supply
Different jobs call for different eye bolts, and using the wrong style is how rigging fails and timelines slip. We supply the full range so you can spec the right part the first time.
- Forged Eye Bolts: Heat-treated under pressure for maximum tensile strength; the go-to choice for overhead lifting and load-bearing rigging.
- Plain Eye Bolts: Ideal for straight vertical pulls where no angular load is involved.
- Collared Eye Bolts: Feature a machined shoulder at the base of the shank, allowing them to handle angular loading without bending or shearing.
- Welded Eye Bolts: Have a fully closed, welded loop that prevents the eye from spreading open under shifting loads.
- Swivel Eye Bolts: Rotate a full 360 degrees and pivot on a second axis, eliminating cable twist on dynamic lifts.
- Machine Eye Bolts: Thread directly into tapped holes on equipment; cut to OEM prints with the exact thread pitch and shank length your equipment requires.
- Bent Eye Bolts: Formed from straight rod stock; custom sizes available for non-standard dimensions when catalog options don't fit the job.
- Lag Eye Bolts: Feature wood-thread shanks designed for secure timber anchoring.
Need a finish that holds up outdoors? Our in-house hot-dip galvanizing line coats every style we produce.
Eye Bolts by Application
- Rigging Eye Bolts: Carry stamped working load limits for field verification by crane operators and millwrights; available in drop-forged carbon steel and alloy steel for hoisting machinery, structural steel, and heavy assemblies.
- Marine Eye Bolts: Produced in 304 and 316 stainless steel to withstand saltwater exposure on docks, boats, and offshore equipment.
- Construction Eye Bolts: Used to anchor formwork, secure scaffolding, and provide tie-off points for fall protection.
- Utility Eye Bolts: Support electrical and telecom contractors anchoring guy wires, transformers, and pole hardware; matching pole line bolts and U-bolts available to the same specs.
- Industrial Eye Bolts: Designed for plant maintenance, equipment lifting, and machinery anchoring across heavy manufacturing environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
A plain eye bolt is rated for vertical, in-line pulls only. A collared (shoulder) eye bolt has a machined shoulder at the base that allows angular loading up to 45 degrees from vertical. If your load might pull off-axis, you need the shoulder version.
Yes. We build custom eye bolts in carbon, alloy, and stainless steels with non-standard shank lengths, eye diameters, threads, and finishes. Send us a drawing or a sample and we'll quote it. See our full custom manufacturing capabilities for the in-house processes we run.
Forged rigging eye bolts ship with WLL ratings stamped on the eye, and we provide material test reports on request.
Stock items ship from inventory. Custom forged or bent eye bolt runs typically ship in two to six weeks depending on quantity, material, and finish.
