Why hot dipped galvanized for shoulder nut eye bolts?
Hot dip galvanizing immerses the eye bolt in molten zinc for a much thicker coating than electroplating, giving lasting corrosion resistance for outdoor and wet through-hole rigging. The shoulder allows angular lifting when seated completely flush, and the extended shank mounts through a hole and secures with a nut on the far side. The angular rules apply: derate for load angle, with capacity dropping to about 25% of the vertical rating at 45 degrees. Pair galvanized eye bolts with galvanized nuts and washers. For the harshest coastal exposure, stainless offers more resistance. Always confirm the rated capacity, ensure the shoulder is flush, and inspect before each lift.
Why choose hot dipped galvanized shoulder pattern with nut eye bolts
- Angular and vertical lifts: shoulder handles side loads when seated flush.
- Thick zinc coating: lasting corrosion resistance outdoors.
- Through-hole mount: secures with a nut on the far side.
- Match coating: pairs with galvanized hardware.
Common applications for galvanized shoulder nut eye bolts
- Outdoor angular and vertical through-hole lifts
- Bridle slings and multi-point picks
- Exterior structural mounting through beams
- Wet and weather-exposed rigging with side loads

Hot Dipped Galvanized Shoulder Pattern with Nut Eye Bolts FAQ
Can I use these for angular lifts?
Yes, if the shoulder is seated completely flush and the capacity is derated for the load angle. At 45 degrees, capacity drops to about 25% of the vertical rating.
How is galvanized different from zinc plated?
Hot dip galvanizing gives a much thicker, more durable zinc coating than electroplated zinc, so it lasts far longer outdoors.
Does the shoulder need to be flush?
Yes. The shoulder must seat completely flush against the load surface to function safely under angular loads.
