304 Stainless Steel Cable Lifting Slings , Cableway Wire Rope Choker Sling

Application:

It is recommended to use shouldered eye bolts for rigging hardware, except when prohibited by the configuration of the item to which the eye bolt is attached. Where non-shouldered eye bolts are required, they shall be used only in vertical pulls or in rigging systems that are designed, analyzed, and approved by a qualified person.

For vertical loading, eye bolts without shoulders have the same load-carrying ability as shouldered eye bolts.

Shoulders of eye bolts shall seat uniformly and snugly against the surface on which they bear. Never undercut eye bolt to seat shoulder against the load. Always countersink receiving hole or use washers to seat shoulder.

When more than one eye bolt is used in conjunction with multiple-leg rigging, spreader bars or lifting beams should be used to eliminate angular loading. In case two or more than two eye bolts are used without spreader bars, their orientation shall be such that load is in the plane of the eyes as shown below (Orientation of eye bolts). When eye bolts cannot be properly seated and aligned with each other, a steel washer or spacer not to exceed one thread pitch may be required to put below the eye bolt. Proper thread engagement must be maintained. Use a washer with approximately the same diameter as the eye bolt shoulder and the smallest inside diameter that will fit the eye bolt shank.
