Eyebolts for Fall Protection
Eyebolts for Single Users
An eye bolt is a type of fastener that is designed to be anchored to a surface or structure and provide a secure attachment point for cables, ropes, chains, and other similar objects. It consists of a threaded shank with a circular loop, or "eye," at one end that can be used to attach a hook or other hardware. Eye bolts are typically made of metal, such as stainless steel or zinc-plated steel, and come in a range of sizes and load capacities to accommodate different applications.
They are commonly used in construction, manufacturing, and transportation industries for lifting heavy loads or securing equipment. Eye bolts can also be used for non-load-bearing applications, such as hanging signs or decorations.
Permanent eyebolts for fall protection are a simple and straightforward solution, typically used where access from inside a building is needed to carry out external work such as window cleaning or maintenance.
