US Cargo Control GVEB58X8 Eye Bolt

The US Cargo Control GVEB58X8 is a steel eye bolt with a five-eighths inch diameter and an eight inch shank length. It features a one and one-quarter inch inside diameter eye for attaching hooks, shackles or rope. The forged steel construction suits lifting, rigging and tie-down applications where a fixed anchor point is required.

Upgrade from smaller or shorter eye bolts

This bolt replaces hardware with a smaller eye diameter or shorter shank when the load requires a larger connection point or deeper thread engagement. The jump is worth it when the working load limit of the smaller hardware is exceeded or when the mounting surface demands the extra shank length for full thread capture.

Fits into rigging assemblies with matching hardware

The eye accepts standard shackles, hooks or synthetic slings rated for the same working load limit. A matching nut and washer are needed to secure the threaded shank against the mounting surface. The plain steel finish allows painting or galvanising to match existing corrosion protection on the structure.

Questions about this item

What hole diameter does the 5/8 in eye bolt shank require?

Drill a 5/8 in clearance hole through the mounting surface so the shank passes cleanly without binding.

Which step do installers often skip when threading the 8 in shank?

They forget to run a nut onto the threads before tightening, leaving the eye loose under load.

When should the steel eye bolt be replaced due to corrosion?

Replace it once surface rust penetrates the shank or the eye ID shows pitting that reduces cross-section.
