High-Quality Closed Eye Bolts

What is a Closed Eye Bolt?

A closed eye bolt (also commonly referred to in the industry as a "turned" eye bolt) is a versatile, heavy-duty fastener formed by bending a single piece of steel into a closed loop. Unlike rigid, forged eye bolts, closed eye bolts are uniquely designed to permit dynamic movement in the attachment component. This flexibility is essential in mechanical systems that experience shifting, thermal expansion, or regular pipe movement, preventing the hardware from binding or snapping under stress.

Common Industry Applications

Because of their ability to safely accommodate shifting loads and dynamic structural movement, closed eye bolts are frequently utilized in heavy rigging and pipe suspension systems. Common applications include:

• Attaching heavy wire rope or lifting slings to large objects
• Suspending industrial pipes that are subject to operational movement
• General structural tie-downs and dynamic anchoring
• Rigging assemblies requiring a secure, non-binding attachment point
