Eye Bolt and Eye Turnbuckle
Eye bolts are threaded fasteners featuring a looped head, designed to create secure attachment points for lifting, rigging, or anchoring applications. They are commonly used in structural steelwork, construction, marine hardware, and industrial machinery for tensioning cables, hoisting equipment, or anchoring tie-downs. Eye turnbuckles consist of a central threaded body with looped (eye) ends, used…
