Bolts
Eye Bolts Manufacturer, Wholesaler, Supplier & Exporter
Eye bolts provide a fixed loop for lifting slings, rigging hardware, or cable anchoring. We manufacture forged lifting eye bolts to DIN 580 / ISO 3266 alongside lighter-duty welded eye bolts, in steel and stainless steel.
The single biggest distinction buyers need to get right on eye bolts is whether the application is actually a lifting application or just a tie-down point — the two look nearly identical but are engineered completely differently. A forged DIN 580 lifting eye bolt is designed and tested for straight-line vertical lift with a published working load limit; a lighter welded eye bolt sold as general hardware carries no such rating and should never be used to lift anything.
Angle of pull matters more than most buyers expect. DIN 580 eye bolts are rated for their full working load limit only when lifted vertically, straight through the eye — pulling at an angle derates the safe working load significantly, sometimes by more than half, which is why rigging professionals specify shoulder-pattern eye bolts specifically when an angled lift is unavoidable.
Minimum Order — Container Quantity (Approx.)
A standard 20ft container (~20 tons) holds approximately 250,000-400,000 pieces of eye bolts in common sizes (M10-M12). Exact quantity depends on size and type and is confirmed at quote time.
You don't need a full container to order. Hurain Engitech & Trade — the group Global Fasteners Exports operates under — regularly ships smaller, partial-container (LCL) orders of just a few pallets or boxes for buyers who don't yet need FCL volume, consolidated with other cargo to keep freight cost reasonable.

Real-World Use Cases
Machinery lifting points
Forged DIN 580 eye bolts rated for vertical lifting during installation, maintenance, or relocation of equipment.
Cable and canopy anchoring
General-purpose (non-lifting) eye bolts anchoring guy-wires, tensioned cables, or canopy structures.
Marine deck fittings
Stainless eye bolts for rigging and tie-down points on boats and marine structures.
Common Mistakes Buyers Make
Using a non-rated eye bolt for lifting
General hardware-store eye bolts are not proof-load tested and should never substitute for a certified DIN 580 lifting eye bolt.
Lifting at an angle without derating
Angled lifts significantly reduce the safe working load of a straight-pattern eye bolt — a shoulder pattern is needed for angled lifts.
Under-tightening a shoulder eye bolt
Shoulder-pattern eye bolts need the shoulder seated flush against the mounting surface to achieve their rated capacity — a loose eye bolt is a weak eye bolt.
Glossary of Terms
- Working load limit (WLL)
- The maximum load a lifting eye bolt is rated to carry under specified conditions, always well below its actual breaking strength for a safety margin.
- Shoulder pattern eye bolt
- An eye bolt with a shoulder under the eye, designed to maintain more of its rated capacity under angled loading.
- Swivel eye bolt
- An eye bolt with a rotating eye that maintains alignment with the load direction as it shifts during a lift.
Quality Inspection We Perform
Dimensional inspection
Thread gauge, length, diameter, and head/drive geometry checked against the specified standard.
Material verification
Grade and material composition confirmed against the order specification, with mill test certificates on request.
Mechanical testing
Tensile strength, hardness, and proof-load testing on sample batches, particularly for structural and high-tensile grades.
Finish & coating check
Plating thickness, galvanizing coverage, or passivation quality inspected before packing.
HS Code & Customs Classification
Most fasteners fall under HS Chapter 73 (articles of iron or steel) or Chapter 74/76 for brass and aluminum items — the exact 8-10 digit subheading depends on the specific product and material. We include the HS code on the commercial invoice; confirm the applicable import duty with your customs broker, since rates vary by country and trade agreement.
Packaging & Export Labeling
Export packing is chosen to survive ocean freight and container loading without corrosion or damage: corrosion-protected paper or oil coating where needed, then cartons, drums, or bulk bags, palletized or crated for the container. We can match specific labeling, barcoding, or carton-marking requirements for OEM and repeat buyers.
