Shoulder Eye Bolt
- Eye bolt with a forged shoulder under the eye for side load
- Shoulder resists bending when the pull is not in line
- ANSI C135.4, hot-dip galvanized to ASTM A-153
- Thread 5/8 / 3/4 in with square nut + lock nut
- Carries insulator strings and angled guy loads
- For angle and junction structures with off-axis pull

Application & Installation
Where it is used
The shoulder eye bolt adds a forged shoulder beneath the eye, giving the bolt a wide bearing seat that resists bending when the load pulls off the bolt axis. It is used at angle and junction structures where an insulator string or guy applies side load that would bend a plain eye bolt.
Installation sequence
- Select the thread and length for the member and side load.
- Bore the member for the shank.
- Seat the shoulder flat on the member face.
- Secure with the square washer, nut and lock nut.
- Connect the insulator string / guy to the eye.
Buyer’s Guide: Shoulder Eye Bolt
1. What a Shoulder Eye Bolt Is
A shoulder eye bolt is an eye bolt with an integral forged shoulder between the eye and the shank. The shoulder seats flat on the member and braces the bolt against side load, so an off-axis pull does not bend the shank where it leaves the member.
2. Why the Shoulder
A plain eye bolt is strongest in straight tension; a side pull tries to bend it at the member face. The shoulder spreads that side load over a wide bearing seat, keeping the bolt straight at angle and junction structures.
3. Where It Is Used
At angle poles, junction structures and double dead-ends where the insulator string or guy pulls across the bolt rather than straight off it. The shoulder is what lets the eye bolt take that geometry.
4. ANSI Thread & Length
ANSI C135.4 in 5/8 in and 3/4 in threads, lengths to suit the member plus hardware. Size so the lock nut fully engages and the shoulder seats flat.
5. Load & Galvanizing
Minimum tensile ~6,800–9,000 kg+, drop-forged and hot-dip galvanized to ASTM A-153 for one-piece strength and long life.
6. Pairing
Takes insulator clevises, shackles and guy hardware. Order the mating fitting sized to the eye and the expected side load.
