Ganter's lifting eye bolts and lifting eye nuts are designed as reliable load-bearing components for the machine and plant engineering industry. The load-bearing capacity of these products depends on the specific thread size and the material used. Options include steel, A2 stainless steel, or A4 stainless steel for special requirements.

Load capacities for lifting eye bolts and lifting eye nuts

The permissible load capacity varies depending on the product standard and model. The system is based on standard parts DIN 580 (lifting eye bolts) and DIN 582 (lifting eye nuts), whose load-bearing capacities are specified in graduated sizes. The product range also includes rotatable versions (GN 581, GN 581.5, GN 583), which allow for optimal force direction thanks to their special design, thereby providing greater flexibility and safety. You can find the load capacities for all the products listed directly in the technical specifications on the product page. For example, the load-bearing capacity of an M12 lifting eye bolt DIN 580 in steel version is 0.34 t.

• Each size/variant has a specified load capacity, tailored to the thread and material.
• These values apply only when the screw is fully tightened, fits properly, and is used as intended.
• Rotatable models offer greater safety under varying loads thanks to their adjustable force directions.

Select the appropriate load-bearing element based on the load case to avoid risks associated with overloading. This is especially true for applications in which heavier components or assemblies must be moved reliably and in compliance with standards.

Marking and safety of connecting devices

The labeling of lifting eye bolts and lifting eye nuts complies with current standards and ensures maximum safety:
