Inspection on the object to be lifted:

The installation must be carried by a competent person. Eyebolts must be 

operated in compliance with the 2006/42/CE standard (new machinery 

directive) with following adjustments.
1.  Check eyebolts’ location to assure the load be evenly distributed to 

each eyebolt.

2.  If the load is asymmetric, increase the eyebolt size or have engineer to 

design the lifting points if it is needed.

3.  Check object material. The minimum depth of the threaded hole must 

be achieved. Factor of depth to diameter of the eyebolt is as following 

and a longer bolt is needed if the factor is over 1.
•  Steel/Stainless Steel – 1
•  Cast iron – 1.25
•  Aluminum alloy – 2
•  Aluminium magnesium alloy – 2.5

4. The material of the object matched with the lifting eyebolt must have a 

tractive resistance equal or over the standard tractive resistance of steel 

in EN 10025 S235JR.

5.  The thread must be perpendicular to the surface of the object being lifted.
6.  Eyebolt should be tightened with a torque wrench as to the below chart.

USER INSTRUCTIONS

Inspection on eyebolts:

All liftings eyebolts shall have a regular inspection and it shall be recorded 

with following information.
1.  Visual inspection for corrosion, crack and other deformations. Marking 

should be clearly visible.

2.  Check threads worn by thread gauge for old eyebolts. The designed 

thread tolerance is 6g, worn threads will affect WLL.

3.  The load to be lifted must not exceed the working load limit.
4. Check for excessive wear on the bearing 

area of the eye; it must not be used if the 

diameter of the bearing area has wear of ≥ 5%, 

compared to the original size.

5.  After the eyebolt is fixed in object, check the 

eye movement to make sure it can rotate 

freely,  and  it  can  swivel  in  specified  angle 

range.
