We can define eyebolts as the point of connection between the load and the lifting system as a whole. Composed of a base and a ring, eyebolts are installed to the load at one side, and connected to the hook, itself secured to the ropes, at the other: it is clear that such a component is critical to the quality of the lifting system as a whole.
Depending on the application, eyebolts may be designed to be screwed into or welded to the load, and on horizontal or vertical surfaces: for the latter, it is clear that they must be able to function optimally even when under strain at a sharp angle. It is precisely here that we encounter problems: when working with asymmetrical loads, the working load limit is significantly reduced, which reduces the effectiveness of the lifting system itself.
Revolving eyebolts are the answer to the problem: since they align themselves with the load, they perform much better in such situations than fixed eyebolts.
Revolving eyebolts: a simple way to maximise safety when lifting loads
Lifting systems are composed of a number of components used to handle loads of every possible shape and size: eyebolts are among these, accessories which install to the load on one side and to the hook (and hence the rope or chain) on the other. Revolving eyebolts, once installed to the load, provide a safe attachment point for all handling and lifting operations.

Eyebolts connect the load to the lifting system: revolving eyebolts make this easier and safer
Revolving eyebolts as part of the culture of uncompromising safety
Safety is key to every job - and even more so in critical applications like lifting
Using revolving eyebolts, as we have seen, increase the performance of the entire lifting system. Choosing one accessory rather than another can radically change the performance of the system as a whole: this is why it is so important not just to know what to use, but also how to use it to get the best results in terms of performance and safety.
Knowing what to use and how to use it: choosing a single component, like a revolving eyebolt instead of a fixed one, can radically change the performance of the lifting system. This is why we place great weight on training our clients
Safety is always a core concern: it is always important in all industrial and working applications in general. But it is all the more so when we are dealing with critical jobs like lifting and handling. Stamperia Carcano S.p.a., under its CARTEC brand, offers top quality, tightly controlled products with high performance, but that's not all: we are constantly engaged in training the users of our products, to enable them to determine the best and safest lifting solution for their needs.
