Designed for professional use, these genuine Austlift eye bolts are trusted by engineering workshops, manufacturing facilities, construction contractors, mining operations, transport fleets & agricultural businesses. Whether you're replacing worn lifting hardware or specifying components for a new project, you'll also find compatible solutions across our Eye Bolts, Lifting Equipment & Chain, Wire & Rope collections.

What Are Austlift BS529 Eye Bolts?

Austlift BS529 eye bolts are purpose-built lifting attachments designed to create a secure threaded lifting point on machinery, fabricated components, pumps, motors, gearboxes & other industrial equipment. Manufactured using British Standard Whitworth (BSW) threads, they provide a safe connection point for chain slings, wire rope slings, shackles, crane hooks & other lifting accessories.

Unlike standard fasteners, lifting eye bolts are engineered specifically for lifting applications &  should always be selected according to the required Working Load Limit (WLL), thread compatibility & lifting direction.

The zinc-plated finish offers improved corrosion resistance for workshop, manufacturing & construction environments while maintaining the durability expected from professional lifting hardware.

These eye bolts are commonly used across:

► Engineering & fabrication
► Manufacturing
► Mining & resources
► Agriculture
► Construction
► Water & utilities
► Transport & logistics
► Industrial maintenance

Expert Tips

Safe lifting starts before the load leaves the ground.

► Ensure the eye bolt is fully seated before lifting.
► Never exceed the specified Working Load Limit.
► Avoid side loading unless approved by the manufacturer.
► Replace lifting hardware showing signs of damage or deformation.
► Include lifting equipment within your regular inspection schedule.
