Secure Threaded Lifting Points for Safe Industrial Lifting

When lifting machinery, fabricated steelwork or industrial equipment, selecting the correct lifting point is critical for maintaining safe, efficient operations. Austlift BS529 Zinc Eye Bolts are manufactured to the BS529 specification with British Standard Whitworth (BSW) threads, providing dependable threaded lifting points for maintenance, installation, fabrication & material handling applications throughout Australia.

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
