To complete your lifting system, explore our range of Eye Bolts, Lifting Equipment & Chain, Wire & Rope for compatible lifting components.

What Are Austlift G80 Eye Nuts?

Austlift G80 Eye Nuts are purpose-built threaded lifting attachments that create a secure lifting point when fitted to compatible threaded studs or bolts. Manufactured from Grade 80 alloy steel, they're designed specifically for lifting & rigging applications where strength, reliability & safety are critical.

Unlike standard nuts, G80 eye nuts are engineered for lifting applications & should always be selected according to the required Working Load Limit (WLL), thread compatibility, lifting direction & installation method.

These eye nuts are commonly connected to chain slings, crane hooks, lifting assemblies, threaded lifting points, rigging hardware & engineered lifting systems across a wide range of industrial environments.

Typical industries include:

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