The H-Lift DIN 580 Eye Bolt is a robust C15E carbon steel lifting point manufactured to German DIN 580 standards. Designed for permanent mounting on machinery and motors, this forged eye bolt is optimized for vertical axial lifting but can handle limited angular loads when properly de-rated.
H-Lift DIN 580 Lifting Eye Bolts are the global standard for metric lifting points. Forged from high-quality C15 or C15E carbon steel, these eye bolts are designed for general lifting purposes, providing a secure anchor point for rigging hardware. They feature a reinforced shoulder that allows for angular lifting when properly seated.
Manufactured strictly to DIN 580 specifications, ensuring consistent quality, dimensional accuracy, and load ratings for industrial use.
Forged from C15 or C15E (enhanced) carbon steel, offering superior grain structure and impact resistance compared to standard casting.
Designed with a minimum breaking load of 6 times the Working Load Limit (WLL), providing a high margin of safety for overhead lifting.
Stocked in a comprehensive range of Metric coarse threads from M6 to M64, with WLLs ranging from 0.08 tons to 16 tons.
Q: Can DIN 580 eye bolts be used for angular lifting?
A: Yes, they can handle angular loads (up to 45°), provided the shoulder is firmly tightened flush against the mating surface. However, the Working Load Limit (WLL) must be reduced significantly for angular lifts.
Q: What is the difference between C15 and C15E material?
A: C15 is standard carbon steel. C15E is a fine-grained carbon steel with improved toughness and impact resistance (normalized), often preferred for safety-critical lifting points.

Types, Installation, Safety & Working Load Limits
An eye bolt is a mechanical fastener with a threaded shaft and a loop (eye) at one end. It is designed to be screwed into a structure or equipment to provide a secure lifting point or a tie-down point.
Eye bolts are critical components in rigging operations, allowing wire ropes, shackles, or cables to be attached to loads such as motors, containers, mold plates, and machinery for lifting, tensioning, or securing.
Choosing the correct pattern is crucial for safety. The two most common types are:
Features: Has a "shoulder" or "collar" between the eye and the threaded shank.
Use: Essential for angular lifting (lifting at an angle). The shoulder presses against the mating surface to support the bolt and prevent bending.
Features: No shoulder; the thread transitions directly to the eye.
Use: Designed strictly for vertical lifting only (in line with the bolt axis).
Features: Designed to be passed through a hole and secured with a nut on the other side.
Use: Typically used when there is no pre-tapped hole available, such as through a beam or a post.
Features: Has a coarse lag screw thread and a sharp point.
Use: Designed for screwing into wood or light duty anchors. Not for heavy machinery lifting.
For Machinery Eye Bolts (Shoulder Pattern), the shoulder must sit completely flush and firm against the mating surface. If there is a gap, the bolt is acting as a lever and is significantly weaker.
Lifting at an angle significantly reduces the Working Load Limit (WLL) of an eye bolt. Plain pattern eye bolts must NEVER be used for angular lifts.
When lifting at an angle, you must de-rate the bolt's capacity. Standard carbon steel eye bolts generally follow these guidelines:
| Direction of Pull | Angle (from Vertical) | Remaining Capacity (% of WLL) |
|---|---|---|
| Vertical Pull | 0° | 100% WLL |
| Slight Angle | 1° – 15° | 55% - 80% WLL (Check Mfr Specs) |
| Standard Angular Lift | 16° – 45° | 25% - 30% WLL |
| Extreme Angle | > 45° | NOT RECOMMENDED (Use Swivel Hoist Ring) |
*Note: Always consult the specific manufacturer's load chart, as values can vary by brand and material (e.g., DIN 580 vs. ASTM A489).
