Product description
The VRS eye bolt with a 20,000kg working load limit and M64x96mm thread is a heavy-duty swivel lifting point engineered for the most demanding industrial lifting applications. It is designed for use in heavy engineering, construction, transport, offshore and manufacturing environments where very high load capacity, controlled rotation and precise load alignment are critical.
Unlike conventional DIN 580 eye bolts, the VRS features a distinctive star-shaped body and a fully rotatable load ring that aligns automatically with the direction of force. The load ring rotates freely through 360° and pivots through 180°, allowing the full working load limit to be utilised in any pull direction. This design eliminates the risk of side loading, bending stresses or incorrect load application, even under complex lifting conditions.
Manufactured from high-strength forged alloy steel (material 1.6541) and tempered for durability, the VRS eye bolt is 100% electro-magnetic crack-tested in accordance with DIN EN 1677-1. The integrated captive hexagon socket screw allows secure installation into threaded holes, provided the mounting material is at least St37 and the thread bore is countersunk to the nominal thread diameter. Once installed, the lifting point must rotate freely through 360° to ensure correct and safe operation.
Finished in RUD’s fluorescent pink powder coating, the eye bolt provides excellent corrosion resistance and high visibility in harsh industrial environments. The working load limit is clearly marked for all load directions, supporting correct product selection and improving operational safety. With a safety factor of 4 and suitability for operation at temperatures down to -40°C, the VRS eye bolt delivers reliable performance under extreme working conditions.
Compatible with lifting slings, chains and hooks, the 20,000kg VRS eye bolt is ideal for lifting and positioning heavy machinery, structural components and large assemblies where controlled rotation and directional load control are essential. When used in accordance with applicable standards, inspection requirements and site safety procedures, it supports safe and efficient lifting operations in professional industrial environments.
