Hoist Nut

Hoist Nut are key in industries that need safe overhead lifting. In construction, they’re used to secure steel beams or prefab modules. Manufacturers put them in machinery for adjusting assembly lines. Theater rigging setups use lifting eye nuts for hanging lights and stage equipment. Automotive shops lift engines or chassis with them. Marine engineers attach them to cargo containers or parts of ships. Even renewable energy projects use lifting eye nuts for maintaining wind turbines. They’re used in aerospace, mining, and emergency rescue jobs too. When doing important tasks, always use lifting eye nuts with hardware that’s rated for the same load.

Product details

Hoist Nut come in metric and imperial sizes. Thread diameters go from M8 to M64 or 1/4" to 2-1/2". Their WLL ratings change from 0.25 tons up to over 20 tons, and that depends on the material and how they’re designed. The eye diameter usually fits standard industry shackles, like 10mm to 50mm ones.

When picking them, make sure the thread pitch matches your anchor point. Coarse threads are quicker to put together, while fine threads work better if there’s vibration. You can get custom lifting eye nuts too, like ones with longer eyes or left-hand threads.

Check the manufacturer’s charts to match the size, load capacity, and what you’re using them for. Using ones that are too big or too small isn’t safe, so stick to the right specs for your job.

FAQ

Q: Can this nut be used in highly corrosive environments such as marine and outdoor?

A: Yep, our Hoist Nut are made of anti-rust materials: hot-dip galvanized steel (think heavy-duty zinc coating); stainless steel (304/316 grades) and zinc-nickel plating. Stainless steel is the preferred material for dealing with salty Marine air or chemical environments that can resist the erosion of seawater moisture and sunlight. Hot-dip galvanized ones are tough enough for outdoor construction sites.
