What is the correct use of eyebolts in lifting scenarios?

The correct use of eyebolts in lifting scenarios is when they are installed with a nut. This ensures that the eyebolt is securely fastened to the structure or object being lifted. When properly installed with a nut, the eyebolt achieves maximum strength and prevents it from loosening under load, which is crucial for safety during lifting operations. Eyebolts are designed to be load-rated based on their installation method. When the nut is used, it creates a secure connection that allows the eyebolt to handle the intended load effectively.

In lifting scenarios, other methods of using eyebolts, such as using them only for vertical lifting or placing them horizontally, do not maximize their intended function and safety. Additionally, while eyebolts can serve multiple purposes, including anchoring, they should not be limited to that use alone without considering their capability in lifting when properly installed.
