Eye bolt and load ring Hasco's new line of rotatable eye bolts and load rings are for lifting and transporting injection molds. The Z725 eye bolt's patented locking design allows it to be attached and removed without tools. It can be rotated 360 degrees and can be easily tightened and aligned by hand as needed. The eye bolt is especially suited for applications that require frequent attachment and removal. The Z715 load ring has a patented spring that allows the shackle to be secured in any position. Both are available from stock in metric thread sizes M8-M30. The load ring comes in load capacities from 660 pounds to 6.6 tons; the eye bolt comes in load capacities from 1.1 tons to 13.2 tons.
