Manufacturer's data
- Drop forged.
Choosing a size
The WLL is for a straight pull along the thread axis. A fully seated shoulder eye takes an angled pull at a reduced rating; a plain eye is for vertical loads only. Screw it fully home into a sound thread of adequate length.
Ordering
Quote the Indus part number from the size table, or send the size and rating you need. Each consignment ships with the manufacturer's test certificate; say on the RFQ if your site needs anything more.

Size — Nominal size as the manufacturer states it. WLL — Working load limit — the most the part may carry in service, as the manufacturer rates it. C — Dimension C on the manufacturer dimension drawing. D — Dimension D on the manufacturer dimension drawing. K — Dimension K on the manufacturer dimension drawing. M — Dimension M on the manufacturer dimension drawing. Weight — Weight as the manufacturer publishes it. Ask us for the dimension drawing if you need it stamped.
WLL is the most the part may carry in service. Proof and breaking loads are test figures — never lift to them. Each load is shown in the unit the manufacturer rates the part in, and a size ships with the manufacturer’s test certificate.
