580 Galvanized Eye Nut: When it comes to lifting, rigging, or suspending heavy loads in industrial and construction environments, even the smallest hardware components, like eye nuts, carry enormous responsibility. At SSTC (Safe and Secure Trading Company), we believe that safety starts with specs, especially when it comes to crucial lifting accessories such as the 580 galvanized eye nut.
This blog provides a complete guide to understanding the 580 galvanized eye nut, including its load ratings, applications, design benefits, material advantages, and safe usage practices. Whether you’re in oil & gas, construction, marine, or manufacturing sectors in Saudi Arabia, this article will help ensure you’re making informed and responsible decisions.
What Is a 580 Galvanized Eye Nut?
The 580 galvanized eye nut is a forged steel lifting accessory designed to be threaded onto a bolt or rod and used as an attachment point for hooks, ropes, chains, or slings.
Key Specifications:
Type: Eye Nut (DIN 580 or equivalent)
Material: Drop Forged Carbon Steel
Finish: Hot-Dip Galvanized
Threading: Metric or UNC (Unified National Coarse)
Standard: DIN 580 (commonly followed in industrial supply chains)
This eye nut is designed for straight-line pulling or lifting, making it a critical component in many rigging systems used in Saudi Arabia’s industrial hubs like Riyadh, Dammam, Jeddah, and NEOM.
The 580 galvanized eye nut is used across several industries where safety and reliability are non-negotiable:
Oil & Gas Sector (e.g., Aramco Sites)
Used in hoisting equipment, manifolds, and modular units.
Construction and Infrastructure
Anchored into concrete or steel structures to lift rebar cages, pre-cast segments, or heavy equipment.
Marine and Port Handling
Ideal for harsh environments due to corrosion resistance.
Power Plants & Utilities
Used for suspending and aligning transformers, panels, or cabling trays.
Manufacturing Facilities
Essential for machine lifting and positioning during installation or maintenance.
SSTC provides customized packaging and sourcing options based on industry-specific needs in Saudi Arabia.
Understanding Load Ratings – The Core of Safety
What is a Load Rating?
A load rating (also called Working Load Limit (WLL)) is the maximum safe force that a lifting component like an eye nut can withstand under normal service conditions.
For example, a M24-sized 580 galvanized eye nut might have a WLL of 2.5 tons, assuming straight-line pull and correct installation.
Load Ratings by Size (Indicative DIN 580 Specs):
Size (Thread)
Working Load Limit (WLL)
Thread Pitch
Weight (kg)
M6
0.07 Ton
1.0 mm
0.04
M10
0.23 Ton
1.5 mm
0.09
M16
0.70 Ton
2.0 mm
0.27
M20
1.20 Ton
2.5 mm
0.43
M24
2.30 Ton
3.0 mm
0.73
M30
3.50 Ton
3.5 mm
1.33
M36
5.00 Ton
4.0 mm

Compliance status
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience,
regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level.
These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible
to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific
disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML,
adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Screen-reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with
screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive
a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements,
alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website.
In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels;
descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups),
and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag
for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology.
To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on
as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
