The new EZ Lift Eyebolt was developed in response to utility customers’ requests for an innovative way to lower their costs in the field and to reduce liability exposures that are associated with the lifting practices and devices currently in use. The unique bolt lifts the unit by the beam. By providing a single point for lift, the EZ Lift Eyebolt eliminates the need for slings and spreader bars, permits easier lifts in tight installations, and enables safer and faster installation of overhead transformers.
