Our glue in bolt heavy duty is one of the highest quality in our entire range. This model has the following unbeatable features.
Firstly, it is made of 12mm stainless steel wire, which is bent. This is considerably thicker than the usual 8mm diameter. Secondly, this results in a shaft measuring 13 x 22 mm and a design without a load-bearing weld seam. This also means that corrosion has no surface to attack.
Thirdly, the oval shaft with its thread ensures an extremely tight fit.
And fourthly, we have given our glue in bolt a large eyelet shape so that large objects such as 2 carabiners or a thimble for a steel cable can easily fit inside.
Finally, this hook is given the SURFACE treatment. This is a double passivation. Or to put it better. This stainless steel composite hook has an extra thick anti-corrosion coating for an extremely long service life.
We recommend this product for all situations where very high loads need to be secured.
In addition, the extremely high quality of this hook makes it a veritable alternative to bolting near the sea when it comes to single, massive fixed points. For example, for longlines, abseiling points, etc…

High-quality AISI 316L steel
This stainless steel glue in bolt is made from high-quality AISI 316L. I.e. A4 steel with a very low carbon content. Are you interested in this topic?
Then read our bolting blog post“Steel qualities at expansion bolt and glue in bolt” through.
This quality is currently the standard in the Alpine region. The SURFACE treatment further enhances this high-quality steel!
SURFACE TREATMENT = Longlife
Like all Vertical Evolution products, this glue in bolt heavy duty has the high-quality SURFACE TREATMENT. This is a double passivation. In simple terms, this means two acid baths so that an extra thick anti-oxidation layer forms on the outer layer.
At Raumer, for example, this finish is called “Marine Treatment” and costs about 30% extra. Other manufacturers do not offer this treatment as standard. We supply this “Longlife” feature as standard at an attractive standard price or at a low surcharge!
glue in bolt Heavy load without load-bearing weld seam
Did you know that a weld seam can be a “weak point”? Because if not done properly, corrosion can start here. Air can become trapped, metal contamination can occur, etc…
This is why products made from bent steel wire are the highest quality solution. This is because only a small welding point is set here so that the hook no longer opens after pressing. The spot itself has no effect on the holding force.
As a result – compared to welded hooks – corrosion cannot start anywhere. In particular, stress corrosion cracking near the sea, as explained in the UIAA report 2020, is prevented.
This is precisely why our hook is a veritable alternative for fixed points near the sea!
12mm steel wire = 13 x 22mm shaft = 24mm drilling hole
The high quality of this stainless steel glue in bolt is also due to its 12 mm thick steel wire and the resulting 13 x 22 mm shaft. This is because it has an extremely tight form fit and is therefore particularly well protected against axial twisting.
Nevertheless, we recommend always drilling out the channel for the eyelet on the side of the rock when settingglue in bolt . The eyelet can then be additionally glued here. This is the perfect way to counteract axial twisting.
However, the large oval shaft comes with a disadvantage. A 24mm drilling hole must be drilled. Consequently, the installation takes longer. Secondly, more battery is needed. And thirdly, you need more injection mortar.
In short. This is a product for anyone who doesn’t want to miss out on the sustainable attachment of very heavy loads.
glue in bolt Heavy duty with two lengths
This hook is available in two lengths at bolting.eu. This means you always have the right product to choose from, depending on rock quality or rock type.
100mm length
This standard length is perfect for all very solid rock types. Such as granite, slate or compact limestone.
150mm length
This length is intended for very soft rock or holey conglomerate. This is because the mixture of radial and axial force should be perfectly distributed by the long shaft. This prevents the rock from breaking or even tearing out, even in sandstone, for example.
Areas of application
The hook is ideal for these applications:
- Fastening small wire rope bridges
- Ground fixings for summit crosses
- Flying Fox fixed points
- Zip lines
- High-frequency abseiling points
- individual fixed points close to the sea (if you want to make it even higher quality you need HCR or titanium!)
- Highlines
- Tensioning rockfall nets
- etc.
