What are elevator bolts?
Elevator bolts are specialized threaded fasteners designed specifically for elevators and conveyor belt systems. As the name implies, they are used in installations where rolling steps or rolling stairs need to be securely mounted together, such as between two floors of an elevator or stairway. But, they are now used in a wide range of applications.
What is the difference between elevator bolts and carriage bolts?
The main difference between an elevator bolt and a carriage bolt is in their shape. Elevator bolts have round, flat heads while carriage bolts have domed, oval-shaped heads. While both bolts are designed to resist loosening due to vibration or shock, the shape of the head in an elevator bolt provides additional resistance to having it come loose with repeated forces. Carriage bolts also require a pre-drilled hole for installation whereas elevator bolts can be driven into wood without drilling a pilot hole first.
Why are they called Elevator Bolts?
They were originally used in elevator operations. However, they are now used in a wide range of applications from woodworking to automotive uses, and even used in the making of furniture.
