Many different construction fasteners require some type of bend. These bolts can include right angle anchor bolts which require a 90⁰ bend, U-bolts which require a 180⁰ bend, and eye bolts which require a full 360⁰ bend. Engineers also specify a variety of nonstandard bent bolts, and Portland Bolt has the equipment and expertise to make them.
