High-Quality Custom and Standard Bent Bolts


Custom Bent Bolts: Square, J, Slant & Hook Bolts | U-Bolt-It

What are Bent Bolts?

Bent bolts are heavy-duty, versatile industrial fasteners featuring a specific bend or angle—such as U, J, L, or V shapes. They are used to anchor, suspend, or fasten heavy loads in a multitude of industries. Known for their ruggedness and corrosion resistance, custom bent bolts act as secure joints that keep heavy loads firmly in place.

Our Custom Bent Bolts

Square U-Bolts

Fastened square U-bolts act as a joint that keeps heavy loads in place. They are ideal for applications requiring a flat surface flush against a structural beam or channel. We can provide standard or custom-coated square U-bolts to meet your exact specifications.

Slant U-Bolts

A slant U-bolt is used to create a joint that connects two structural members at an angle, replacing the need for traditional angle brackets, plates, and standard bolts. Our slant U-bolts provide exceptional strength, stability, and load transfer between members.

Hook Bolts and J-Bolts

Hook bolts and J-bolts (available in round or square configurations) are important industrial fasteners used for load-bearing, roofing, structural support, and retention. They are typically manufactured for the exact size of the rail, beam, or channel they are attached to, meaning these anchor bolts vary widely in size, length, and shape.

Roof Top V-Bolts and L-Bolts

Since heavy-duty applications differ in how objects are anchored, we offer a wide variety of offset bent bolts—including roof top V-bolts and L-bolts—to ensure your project hangs squarely and securely.

Bolting vs. Welding

There is a common misconception that welding is stronger than bolting, but that simply isn't true. Bent or square U-bolts are just as strong as welding—and can be stronger in some situations, as weld strength is largely determined by the expertise of the individual welder. Furthermore, since a thicker bolt is often not as elastic as its thinner counterpart, over-sizing bent bolts does not necessarily mean a higher clamp force.

Although costs vary by project, bolted joints using square, hook, or slanted U-bolts are generally a less expensive option. The installation process flows much more efficiently, allowing U-Bolt-It to help you automate the labor-intensive process of welded joints.

Available Materials and Custom Coatings

A plain bolt is a bare metal bolt without any coating. Over time, corrosion can eat away at plain materials, compromising the bolt's strength and structural integrity. U-Bolt-It solves this by offering a wide variety of industrial materials and protective finishes.

Our stock and custom bent bolts are made to order in:

  • Steel Alloys & Carbon Steel
  • Stainless Steel Alloys (302, 304, 309, 316, 410)
  • Titanium, Brass, & Bronze
  • Inconel & Hastelloy

To provide additional protection against corrosion or to enhance appearance in harsh environments, we offer custom coatings including:

  • Zinc & Hot-Dipped Galvanized
  • Teflon® & Xylan®
  • Cadmium
  • Black Oxide
