Step Bolts

Similar to carriage bolts in that they both have a square shoulder and a larger bearing surface. Step bolts, however, have a larger and lower profile with a round head, creating a smooth surface and resist rotation. It also makes it more difficult pull through soft materials. They are commonly used in structural applications such as utility poles, ladders, manhole steps, and decking, where secure footing and safety are critical. Their design ensures even load distribution and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for outdoor and construction environments.
