Elevator bolts get their name from being used in grain elevators and other conveyor systems. They come with a large diameter flat head and a square neck, which create a large bearing surface that keeps the head from puncturing soft conveyor belts. KD Fasteners, Inc.® supplies elevator bolts in steel and stainless steel, in both inch and metric sizes.
