When you’re ordering bolts, whether for a massive infrastructure project or something more modest, there are always critical questions to ask. I’ve witnessed clients grapple with these same concerns over the years, and I’m here to guide you through them. Let’s delve into it.
1. How Do I Determine the Correct Bolt Size and Grade?
This is probably the most common question I get. The size and grade of a bolt depend on your application. Typically, you need to consider tensile strength, environmental factors, and the load-bearing capacity required for your project. For structural work, you might need a higher-grade bolt like A325 or A490 for added strength.
If you’re unsure, always consult engineering specifications or contact us for expert advice. We can help you choose the best bolt for your specific needs.
2. What Is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for Bolts?
Ah, the famous MOQ! For our standard bolts, the MOQ usually starts at 5,000 pieces per size. Why so high, you ask? It’s simply because we focus on bulk production, ensuring that you get the best prices and economies of scale. However, if you have a special requirement or need fewer, reach out, and we’ll see what we can do.
3. Can I Customize the Bolt Material and Coating?
Absolutely! We pride ourselves on offering custom solutions for all our clients. You can customize everything from the material, whether it’s stainless steel, carbon steel, or even exotic alloys, to the surface coating. We provide options like hot-dip galvanizing, zinc plating, and more, depending on the level of corrosion resistance you need.
4. What Certifications or Standards Do Your Bolts Comply With?
We know standards are non-negotiable, and at Hengrui, our bolts comply with a range of international standards, including DIN, ISO, IFI, AS, BS, EN, GOST, JIS, NF. Not sure which certification you need? No worries—just ask, and we’ll ensure you’re covered.

5. What Are the Available Corrosion-Resistant Surface Treatments?
Good question! Corrosion resistance is crucial, especially if your bolts will be exposed to the elements. We offer various surface treatments, including hot-dip galvanizing, Dacromet, Geomet, and Magni coatings. These coatings extend the lifespan of your bolts, ensuring they hold up in tough environments like coastal areas or industrial zones.
6. How Long Does It Take to Produce and Deliver the Bolts?
This depends on the order size and the customization required. For standard bolts, it typically takes around 4 to 6 weeks for production and delivery. For custom bolts, it might take a bit longer. If you’re on a tight schedule, let us know! We’ll work closely with you to make sure your project stays on track.
7. Can I Order Non-Standard or Custom Bolts?
Yes, you can! We specialize in non-standard bolts and are happy to work from your designs or specifications. Whether you need something special for machinery, industrial equipment, or a unique project, we’ve got the expertise to manufacture what you need.
