Product Summary

Longze High-Strength Carriage Bolts (DIN 603 / ASME B18.5) are specialized fasteners featuring a smooth, rounded head and a precision-forged square neck that prevents

rotation during tightening. Manufactured in Yongnian, China, our carriage bolts are designed for one-sided installation in timber, metal-to-wood, and solar mounting systems.

Whether for securing outdoor fencing, heavy-duty shelving, or solar panel frames, Longze carriage bolts provide the anti-theft security and sleek profile required for high-visibility structural joints.

• ✔ Integrated Anti-Rotation Square Neck: The precision-forged square section under the head locks into a pre-punched hole, allowing for secure tightening with a single wrench from the nut side.

•  

• ✔ Flush-Fit Aesthetic Head: The low-profile "Cup Head" provides a smooth surface that eliminates snagging hazards and offers a cleaner, more professional finish compared to standard hex bolts.

•  

• ✔ Heavy-Duty Corrosion Resistance: Available in both Hot Dip Galvanized (HDG) for infrastructure and SS304/SS316 for marine environments, ensuring a service life exceeding 25 years.

• Standards: DIN 603 (Metric), ASME B18.5 (Imperial / Round Head), ISO 8677.

•  

• Diameter Range: M5 to M20 | 1/4" to 3/4".

•  

• Length Range: 20 mm to 300 mm.

Avoid Pitfalls:

• Square Neck "Cam-Out": If the square neck isn't deep enough or is too tapered, it will strip the hole in soft timber. Longze uses High-Pressure Cold Heading to ensure sharp, 90° corners on every square neck.

•  

• Nut Jamming on HDG Bolts: For hot-dip galvanized carriage bolts, the zinc layer can interfere with thread tolerances. We recommend using Longze 6AZ (Oversized) Hex Nuts to guarantee a smooth, reliable fit.

•  

• The "Flat Head" Trap: Some low-quality suppliers produce heads that are too thin, causing them to pull through the material. Our heads strictly follow DIN 603 dk/k standards for maximum surface support.

•  

Perfect Fit Assembly:

• Matched Flange Nuts: Pair our 8.8 grade carriage bolts with Longze DIN 6923 Flange Nuts for a unified, high-torque joint in solar mounting structures.

•  

• Installation Tip: For timber, use a hammer to seat the square neck into the wood before tightening the nut; this prevents the bolt from spinning and damaging the hole.

•  

Quality Control & Logistics:

• ISO 9001 Certified: 5-step QC including computerized optical sorting for head and neck dimensions, thread gauge verification, and salt spray analysis.

•  

• Sea-Worthy Packaging: Bolts are packed in plastic-lined 25kg cartons, then secured in reinforced wooden crates to ensure no thread damage or flash rust during export from our Yongnian hub.

• Q: Can you provide fully-threaded carriage bolts? A: Yes, we can manufacture DIN 603 with full threads for shorter lengths or partial threads for longer structural bolts.

• Q: Do you offer ASME B18.5 in Grade 5? A: Absolutely. We supply Grade 5 (High Tensile) carriage bolts for North American infrastructure projects with UNC or UNF threads.
