Ferry Head Bolts, also known as 12-Point Flange Bolts, feature a 12-point head combined with an integrated flange. The multi-point head provides multiple contact positions for a suitable 12-point socket, while the flange creates a wider bearing surface against the fastening area.
The integrated flange can distribute clamping pressure over a larger surface area and may eliminate the need for a separate washer in suitable applications. Ferry Head Bolts are commonly selected for high-strength fastening and heavy-duty applications, including earth-moving equipment, turbines, windmills, and marine equipment.
Adore Industries manufactures and supplies Ferry Head Bolts in different sizes, materials, thread configurations, and surface finishes for demanding industrial applications.

12-Point Head & Flange Design
The 12-point head provides multiple engagement positions for a compatible 12-point socket, making it suitable for applications where controlled torque application is required.
The integrated flange increases the bearing area beneath the head and helps distribute the clamping load across the fastening surface. This design can eliminate the need for a separate washer where the application and specifications permit.
Installation & Dimensions
Ferry Head Bolts are installed using a suitable 12-point wrench or socket that matches the bolt head dimensions.
For dimensional identification:
- Head Height: Measured including the flange
- Bolt Length: Measured from underneath the flange
- Socket: Suitable 12-point socket matched to the head size
The correct bolt size, grade, socket, and installation torque should be selected according to the applicable specification and application requirements.
