RUD Lashing Means and Lashing Points

Product catalog summary
Product Features:
The document describes lifting points designed for rotating and turning loads, equipped with ball bearings but not suitable for continuous turning under load. They have a safety design factor, are electromagnetically crack-tested, and can be loaded from all sides. These points can rotate 360° but not under load. Various thread types are available, and the operating temperature range is specified. Products include ICE-Bolt and RFID chips for easy testing and documentation, approved by DGUV and DNVGL, and meet ASME standards.
Practical Knowledge:
Sections cover load securing in road transport, heavy haulage, and cases with missing lashing points. It includes tie-down and diagonal lashing techniques, selecting the correct lashing chain, and information about the ICE-Lashing Chain and ICE-CURT Ratchet Tensioner. Tips for skip loaders and useful information for designers are also provided.
Lashing Points:
Various lashing points are detailed, including weldable and boltable options with LC identification. Products like LPW-U, LRBS-FIX, LRBK-FIX, L-ABA, SLP, L-VLBG-PLUS, OPTILASH-FIX, and OPTILASH-CLICK are described.
Regulations and Cross-Selling:
Comparison of regulations for lashing chains and cross-selling opportunities are discussed.
RUD Overview:
RUD emphasizes quality, innovation, and customer orientation. The company has a history of setting industry standards and offers global sales and service networks. RUD products are known for their high strength, reduced weight, and improved ergonomics.
RUD Blue-ID System:
This system uses RFID technology for product identification, reducing inspection costs and improving process security. It includes a cloud-based software solution for documentation and maintenance of test data.
Technological Innovations:
RUD has developed various innovative products and systems, including the RUD app for lashing means calculation, which provides recommendations for load securing based on specific parameters.
Specifications and Calculations:
The document provides detailed calculations for determining the optimal angles (α and β) for lashing chains to ensure safe load securing. It emphasizes maintaining angle β between 20° and 45° to avoid excessive load during cornering or braking. The optimal angle α for power generation is between 0° and 30°. Calculations demonstrate the impact of these angles on lashing capacity (LC), with examples showing how unfavorable angles can drastically increase the load on lashing equipment.
Standards and Requirements:
The document references EN 12195-3, a European standard that sets minimum requirements for lashing equipment, including quality, permissible lashing capacity, and labeling. It highlights that many conventional lashing chains do not meet these standards, particularly those with inadequate tensioners and shortening elements.
Lashing Chain Selection:
Guidelines for selecting the correct lashing chain are provided, with examples illustrating the advantages of ICE-Lashing chains over standard grade 8 chains. ICE chains offer higher lashing capacity, reduced weight, and improved durability, making them more efficient and safer for load securing.
ICE-Lashing Chain Features:
ICE-Lashing chains are highlighted for their superior strength, reduced weight, and enhanced handling. They are designed to exceed EN 12195-3 requirements, offering features like anti-theft protection, easy handling, and improved ergonomics. The document also details the benefits of the ICE-CURT ratchet tensioner, which includes a magnetic locking device and is designed for ease of use.
Design Considerations for Lashing Points:
The document outlines practical design principles for lashing points, emphasizing accessibility, compatibility with lashing hooks, and the ability to maintain reasonable lashing angles. It stresses the importance of clearly marked lashing points with sufficient tensile force and the ability to withstand expected loading directions.
Guidelines for Load Securing:
It is noted that load securing is also a responsibility of designers, with references to relevant laws and technical guidelines, including the Machine Directive 2006/42/EC.
Specifications and Standards:
The document outlines various European and German regulations and standards that govern the safety and transport of machinery and cargo. Key standards include EN 474-1 for earth-moving machinery, VDI 2700-13 for load securing, DGUV Regulation 70 for vehicle lashing points, and ISO 15818 for lifting and lashing points. These standards ensure that machinery is safe to handle and transport, and that cargo is secured according to recognized engineering rules.
Load Securing Recommendations:
It is emphasized that lifting points, often used for lashing, are not marked with permissible tensile force but with their working load limit (WLL). RUD lashing points, which are high-strength and tested, are recommended for meeting practical requirements. The document advises on the use of diagonal lashing methods like V, X, or trapezoidal lashing for optimal load securing.
RUD Lashing Points and Chains:
RUD offers a range of weldable and boltable lashing points made from high-quality alloy steel. These points can be retrofitted by certified welders. RUD also provides various lashing chains, including ICE-Lashing chains, which offer higher permissible lashing capacity and better ergonomics compared to grade 8 chains. The document includes detailed specifications for different chain types and their components.
Technical Data and Tools:
RUD provides downloadable geometry data for CAD design and free load securing calculation programs available as apps. The document includes tables with specifications for lashing chains, ratchet tensioners, and individual components, highlighting their lashing capacity, weight, and dimensions.
Design and Safety Considerations:
The document stresses the importance of using tested lashing points suitable for the load and provides examples of lashing solutions for skip loaders. It also discusses the benefits of using RUD products to avoid fines for inadequately secured loads and to enhance safety in traffic.
Product Overview:
The document provides detailed specifications and features of various lashing and lifting products by RUD, including SLP, L-VLBG-PLUS, OPTILASH-FIX, and OPTILASH-CLICK. These products are designed for secure load handling with features like rotatability, pivotability, and corrosion protection.
Specifications:
- SLP: Permissible lashing capacity of 10,000 daN, weight 3.75 kg/unit, with dimensions provided for installation.
- L-VLBG-PLUS: Permissible lashing force of 16,000 daN, weight 6.2 kg/unit, rotatable 360° and pivotable 180°, with corrosion-protected bolts.
- OPTILASH-FIX: Permissible lashing capacity of 10,000 daN, weight 1.93 kg/unit, designed for flat lashing angles and easy replacement.
- OPTILASH-CLICK: Similar to OPTILASH-FIX but includes a spring bolt for easy installation and replacement.
Standards and Regulations:
The document compares pre-2001 standards with EN 12195-3 and GRADE ICE-120, highlighting improvements in chain grade, minimum break force, test load, and clamping elements. It emphasizes the importance of robust guards and clear identification of lashing chains.
Additional Features:
- RUD offers a range of lifting points and chains, including the ICE-MINI for lighter loads and the ICE-BOLT for higher safety factors.
- The document mentions RUD's commitment to customer support through seminars, expert dialogue, and a 3D lifting means configurator.
