RUD Lifting Points Short catalogue

Product catalog summary
Product Features:
The lifting points are designed for rotating and turning loads, equipped with ball bearings for smooth movement but not for continuous rotation under load. They have a safety factor (e.g., 4:1) and are electromagnetically crack-tested. These points can be loaded from all directions and have a retaining spring to hold positions, reducing noise and aiding in painting. They rotate 360° but are not meant for load-bearing rotation. Various thread types and lengths are available, with specified operating temperatures for optimal performance.
ICE-Bolt Technology:
The ICE-Bolt offers higher working load limits (WLL) with smaller diameters, providing unmatched safety factors and resistance to extreme temperatures. It enhances breaking force and bending strength, making it superior to traditional bolts.
RUD BLUE-ID System:
This system includes RFID transponders for easy product identification and management, reducing inspection costs and errors. It supports offline inspections and integrates with cloud-based software for documentation.

RBG / VRBG:
These load rings provide split force introduction and can pivot through 180°. They are designed for high WLL and are certified by DGUV.
INOX-STAR:
A stainless steel eye bolt that is rotatable through 360° and resistant to harsh environments. It features a penta shape for easy identification and is suitable for all-side loading.
Weldable Lifting Points:
The document also includes an overview of weldable lifting points, highlighting their safety features, temperature resistance, and compliance with safety standards.
Product Overview:
The document provides detailed specifications and features of various RUD lifting and welding products, including VLBS, VRBS, VRBK, W-ABA, VABH-W, VCGH-S, and WPP series. These products are designed for safe lifting, moving, and securing loads with features like pivoting suspension rings, clamping springs, and patented wear markings.

  • VRBS-FIX: Offers a wide Working Load Limit (WLL) range from 4t to 100t, with a 180° pivoting suspension ring and patented wear markings.
  • VRBK-FIX: Features a 270° pivoting suspension ring and a large WLL range from 4t to 50t.
  • W-ABA: Provides 4-times safety against breakage, with a large WLL range from 0.8t to 31.5t.
  • VABH-W / VCGH-S: Designed for use with trusses and beams, offering a robust forged safety latch and a large WLL range from 1.5t to 20t.
  • WPP-S / -B / -VIP: Offers 360° rotation and 230° pivoting, with a WLL range from 0.63t to 8t.
Certifications and Testing:
All products are tested and certified by DGUV, meeting specific test criteria such as GS-OA-15-04 and GS-HM-36.
Additional Features:
  • Patented wear markings for easy determination of wear.
  • HY welding seam to prevent rusting and corrosion.

ICE-BOLT – THE NEW BOLT CLASS FOR LIFTING POINTS. FROM THE CHAIN TO THE BOLT. When it comes to materials for lifting means or lifting points, RUD has always been one step ahead of its time. RUD’s specialists developed the well-known ICE-chain a few years ago. Thanks to the “Innovative Chain Evolution”, an ICE-lifting or lashing chain can now replace a grade 8 chain of the next larger nominal thickness. The advantage: The dead weight of the pink-coloured chain is more than 30 percent lower, the working ergonomics are noticeably higher. HIGH SAFETY EVEN AT LOW TEMPERATURES AND EXTREMELY HIGH TEMPERATURES....

THE ICE-BOLT: HIGHER WLL WITH SMALLER BOLT DIAMETERS. After intensive development work, the RUD engineers succeeded in transferring the innovative ICE-material to the fastening bolts of the RUD lifting points: The ICE-Bolt was born. After all, the patented fine-grained steel of the ICE-chain is virtually p redestined to meet the high safety requirements in lifting technology. For example, the breaking forces of M8–M16 could be increased by 88 % compared to 8.8 bolts and by 44 % compared to 10.9 bolts. This allows an M24 ICE-Bolt to be used instead of an M30-8.8 bolt. And this with at least the...
