Specifications and Safety Considerations for Lifting Points
Lifting points must be selected and installed carefully to ensure safety and efficiency. Key considerations include avoiding sharp edges, matching suspension ring diameter with hooks, and designing with four-fold protection against breakage. Eye-catching color marking is recommended.
Design Relevance
Modern lifting points should meet technological and aesthetic requirements, prompting innovations like RUD's octagon-shaped designs.
Risk Analysis
Risk analysis evaluates potential hazards in lifting operations, including force direction and magnitude during manufacturing, transport, and assembly.
Rotating and Turning Loads
Special lifting points with ball bearings are ideal for rotating and turning loads, converting lifting forces into smooth rotational movements.
Selection Criteria for Lifting Points
1. Determine the load's overall weight.
2. Decide the number of lifting points based on installation position.
3. Consider reduction factors from tilt angles and temperature influences.
4. Choose a lifting point with a Working Load Limit (WLL) exceeding the calculated weight.
Asymmetrical Loads
For asymmetrical loads, one lifting point may bear the entire load, requiring a load factor of 1.
Types of Lifting Points
  • Boltable Lifting Points: Types like VLBG-PLUS, VRS-STARPOINT, and INOX-STAR offer features such as self-alignment and high resistance.
  • Weldable Lifting Points: Types like VLBS and VRBS/VRBK are suitable for swivel capabilities and reduced noise.
Smart Lifting Point ACP-TURNADO
This lifting point prevents dangerous transverse loads by automatically aligning in the loading direction, offering higher WLL and preventing damage.
General Recommendations
Ensure proper clearance, consider load tonnage and rotation, and select the appropriate attachment method. Adhere to safety standards like DGUV rule 109-017 and the European Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
Installation of Lifting Points
Ensure forces can be absorbed by the base material without deformation. Regularly check lifting points for tight bolt fitting, corrosion, wear, cracks, and deformations. Follow supplied instructions during installation.
ICE-Bolt: The New Bolt Class for Lifting Points
The ICE-Bolt offers higher WLL with smaller diameters, unmatched safety factors, low temperature resistance, and high bending resistance.
The RUD Blue-ID System
This system uses RFID technology for equipment inspection, simplifying product identification, documentation, and management.
WLL Boltable Lifting Points
Designed for maximum safety and dynamic load cycles, with thread sizes ranging from M6 to M150.

DESIGN DOCUMENTS AND CALCULATION PROGRAMS. RUD has design documents in 2D and 3D as well as calculation programs for the solution of your lifting tasks. This is important because when calculating the correct WLL of individual lifting points, a series of factors must be taken into account, such as: ■ the number of strands to be lifted, ■ the influence of the angle conditions during the lifting process ■ the shape of the design part (symmetrical or asymmetrical). A lifting point is an important part of the lifting means system and connects the load with the crane when lifting, turning, rotating...

WHAT TYPES OF LIFTING POINTS ARE AVAILABLE? BOLTABLE LIFTING POINTS. When it comes to lifting loads, boltable lifting points are generally used. In more than 40 years of experience with lifting points, RUD has continually developed them further and decisively improved them. Boltable lifting points can be installed as necessary. If they are no longer necessary or would get in the way during the further working process, they can be removed with little effort. Due to their wide range of threads, they can be attached to almost any load. This makes them very flexible in use. RUD lifting points are...
