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...
