RUD Lifting Points
RUD lifting systems guarantee safety when lifting and moving loads. Over 550 different innovative tested lifting/lashing points (welded or bolted) meet the highest demands in all areas of application of future-oriented lashing and lifting equipment.
The demand for loads to be turned swiveled and twisted during the handling process of a project has certainly increased over the years. Loads can easily be damaged and lifting systems can be considerably overloaded. Mould and die manufacturers are prime examples of this when moulds or dies must be flipped the lifting points they use need to swivel and pivot at the same time.
RUD knows how important it is to offer an ultimate safety factor through their lifting points which they have done through our PowerPoint Star. The PowerPoint Star is an extremely robust lifting point which has the ability to pivot in any direction, allowing the lifting and turning of goods to run smoothly, as well as reducing costs to damaged tools. It offers a unique double ball bearing system that provides a smooth and efficient swivel action when turning loads and is operational to temperatures as low as -40 degrees.

NEW RUD ACP TURNADO Hoist Ring
The world’s first smart lifting point
Currently, with many conventional lifting points, the lifting ring can sometimes stay in an upright position throughout the lift, which leads to a dangerous transverse load and can result in two scenarios.
Firstly, high sheer stresses and bending moments can affect the lifting point and bolt which can consequently result in mechanical damage or breakage. Secondly, high forces can occur when the lifting ring flips or jerks which would make the load drop suddenly and could damage the load and lifting components.
The NEW RUD ACP TURNADO hoist ring turns the lifting ring into the direction of the best lifting angle. Therefore the lifting ring will move freely into the direction of the pull, avoiding any tilting or unintentional reverting of the lifting ring.
Developed by RUD engineering team, the hoist ring truly offers more. The shape has been enhanced and strengthened in its most stressed areas. It offers an increased working load limit of up to 30% compared to hoist rings of the same size. The hoist ring also comes with RUD ICE-Bolt technology which offers steel with maximum strength and high ductility.
It's unique spring mechanism guides the lifting ring automatically into the direction of the best lifting angle and avoids worst-case lifting scenarios. Wear indicators, positioned at the critical points of the lifting angle make it easy to identify the wear on the lifting point upon inspection.
Hoist rings are well known for their tendency to kink. Our new RUD ACP-TURNADO eliminates these dangers completely. The intelligent spring mechanism makes sure that the suspension ring turns into the load force direction. The lifting ring design guarantees a safe position of the hook without kinking. The result is the first hoist ring which ensures no kinking.
The RUD ACP-TURNADO comes with a factory-equipped RFID transponder which allows quick and easy management and inspections of your lifting equipment, helping to ensure that your equipment is inspected on time, every time.
The NEW RUD ACP-TURNADO sets the standard. More than just another centre-pull hoist ring.
