Lifting points are often used for turning, rotating and tilting
which adds a considerable risk to the lift. When lifts are turned
under full load it results in high friction between the bolt head
and the rotating connecting element, which subsequently
can lead to the opening of the bolt mid lift which can occur
with DIN 580 / standard eye bolts. However this does not happen with
the new RUD VLBG plus.
and holds the suspension ring in the requested position.
A clear marking of the minimum working load limit for all loading
directions is also highlighted on the load ring.
The VLBG Plus bolt offers a considerable safety feature to the operator
and equipment being lifted; it will stay firmly fastened under full loads,
vertically or horizontally. The ICE-Bolt is quick and easy to install and
assembly is possible with a flat/ ring wrench or Allen key. Complex lifts where the load has to be manoeuvred and tilted in all
directions can be safely and effectively done with the use of the VLBG-
Plus load ring. The VLBG Plus can be used across a variety of working
environments from engineering, construction, rail, offshore, handling
and MOD projects to name a few.
The VLBG plus offers an impressive 45% higher working load limit (M8-
M30) compared to the VLBG. It rotates 360º and the suspension ring
pivots 180º. The clamping spring works as a noise reduction function For more information please call 01227 276 611
