Hoist rings are special types of heavy-duty lifting rings used together with hoists for lifting and lowering loads. They have many applications wherever load work is involved, such as in the plastic processing, machine building, the tool and die industry, construction, and other industry sectors.
The problem with conventional centric lifting points, especially in 90-degree side load use, is that the lifting ring typically stays in the upright position during the lifting process. This often leads to what is known as the worst-case position, or dangerous transverse loading. When this happens, it can result in a number of high-risk scenarios:
These problems posed with using typical hoist rings are by no means minimal.
Simple. RUD Lifting and Lashing came up with an innovative spring mechanism that has dramatically improved the safety and efficiency provided by the RUD ACP-TURNADO
The benefits of using the RUD ACP-TURNADO in your business:
The mechanics of the new RUD ACP-TURNADO ensure that the anchor point always immediately turns in the load direction when raising the load. This prevents the possibility of a dangerous stop of the bracket occurring and the associated high-shearing forces.
This also rules out the highly-feared dropping of the load as a result of the sudden turning of the bracket. Moreover, through its optimised design and the special screw technology, the anchor point facilitates higher working load limits of up to 30 percent.
Simple Inspection and Maintenance
An RFID transponder is installed as standard to simplify the inspection of operating equipment, and ensure inspection and maintenance as well as documentation work is done quickly, efficiently, seamlessly and without fail. This, in turn, ensures the safety of RUD ACP-TURNADO use as well as the safety of your employees.
