RUD acquires Eastall Engineering Products line

RUD Australia is delighted to announce that it has acquired Eastall Engineering’s products, design and manufacturing arm. A local QLD company, Eastall is a company recognised for its high-quality fabrication and general engineering and RUD looks forward to providing the same levels of service and support.

This acquisition will help to supplement our own innovative range of engineered lifting, rotating, and materials handling solutions.

Continuity of Service

RUD is happy to supply the engineering products perfected by Eastall over the years including:

Pacman Coil Tilter

A small footprint upender for tilting coils of steel from a vertical to a horizontal bore position enabling safe loading to an Uncoiler machine.

Hydraulic Coil Tilter

The hydraulic oil tilt will help customers separate steel collars from a transport pallet in any high-risk area.

Quad Hook

The quad hook provides increased efficiency and safety when lifting vertical bore steel coils with a crane. It eliminates the dangers otherwise associated with the traditional approach.

Spreader and Lifting Beams

These beams can be used wherever loads have to be lifted and moved in a horizontal fashion. The load will be spread over the length of the beam, giving a more even distribution and ensuring a safe approach.

Self Levelling C-hook

A materials handling lifting attachment designed for easy and safe handling of steel coils,

Laurie Patterson

“Half the amount of gear for the same result”

Patterson Crane Hire loves a challenge and RUD lifting gear helps us solve these challenges. The weight saving gains when we use their Grade 120 ICE range really makes a difference and minimises our risk when we are managing difficult, heavy lifts. Simply put, this is why we choose to work with quality suppliers like RUD.

Managing Director, Air and Allied

“Quality suppliers and supportive business partners, recommended without hesitation”

Air & Allied Sales (Pacific) has partnered with RUD Chains for the past 25 years to deliver outstanding engineered solutions. The professional and continued relationship with Ian and his team allows us to continue to support our customers above and beyond their needs.

Our recent requirements have pushed the limits of a standard supplier’s capabilities, but RUD Chains have never waivered in their scaled supply. As a result, we have been able to meet surges in demand without issue, passing on the excellent support offered by RUD Chains to our own customers.

RUD Chains are both quality suppliers and supportive business partners, and we would recommend them without hesitation.
