German heavy transport firm Alborn partnered with RUD for their new 400+ tonne Scheuerle trailer, selecting ACP-TURNADO lashing points. Using the ACP-TURNADO is a testimony to the exceptional load securing and safety of RUD lashing points, which exceed industry standards. Read the article below, which includes the testing process that confirms the capability of RUD lashing points to transport oversized cargo, securely and efficiently.

Most transport companies do not include/specify individual lashing points when they source their trailers or transport modules. However, August Alborn GmbH & Co. KG, a reputed transport company headquartered in Dortmund, Germany, is different. For decades, their Managing Director, Helmut Alborn, has trusted in the quality and reliability of RUD lifting and lashing products. This partnership was further solidified when Alborn had to source a new Scheuerle platform trailer which was designed to accommodate substantial loads exceeding 400 tonnes. For this acquisition, Mr Alborn specifically authorised the inclusion of RUD lashing points and lashing systems, in particular the ACP-TURNADO.

The core business of August Alborn GmbH & Co. KG is the secure delivery of specialised freight, including rail vehicles, large transformers, and intricate system components. To enhance their capabilities, August Alborn invested in a Scheuerle K25 L platform trailer. This low-bed heavy-duty module has an impressive payload capacity and can handle weights exceeding 400 tonnes. Its engineered design includes a significant track width, providing approximately 10 percent greater stability and safety margins when compared to comparable standard models. 

Alborn's commitment to safety extended beyond the selection of high-performance transport vehicles. The Dortmund-based company maintains a stringent policy of lashing equipment for load securing. Managing Director Helmut Alborn's decades-long reliance on RUD is a testament to this unwavering dedication. "High-quality load securing equipment is not an optional extra; it is a fundamental standard within our operations," affirms the entrepreneur, who is the fourth generation in the family business. "As a valued and long-standing partner, RUD possesses an intrinsic understanding of our unique operational demands and consistently provides tailored solutions where the lashing chains and corresponding lashing points are seamlessly and optimally matched for maximum efficacy and safety."

ACP-TURNADO - The Definitive Lashing Point Solution

When specifying the components for the Scheuerle K25 L heavy-duty module, Helmut Alborn insisted that RUD lashing points meet their stringent requirements. After careful evaluation, the ACP-TURNADO model in the M36 nominal size emerged as the preferred choice. Mr Alborn was particularly impressed by the exceptional lashing capacity offered by the ACP-TURNADO. "Within the M36 nominal size category, there is simply no other lashing point currently available on the market that possesses the capability to effectively transfer a lashing capacity of 25,000 daN," Mr. Alborn states. "With the integration of this advanced lashing point in conjunction with the high-performance heavy-duty module from TII Scheuerle, we have effectively attained what we consider to be the pinnacle of load securing technology – ‘load securing 4.0’."

Unrivalled Lashing Capacity for Enhanced Transport Safety

The technical specifications of the ACP-TURNADO underscore its exceptional performance characteristics. The certified lashing capacity of the ACP-TURNADO exceeds that of comparable-sized lashing points by approximately 30 percent. Manufactured from high-strength steel and originally engineered as a robust lifting point for handling substantial loads, its strength and design make it ideally suited for the critical task of securing heavy loads during transport. A key technical innovation of the ACP-TURNADO is the integrated spring mechanism, which ensures that the lifting point lift always aligns itself with the direction of the applied pull during lifting operations. This self-aligning feature also provides a significant advantage when lashing transport loads, a key benefit acknowledged by Mr. Alborn: "The inherent self-alignment of the ACP-TURNADO is a feature we greatly value and readily incorporate into our load securing protocols." These advanced lashing points are seamlessly integrated with RUD ICE grade 12 lashing chains, which themselves boast a substantial lashing capacity of 25,000 daN, creating a comprehensive and highly effective load-securing system.

Optimised Frame Design for Seamless Lashing Point Integration

In addition to its impressive lashing capacity, another compelling benefit of the ACP-TURNADO was its exceptional flexibility. As a boltable lashing point, its positioning can be readily adjusted and relocated as operational requirements dictate. However, to fully capitalise on this inherent advantage, the structural design of the heavy-duty module's frame must not only incorporate a sufficient quantity of strategically placed through-holes but also possess the requisite structural integrity to withstand the applied forces. Recognising this critical interplay, TII Scheuerle collaborated closely with RUD to adapt the frame design of the Scheuerle K25 L. This collaborative engineering effort ensured that all the stringent requirements for the highly stable and secure attachment of the ACP-TURNADO lashing points were comprehensively met.

Successful Real-World Validation of Lashing Solution Performance

The practical effectiveness of this meticulously engineered lashing solution was demonstrated during a comprehensive test run conducted on 12 February 2025. During this critical evaluation, the Scheuerle K25 L platform trailer, operated by Alborn, flawlessly and without any operational interruptions, transported a substantial 215-tonne test load. This load was securely restrained by utilising the ACP-TURNADO lashing points in conjunction with the high-performance ICE 120 lashing chains supplied by RUD. The successful execution of this demanding test validated the solution's suitability and reliability for everyday operational use in the demanding field of heavy transport.

Helmut Alborn's concluding assessment reflects his complete satisfaction with the outcome: "Knowing that this carefully selected combination of heavy-duty module and advanced lashing equipment comprehensively meets all our stringent requirements provides me with complete peace of mind. I am confident in the knowledge that we have achieved the highest possible levels of safety for both our employees and our customers. This commitment to safety is paramount to our operational ethos, and we remain steadfast in our willingness to invest in the highest quality technology available to achieve and maintain these critical safety standards."

Across the world, RUD lifting points and chains are known for their pink colour (Often referred to as pinkies in Australia). Ever wonder why the colour pink? Read the story of how the RUD pink colour came to be and our 30-year journey since 1994.

 The article below summarises the interview conducted with Hermann Kolb, Head of the RUD Group’s Lifting and Lashing Equipment Division in Germany. The original interviews can be read here and here.

In the world of lifting and lashing equipment, functionality and safety reign supreme, and branding takes second place. Yet, for the past three decades, RUD has broken the mould, blazing a new path with its signature pink colour for its lifting, lashing and chain products.

What started as a bold design choice in 1994 has become an industry-defining trademark. From technological advancements to innovative safety measures, RUD's pink lifting and lashing points and chains have reshaped the perception of industrial equipment while reinforcing the brand's commitment to excellence.

The Beginning of an Unmistakable Trademark

The story of RUD's pink lifting equipment began in 1994 with the development of the world’s first Grade 100 chain system. This ground-breaking advancement represented a significant leap in strength and durability, but RUD wanted to ensure it would also stand out visually in a traditionally conservative industry. Opting for colour as the differentiator, the company chose pink - a decision that was as daring as it was unconventional.

According to Hermann Kolb, the Head of RUD Group’s Lifting and Lashing Equipment Division, the colour pink was associated with progressiveness and modernity, making it an ideal choice to signal innovation. The new design was paired with the product designation VIP 100, where "VIP" stood for Verwechslungsfrei in Pink (non-mix-up in pink). The colour initially sparked internal debate, but it was embraced by employees and stakeholders who saw its potential to redefine RUD’s market presence.

Overcoming Industry Stereotypes

Launching pink-coloured lifting chains in a male-dominated, function-over-form industry came with its challenges. However, the team at RUD was determined and refused to compromise on the new colour.

Even after the initial scepticism, the decision to continue with the pink colour was challenging. “A RUD chain is a RUD chain,” Kolb states, reinforcing the company’s commitment to its brand identity. Over time, the pink colour gained acceptance, and customers began to associate RUD with pink lifting and lashing equipment - a connection that has strengthened the brand over the years.

Function Meets Form - Pink as a Safety Indicator

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the pink coating on RUD’s products serves a critical functional purpose. When exposed to high temperatures exceeding 200°C, the colour darkens progressively, offering a visual indicator of heat exposure. This feature allows users to assess whether a component has been compromised and should be replaced. A brown-black colour, for instance, signals that the material has surpassed 300°C, potentially reducing its strength and requiring immediate replacement.

This innovative approach has set RUD apart in the industry. It provides an additional layer of safety while enhancing the practical value of its products. The heat-responsive colour chart developed by RUD is now a standard tool for professionals who rely on these components.

The Journey from Grade 100 to Grade 120

RUD’s commitment to innovation is reflected not only in the functionality of its products but also in the evolution of its iconic colour. The original, light pink, represented Grade 100 and remained the standard from 1994 until 2007. As RUD introduced Grade 120, we needed to differentiate the higher grade, which is why all ICE 120 products come with a darker shade called ICE pink. This subtle yet effective variation shows the quality differentiator for clarity.

Powder Coating - Durability Under Pressure

RUD’s pink coating is applied using advanced powder-coating technology, ensuring resilience against the rigours of industrial use. To further reinforce product traceability and safety, RUD incorporates permanent embossing such as manufacturer details, quality class, and batch numbers.

Customisation for Diverse Needs

While pink is RUD’s standard colour, we also cater for customer-specific requirements. Weldable lifting points are often integrated into machinery and vehicles, and in such cases, we offer customised coatings to match product functionality with ambience.

Similarly, our anchor points for personal fall arrest, such as the PSA VRS-STARPOINT or the PSA INOX-STAR, come in yellow. Although this colour is not dictated by any formal standard, it has become an industry norm, providing a clear visual distinction for components designed to secure people instead of lifting or lashing.

Market Reception and Customer Engagement

RUD launched the pink colour in 1994 at the Hanover Fair. Since then, trade fairs and conferences have proven to be important platforms to showcase the pink lifting and lashing equipment. The striking colour often sparks curiosity among visitors and initiates conversations, which has transformed the colour into a recognised brand identity.

Kolb, reflecting on the 30-year journey, affirms that, in hindsight, the decision was perfect and would be made again without hesitation. “We exceeded our expectations. The association ‘RUD = pink’ has achieved an extremely high level of acceptance, and I believe this will remain the case for a long time to come.”

The Future of Pink Innovation

As RUD celebrates 30 years of pink lifting points and chains, we continue to expand boundaries in safety, quality, and design. The enduring success of the pink colour branding demonstrates strategic foresight in shaping market perception.

In an industry driven by performance and reliability, RUD’s pink lifting equipment stands as a testament to the value of innovation - not just in technology but also in how a company chooses to define itself. For professionals worldwide, and especially in Australia, where "Pinkies" are a standard, RUD’s vibrant legacy is poised to continue for decades to come.
