Selecting the proper chain is critical for safe lifting operations. Remove the guesswork of choosing the right chain length and components with the Australian RUD Sling Configurator, which helps you select the best RUD Grade-100 and Grade-120 chains for your requirements.

Configuring lifting chains does not have to be time-consuming or complicated. Traditionally, this involved multiple decisions such as selecting the chain grade, lifting angles, end components and load requirements. It also required manually cross-referencing charts, part numbers and technical specs.

But with the NEW RUD Sling Configurator, you can design, configure and create the proper chain sling for any lifting application. And in only six easy steps. So, whether you are an engineer wanting to do a lift plan, a rigging specialist or a lifting equipment supplier, the RUD online tool makes it faster and easier with a step-by-step process that ensures your final setup is safe and optimised for your specific lifting needs.
