RUD VLBG-PLUS Load Ring
The VLBG Plus lifting point is the superseding version of the older standard RUD VLBG swivel load ring, which now has a 45 % higher WLL at an average (M8 – M30).
VLBG-Plus Features
- Quick and easy installation.
- Capacity range 630 to 20,000kg.
- Thread range M8 to M48.
- Clear marking of the minimum WLL.
- 4:1 Safety factor.
- Full working load in all directions.
- Range of rotation 360°.
- Pivoting range suspension link 180°.
- DGUV-approval.
- Optimum WLL with captive but exchangeable ICE-Bolt.
- The bracket is adjustable in force direction.
- A comprehensive range of threads.
- Maximum operation temperature range WITHOUT reduction of WLL -40°–100°C.
- Maximum operation temperature range WITH reduction of WLL 300°C max.
Captive but exchangeable ICE-Bolt made out of patented steel with special corrosion protection Corrud-DT. Non-hazardous deep temperature usage; higher toughness and therefore higher bending strength, as well as less wear occurrence. Original ICE-Bolt is available as a spare part. Clear marking at the bolt head: RUD, ICE, thread size, batch-no., class of strength.
The clamping spring works as a noise reduction and holds the suspension ring in the requested position; therefore, a simple hinge of lifting means a possible, respectively flat design if turned down.

Imperial Thread Version of the VLBG-Plus
On this page, you can see the metric options for the RUD VLBG-Plus, but imperial thread options are also available. For imperial UNC threads, please see the RUD VLBG-Z lifting point.
