More than just another center pull hoist ring.
The ACP-TURNADO: Sets the new standard.
Whether the plastic processing industry, machine building, the tool and die industry or other industry sectors: For the worldwide transport and the handling of heavy loads, RUD lifting means are highly valued for their quality and the innovative design.
Correspondingly the challenge for the RUD ACP design team was to develop a lifting point, which eliminates the disadvantages of the present existing designs and makes the usage considerably easier and safer. The result: The RUD ACP-TURNADO, the world’s first perceptive lifting point.
THE NEW
RUD ACP-TURNADO.
THE WORLD’S FIRST SMART LIFTING POINT.
A lot can happen when you use just a typical eyebolt, for instance;• High shear stresses and bending moments act on the lifting point.
Possible consequence: Mechanical damage or even breakage.
• Jerky flipping and sudden sinking of the load with dangerous forces.
Possible consequences: Damage to the load, lifting means and crane components. Risk of employee injuries.
This is why the new RUD ACP-TURNADO was reinvented as it is the perfect solution for preventing the worst-case scenario that could happen when the lifting ring stays in the upright position during lifting: worst-case position!
THE ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE:
• No stoppage of the lifting ring with high shear stresses and bending moments.• Automatic turning to direction of force – no sudden sinking of the load.
• Up to 30 % higher working load limits than comparable sizes – thanks to RUD ICE-BOLT technology and optimised, lowprofile design.
• No kinking of the hook – thanks to the round lifting ring design.
Maximum force transmission in all possible directions.
• Captive yet exchangeable combination-head screw.
• Wear indicators.
• RFID technology as standard
WHAT MAKES THE RUD ACP-TURNADO SO UNIQUE ?
1. NO WORST-CASE POSITION – AUTOMATIC TURNING INTO LOAD DIRECTION
• Thanks to its unique spring mechanism, the RUD ACP-TURNADO always turns immediately into direction of optimal force transmission.• The worst-case position with its high transverse loads is avoided.
2. UP TO 30% HIGHER WORKING LOAD LIMITS THAN COMPARABLE SIZES
• Low design height• Optimised design – reinforced in critical areas.
• RUD ICE-BOLT made of specially developed ICE fine-grained steel.
• Combines maximum material strength with very high ductility.
• Masters high bending loads statically and dynamically.
• Maximum low temperature resistance.
3. OTHER CONVINCING FEATURES
• Rotatable combination-head screw: captive and yet still replaceable.• No kinking of the hook in the lifting point– thanks to the round lifting ring.
• RUD BLUE-ID SYSTEM: RFID transponder fitted as standard.
