Product Description
RUD VLBG-PLUS Swivel Hoist Rings – 360° Rotating Side-Pull Lifting Points
The RUD VLBG-PLUS swivel hoist ring is a high-performance bolt-on lifting point designed for demanding rigging and lifting applications where loads may be applied from multiple directions. Unlike traditional eye bolts, the VLBG-PLUS features a 360° rotating body and 180° pivoting suspension ring, allowing the ring to automatically align with the direction of pull and significantly reduce dangerous side loading.
Manufactured by RUD in Germany, the VLBG-PLUS incorporates a captive but replaceable ICE-Bolt made from patented steel (sizes up to M24) with enhanced corrosion protection and improved toughness for reliable performance in harsh environments. The off-center force introduction design improves bending strength and reduces wear compared to conventional lifting eyes.
These lifting points are commonly used on machinery, molds, equipment frames, steel fabrications, and heavy components where secure lifting and repositioning are required. The suspension ring stays in the desired position thanks to an integrated clamping spring, allowing easy connection of hooks, chain slings, or other lifting hardware.
Key Features
- 360° rotating and 180° pivoting suspension ring aligns automatically with load direction
- Side-pull rated lifting point suitable for multi-directional loading
- Captive ICE-Bolt with combination head for secure installation
- High-strength forged components for demanding lifting applications
- Clear WLL markings for safe operation
- Integrated clamping spring keeps ring positioned correctly
- Available in multiple metric thread sizes
- Working load limits from 0.63 t up to 20 t
Important: VLBG-PLUS lifting points must be fully seated against a flat mounting surface and tightened to the recommended torque. Always ensure the lifting ring can rotate freely and aligns with the direction of pull before lifting.
