RUD Hardware

Starpoint, VLBG, Powerpoint

  • The unique star shaped design allows it to be utilized in a way that is not possible with standard eyebolts
  • Adjust to the direction of the pull so that the working load limit is never diminished
  • Weighs and cost less than swevel hoist rings
  • Adjusts 360° with the direction of the pull
  • Designed to be side loaded unlike eyebolts
  • 100 percent magnetic particle tested for cracks at the factory
  • Shorter swivel radius thean a hoist ring: less likely to bind up on the part being lifted
  • Distinct florescent pink powder-coating changes it's color when its been exposed to temperatures that exceed 200° C

  • Designed for side load applications
  • Load ring is offset from center to ensure that the bail won't bind up on the part
  • The bolts in the VLBG have the RUD name on them, which means RUD controls the type of steel and process that is used to make them
  • 100 percent magnetic particle tested for cracks at the factory
  • Up to a 25 percent increase in working load limit over swivel hoist rings


  • Ability to pivot in any direction, allowing all common sling types to be quickly and safely attached without using additional hardware
  • Provides a universal connection point
  • Double ball-bearing guarantees that even under a full lead, the Powerpoint can be turned in a 90° position from the ballot center line
  • 100 percent magnetic particle tested for cracks at the factory
  • Up to 25 percent increase in the working load limit over swivel hoist rings
  • Distinct florescent pink powder-coating changes its color when its been exposed to temperatures that exceed 200° C

Epoxy Powder Coating in "Pink"

Special RUD products are coated with a flourescent pink powder coating (PATENT) This coating is used for example as a heat indicator: With temperature increase, the pink color changes permanently from beige into brown and when exceeding a temperature of 400° C into black. In addition, bubbles on the surface may appear.
