UD Chains is a leading manufacturer
of lifting and lashing equipment that
helps guarantee ultimate safety when
lifting and moving heavy loads. Their
diverse product range offers over 600
tested and certified lifting and lashing
points for bolting and welding covering a working load
capacity range from 0.6-250 tonnes. The ever popular
RUD VLBG load ring has been developed to offer the
new VLBG Plus. The innovative VLBG Plus now includes
RUD’s robust ICE- Bolt. The ICE-Bolt is made from
their revolutionary patented fine grain steel which is
operational to temperatures as low of -60°C.
r
Lifting points are often used for turning, rotating and
tilting which adds a considerable risk to the lift. When
lifts are turned under full load it results in high friction
between the bolt head and the rotating connecting
element, which subsequently can lead to the opening
of the bolt mid lift which can occur with DIN 580 / standard eye
bolts. However this does not happen with the new RUD VLBG plus.
The VLBG Plus bolt offers a considerable safety feature to the
operator and equipment being lifted; it will stay firmly fastened
under full loads, vertically or horizontally. The ICE-Bolt is quick and
easy to install and assembly is possible with a flat/ ring wrench or
Allen key.
The VLBG plus offers an impressive 45% higher working load limit
(M8-M30) compared to the VLBG. It rotates 360º and the suspension

ring pivots 180º. The clamping spring works as a noise reduction
function and holds the suspension ring in the requested position.
A clear marking of the minimum working load limit for all loading
directions is also highlighted on the load ring.
Complex lifts where the load has to be manoeuvred and tilted in
all directions can be safely and effectively done with the use of the
VLBG-Plus load ring. The VLBG Plus can be used across a variety
of working environments from engineering, construction, rail,
offshore, handling and MOD projects to name a few.
