RUD VRL-FIX Octagonal Ring Link & VASK VRBS Weld-On Block ? VIP Weld-On Lifting Components 4t?31.5t WLL

Description

The RUD VRL-FIX and VASK components form the core structural elements of the VRBS and VRBS-FIX VIP weld-on load ring systems, providing a robust, permanently installed lifting solution for demanding industrial environments. Designed for professional use, these components allow for flexible system configuration while maintaining RUD?s high safety and quality standards.
The VRL-FIX Octagonal Ring Link is the primary load-bearing suspension element. Its octagonal geometry ensures optimal load alignment and controlled force transfer during lifting operations, even when subjected to angled or dynamic loads. The universal design makes the VRL-FIX fully compatible with both VRBS and VRBS-FIX systems, allowing it to be used as a replacement part or as part of a custom welded lifting assembly.
Available with Working Load Limits from 4 t to 31.5 t, the VRL-FIX is precision-forged to provide excellent resistance to deformation and wear under repeated loading cycles. Clear dimensional consistency ensures predictable performance once welded into the system.
The VASK Weld-On Block provides the structural interface between the lifting point and the base material. Manufactured from a material specifically selected for excellent weldability, the VASK block enables strong, reliable weld seams while minimising the risk of weld defects. Each VASK size is matched to its corresponding VRL-FIX ring link to ensure correct load transfer and system integrity.
When welded correctly, the VRL-FIX and VASK combination enables split force introduction, reducing stress concentrations in the supporting structure. This makes the system particularly well suited to heavy steel fabrications, machinery frames, transport equipment, and permanent lifting points where bolted solutions are not practical.
These components are ideal for maintenance, refurbishment, or replacement of existing VRBS lifting points, as well as for custom fabrication projects requiring a proven VIP weld-on lifting solution. Once installed, the system offers excellent resistance to wear, deformation, and fatigue, supporting long service life in harsh industrial conditions.

Typical Applications
Heavy steel fabrication and structural assemblies
Industrial machinery and equipment frames
Offshore and marine steelwork
Power generation and infrastructure projects
Replacement or refurbishment of welded lifting points

Installation & Safety Notes
Welding must be carried out by qualified personnel
Follow RUD-approved welding procedures and seam sizes
Ensure correct pairing of VRL-FIX and VASK components
Inspect weld seams and lifting points regularly
Always observe the marked Working Load Limits

The RUD VRL-FIX Octagonal Ring Link and VASK Weld-On Block provide a reliable, flexible solution for building or maintaining VIP weld-on lifting points, delivering proven RUD performance, safety, and durability in permanent lifting installations.
