RUD VRBK-FIX VIP Weld-On Edge Load Ring ? Pivoting Lifting Point for 90? Edges – 4t?50t WLL (Complete)

Description

The RUD VRBK-FIX VIP Load Ring for Welding on Edges is engineered for professional lifting operations where conventional flat-surface lifting points are not suitable. Designed for installation on 90? edges, the VRBK-FIX provides a safe, efficient, and permanent lifting solution for heavy steel structures, machinery, and fabricated components.
Supplied as a pre-assembled unit, the VRBK-FIX consists of a forged suspension ring and precisely matched weld-on blocks. This eliminates the need for time-consuming alignment during installation and ensures consistent performance once welded in place. The design allows for split force introduction through multiple fixing points, reducing peak stresses in the supporting structure and improving overall safety.
A key feature of the VRBK-FIX is its 270? pivoting suspension ring, which enables optimal alignment with the lifting medium even in restricted or complex rigging situations. In addition, the load ring can safely accommodate loads applied up to 90? in the load ring plane, offering greater flexibility and reducing the risk of unintended side loading.
The VRBK-FIX is manufactured using all-round HY circular fillet welding, which provides a continuous, sealed weld seam. This design prevents contact and crevice corrosion, making the lifting point particularly well suited to harsh industrial, offshore, and outdoor environments where long-term durability is critical.
For enhanced operational safety and ease of inspection, the VRBK-FIX incorporates innovative wear markings. These markings allow operators to quickly assess wear levels and clearly identify when the lifting point has reached its discard condition, supporting preventative maintenance and reducing downtime.
A clamping spring is integrated into the design to reduce noise and vibration during operation while keeping the suspension ring in the desired position when not under load. This feature improves handling comfort and helps maintain correct ring orientation between lifts.
The VRBK-FIX has been tested and certified by DGUV in accordance with GS-OA-15-04 (2015-12) test criteria, confirming its suitability for safety-critical lifting applications. Once installed correctly, it provides a robust, low-maintenance lifting solution capable of withstanding demanding load conditions over an extended service life.
