RUD G-ABA Weld-On Lifting Point for Galvanising ? All-Sided Loadable Lifting Eye – 1t?4t WLL

Description

The RUD G-ABA Weld-On Lifting Point is engineered for professional lifting applications where galvanised corrosion protection, high safety factors, and multi-directional loading are required. Unlike standard weld-on lifting points, the G-ABA is optimised for galvanising or hot-dip galvanising after installation, making it the ideal choice for outdoor steel structures and long-term installations exposed to harsh environments.

Designed to be loaded from all sides, the G-ABA offers exceptional flexibility when rigging loads with varying force directions. This makes it particularly suitable for structural steelwork, infrastructure projects, and fabricated assemblies where lifting angles cannot always be perfectly aligned.

The G-ABA is forged from a single piece, ensuring maximum strength and eliminating rattling, vibration, or loose components during lifting operations. This solid construction supports smooth hinging of the lifting medium and delivers up to four times the safety against breakage, providing confidence in safety-critical applications.

A key advantage of the G-ABA is its continuous circular fillet weld, which fulfils the requirements of DIN EN 1090. This endless weld seam prevents contact and crevice corrosion, ensuring uniform coating during galvanising and long-term protection when used outdoors. As a result, the G-ABA is particularly suited to bridges, gantries, handrails, platforms, and other galvanised steel constructions.

To support inspection and maintenance, the G-ABA incorporates innovative wear markings that clearly indicate wear progression and the discard condition. These markings allow inspectors and operators to quickly determine whether the lifting point remains serviceable, improving safety and reducing downtime.

Clear, permanent markings on the body provide a clear indication of the Working Load Limit (WLL) for different loading directions, ensuring safe use in accordance with lifting regulations and best practice.

Manufactured to RUD?s exacting standards, the G-ABA Weld-On Lifting Point combines galvanising compatibility, durability, and all-sided load capability, making it a reliable solution for permanent lifting points in demanding outdoor and industrial environments.
