RUD VABH-B VIP Boltable Attachment Block – Excavator hook – Heavy-Duty Lifting Point – 1.5 t ? 6.7 t WLL
RUD-AB-VABH-B
The RUD VABH-B VIP Boltable Attachment Block, also commonly referred to as an excavator hook, is a heavy-duty, permanently mounted lifting point designed for use on cross bars, beams, trusses, and structural steelwork. With a Working Load Limit (WLL) from 1.5 tonnes up to 6.7 tonnes, it provides a secure, versatile connection point for wire rope slings, round slings, and lifting equipment with loop or oval suspension rings, eliminating the need for additional connecting elements while ensuring maximum safety and durability in demanding lifting operations.

Description
The RUD VABH-B VIP Boltable Attachment Block / Excavator Hook is engineered for professional lifting applications where strength, reliability, and permanent installation are critical. Designed to be bolted directly onto cross bars, beams, and trusses, the VABH-B creates a stable and clearly defined lifting point for a wide range of industrial lifting tasks.
This attachment block is suitable for use with wire rope slings and round slings, as well as lifting means featuring a loop or oval suspension ring, making it highly adaptable across construction, civil engineering, steel fabrication, and plant installation environments. Its design allows direct connection without additional shackles or connectors, reducing component complexity and potential failure points.
Manufactured from RUD?s patented ICE-Bolt steel, the VABH-B offers enhanced toughness, improved bending strength, and reduced wear compared to conventional lifting attachments. This results in a longer service life, even under repetitive lifting cycles and harsh site conditions such as outdoor exposure or heavy-duty industrial use.
A robust forged safety latch ensures the lifting medium remains securely retained during operation, significantly reducing the risk of accidental disengagement. The inclusion of innovative wear markings allows operators and inspectors to quickly assess the condition of the attachment block and clearly identify when it has reached its discard limit, supporting safe lifting practices and planned maintenance programs.
The VABH-B has been tested in accordance with BG/DGUV ?GS-HM 36? test criteria, confirming its suitability for professional and safety-critical lifting applications. Its boltable design makes it ideal for both permanent and semi-permanent lifting points, including use as an excavator-mounted lifting hook when installed on approved structural components.
