RUD VRL-FIX Octagonal Ring Link & VASKK-FIX Weld-On Block ? VIP Weld-On Edge Lifting Components 4t?50t WLL

Description

The RUD VRL-FIX and VASKK-FIX components form the structural core of RUD?s VIP weld-on edge lifting solutions, such as the VRBK-FIX system. Designed for permanent installation on steel structures, these components deliver exceptional strength, precise load control, and reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.
The VRL-FIX Octagonal Ring Link serves as the primary load-bearing suspension element. Its octagonal design ensures optimal alignment under load and controlled force transfer during lifting operations, even when subjected to angled or dynamic forces. The geometry helps minimise uneven loading and supports safe use in complex rigging scenarios.
Manufactured from high-strength forged steel, the VRL-FIX is available in Working Load Limits from 4 t to 50 t, making it suitable for a wide range of lifting applications ? from medium fabrication work to heavy structural lifting. The ring link is engineered to work seamlessly within VIP weld-on systems, offering excellent resistance to wear, deformation, and fatigue under repeated load cycles.
The VASKK-FIX Weld-On Block provides the permanent anchoring interface between the lifting point and the supporting structure. It is forged from a material specifically selected for excellent weldability, allowing for consistent, high-quality HY circular fillet welds. This welding method ensures a sealed, corrosion-resistant connection that significantly reduces the risk of contact or crevice corrosion, even in harsh environments.
Each VASKK-FIX block is precisely matched to its corresponding VRL-FIX ring link size, ensuring correct load distribution and system integrity. When combined, the components enable split force introduction, spreading lifting forces across multiple points and reducing stress concentrations in the base material.
These components are ideal for replacement, refurbishment, or custom fabrication of welded lifting points, particularly where edge-mounted lifting solutions are required. Once installed in accordance with RUD?s approved welding procedures, the VRL-FIX and VASKK-FIX combination delivers a robust, low-maintenance lifting interface with a long service life.
Commonly used across heavy industry, offshore construction, machinery manufacturing, and steel fabrication, these components provide engineers and fabricators with the flexibility to build or maintain VIP-compliant lifting points with confidence.
