RUD All Round Load Bearing Lifting Points
Setting the Benchmark in Safety & Performance
In demanding lifting applications, safety and durability are essential. RUD’s all-round load-bearing lifting points were the first of their kind and have continued to evolve to meet a wide range of operational needs.
Available in weldable, bolted, stainless steel, and hot-dip galvanised versions, each product is designed for reliable performance in tough environments from high vibration areas to corrosive or cleanroom settings.
From the original W-ABA to the latest models, here’s the full RUD range
W-ABA – The Original Weldable Solution
The success story began with the W-ABA, RUD’s first weldable, all-round load-bearing lifting point. Engineered for use on structures exposed to vibration and high impact loading conditions. the W-ABA is built to withstand the toughest conditions. Its fully closed fillet weld ensures maximum safety while offering exceptional resistance to crevice corrosion, making it a reliable solution in extreme environments.
INOX-ABA – Stainless Steel for Demanding Environments
Expanding the W-ABA’s legacy, the INOX-ABA introduces a stainless steel, weldable variant tailored for harsh and corrosive settings. It eliminates the safety limitations of conventional lifting points, providing a high-performance, corrosion-resistant solution that’s also suitable for cleanroom and hygiene sensitive applications.
Manufactured from duplex steel 1.4462 and protected by a continuous closed fillet weld, the INOX-ABA is available in 0.8 t, 1.6 t, and 2.7 t load capacities. It operates reliably in temperatures from -40°C to +250°C.
A key benefit of the 1.6-tonne version is its PPE certification, enabling it to serve not only as a lifting point but also as a fall protection anchor — ideal for personal safety in a variety of outdoor environments.
B-ABA – Bolted Flexibility
The B-ABA brings maximum flexibility to the product range. As a bolted lifting point, it can be easily attached and removed as needed, making it the perfect solution for applications where permanent welding is not practical such as construction sites, modular structures, or temporary lifting systems.
L-ABA – Lashing Point for Extreme Demands
The L-ABA is a high-strength lashing point engineered for securing heavy machinery and vehicles, including earth-moving equipment, drilling rigs, and rollers. Forged from a single piece for superior durability, it delivers a high minimum lashing force and performs reliably under the most demanding conditions
G-ABA – The Hot-Dip Galvanising Solution
The G-ABA is the newest member of the all-round load-bearing range, purpose-built for hot dip galvanising. Ideal for components requiring long lasting corrosion protection, it combines durability, function, and safety, even in the most challenging environments.
