German RUD VLBG Bolt-Type Swivel Lifting Eye | A Reliable Safety Tool for Industrial Lifting


Genuine German import | 360° omnidirectional load capacity | 4x safety factor | Corrosion-resistant and durable

In industrial lifting, equipment handling, mold transportation, and other applications, safety always comes first! As a global leader in rigging hardware, Germany’s RUD offers the VLBG bolt‑type swivel hoist ring, which, with its robust quality and versatile design, has become a preferred choice for lifting and rigging in high‑end manufacturing, construction machinery, shipbuilding, and heavy industry.

✅ Core advantages that outshine ordinary pull-up rings.

 

Omni-directional load-bearing, with stress distributed evenly in all directions.

Supports 360° rotation and 180° flipping, automatically adjusts its angle to align with the direction of tension, and maintains a consistent rated load in all orientations, effectively eliminating the risk of fracture caused by lateral stress.

 

High-quality materials, sturdy and durable

Forged from Grade 100 high-strength CrNiMo alloy steel, it features an integral one-piece construction with exceptional toughness; paired with genuine RUD ICE bolts and subjected to 100% electromagnetic crack detection, it eliminates hidden defects.

 

Superior corrosion resistance, suitable for harsh environments.

The surface is coated with CORRUD-DT, a proprietary coating in the signature pink color, offering corrosion resistance more than 20 times that of conventional galvanizing and performing reliably under challenging conditions such as high humidity, low temperatures, and outdoor exposure.

 

Maximum security, officially certified.

The entire product line features a fourfold safety factor; models M30 and above are DNV‑GL certified and comply with the European EN 1677 standard, ensuring industrial‑grade lifting safety.

Easy to install, widely compatible.

Only one threaded hole or through-hole is required; it can be quickly secured with a single bolt and installed using either a flat-head or hex key. Equipped with an internal support spring, it folds flat for space-saving storage and easy hanging.
