RUD’s ingenious spring mechanism.The Rud Turnado reacts actively and avoids self-contained the "worst-case-scenario" are with this high traverse loading. Its ingenious spring mechanism turns the lift ring automatically into the direction of an optimal force transmission. No tilting. No unintentional reverting.

Conventionally designed centre pull hoist rings favour kinking of the hook more likely. No proper position of the hook within the suspension ring, no optimal load force transmission. This status will be favoured especially by the following acts.

1. The lifting point does not automatically and safely turns in the direction of the load.
2. The hook cants at the inside profile of the suspension ring.

the ACP Turnado eliminates theses dangers completely. The intelligent spring mechanism make sure that the suspension ring turn optimal into the load force direction. The lift ring design guarantees a safe position of the hook without kinking. The result: The first hoist ring that insure no kinking!

Wear indicators, positioned at the critical points of the force transmission make it easy and quicker to identify whether the wear of the lifting point is still within the safe range or whether the lifting point is no loner safe to use.

To allow easy and clear reading of the most relevant information such as WLL, torque, dimension of the bolt etc. even under the toughest conditions, it is either stamper or embossed on into the surface of the lifting pint.

The bolt provides and in, and outside hexagon and is captive, but can be exchanged if necessary.
