RUD Lashing points.

During the transportation of heavy machines or components, enormous forces can act on the load. The retention forces required to keep the load on the load bed are transmitted reliably using direct lashing.

However, the basic pre-requisite for direct lashing is the existence of lashing points on the load and on the load bed.

In other words, correct load securing starts during the design phase and is the responsibility of the design engineer or manufacturer.

Weldable RUD lashing points are forged, movable ring eyes made of high-quality alloy steel that are located in bearing blocks that can be easily welded.

RUD lashing points with LC specification in daN can also be retrofitted to the vehicle carrier by certified welders. Apart from these weldable lashing points, RUD has a comprehensive range of boltable variants.

Note: ISO 15818 has been in force since March 2017. For the first time, this defines global requirement criteria for lashing points for earth-moving machinery. All RUD lashing points meet the requirements of this standard.

• be freely accessible;
• have a shape that allows the folding safety catch of the lashing hook to be closed;
• be adapted to the shape of the lashing hooks and not require any additional adapter elements such as shackles;
• guarantee the correct WLL on the connected lashing hook (WLL at the bottom of the hook / no bending load);
• be positioned to make lashing in the direct strand possible – without diverting the lashing means over component edges;
• be positioned to make it possible to maintain reasonable lashing angles – reference value α ; β ≈ 30°;

• be clearly recognisable as such and marked with their lashing capacity;
• be available in sufficient number and lashing capacity;
• be easily replaceable in the event of damage;
• exhibit plastic deformation prior to failure in order to make damage apparent;
• be designed such that the nominal lashing capacity can be applied in all expected loading directions – ideally, they should be able to be loaded on all sides;
• have 2-fold safety against breakage.
