product detailsLoad securing
During the transportation of machines or components, high forces often act on the load. For safe transportation, it is important to apply the necessary retaining forces reliably in order to keep the load on the load bed.
Lashing points
Lashing points connect the load bed with the lashing chain. Lashing points from RUD are available both in weldable and in boltable versions.
product detailsShortening elements
Shortening elements make manual fast-shortening possible for the subsequent ideal adjustment of the tensioning elements.
product detailsChains
The ICE Lashing Chain replaces grade 8 of the next largest nominal thickness and has an up to 60% higher breaking load (significant weight savings, improved ergonomics, faster attachment and increased safety through improved material properties).
product detailsTensioning elements
Tensioning elements make fast and easy pre-tensioning possible. In addition, RUD tensioning elements have a practical mechanical locking device and an anti-theft device.
product detailsLink elements
Link elements connect the lashing chain with the lashing point.
product detailsLashing points
Lashing points connect the loading area with the lashing chain. Lashing points from RUD are available in both weldable and boltable versions.
product detailsIdentification tags
Identification tags from RUD contain information about the respective lashing chain (reliable lashing force, pre-tension force etc.). In addition, it can be used to check the main set-down criteria of the chain (Gauge function).
