Before initial usage of the RUD VCGH-S,
please read carefully the safety instruc-
tions. Make sure that you have understood
all subjected matters.
Non-observance can lead to serious per-
sonal injuries and material damage and
eliminates warranty.
1 Safety instructions
ATTENTION
Wrong positioned or damaged weld-on
lifting points as well as improper use can
lead to injuries of persons and damage at
property, when load falls down.
Please check all lifting points carefully
before every usage.
• Remove all body parts (fingers, hands, arms,
etc.) out of the hazard area (danger of crushing or
squeezing) during the lifting process.
• RUD Lifting points VCGH-S must only be used
by instructed and competent persons considering
DGUV 109-017, and outside Germany noticing the
country specic statutory regulations.
• Do not exceed the working load limit (WLL) indica-
ted on the lifting point.
• No technical alterations must be implemented on
the VCGH-S.
• No people may stay in the danger zone.
• Jerky lifting (strong impacts) should be prevented.
• Always ensure a stable position of the load when
lifting. Swinging must be prevented.
• Damaged or worn VCGH-S must never be utilised.
2 Intended use
RUD Lifting points VCGH-S must only be used for the
assembly at the load or at lifting means.
They are designed and intended to attach lifting
means.
RUD Lifting points can also be used as lashing points
to attach lashing means.
RUD Lifting points must only be used in the hereby
specied case of operation.
3 Assembly- and instruction manual
3.1 General information
• Capability of temperature usage:
RUD Lifting points VCGH-S are suitable for the
temperature range from -20°C up to 400°C.
For the use within the following temperature range,
the working load limit (WLL) must be reduced by
the following factors:
-20°C up to 200°C no reduction
200°C up to 300°C minus 10 %
300°C up to 400°C minus 25 %
Temperatures exceeding 400°C are prohibited!
• RUD Lifting points VCGH-S must not be used
with aggressive chemicals such as acids, alkaline
solutions and their vapours.
• Please mark mounting position of lifting point with
a coloured contrast paint for better visibility.
3.2 Hints for the assembly
Basically essential:
• The material construction to which the lifting
point will be attached should be of adequate
strength to withstand forces during lifting wit-
hout deformation. The weld-on material must
be suitable for welding and the contact are-
as must be free from dirt, oil, colour, ect.
The material of the forged welding block is:
S355J2 (1.0577+N (St52-3))
• The position of the lifting points must be carried
out in such a way that unintended movement like
turning or ipping will be avoided.
• For single leg lifts, the lifting point should be
vertically above the centre of gravity of the load
• For two leg lifts, the lifting points must be
equidistant to/or above the centre of gravity
of the load.
• For three and four leg lifts, the lifting points
should be arranged symmetrical around the
centre of gravity, in the same plane if possible.
• Load symmetry:
Determine the necessary WLL of each lifting point
for a symmetrical load by using the following phy-
sical calculation formula:
WLL = necessary WLL of lifting point /
single strand (kg)
G = weight of load (kg)
n = number of load bearing strands
ß = inclination angle of single strand
WLL=G
n x cos ß
Number of load bearing strands:
Symmetric Unsymmetric
two leg 2 1
three / four leg 3 1
Table 1: Load bearing strands (compare to Table 2)
• Arrangement of the Excavator hooks: The instal-
lation should be in the direction of pull.

• Check nally the correct assembly (see chapter 4
Inspection / Repair / Disposal).
3.3 Hints for the welding
The welding should only be carried out according to
DIN EN ISO 9606-1 or AWS Standards by an autho-
rized and certied welder.
Verication of the used weld-on material must be
checked with the supplier of the welding electrodes
HINT
• Weld all seams at the same temperature
1 Fasten provisionally, resp. start welding in the
middle of the plate.
2 Before the closure weld is carried out, make sure
that the bottom and all interlayers are cleaned
carefully. Remove all visible aw spots of the root
and at the interlayers.
3 Weld llet weld continuous at the base plate of the
lifting point.
4 Please check by a competent person after welding
the ongoing usage of the weld-on lifting point (see
chapter 4 Inspection / Repair / Disposal).
HINT
By the position of the weld-seam (HY-weld
circumferential) the following requirements
will be observed: DIN 18800 steel con-
structions requires: at outdoor buildings or
when strong corrosion must be expected
weld seams must be carried out as conti-
nuous llet weld seams.

3.4 User instruction
• Check frequently and before each initial operation
the whole lifting point in regard of linger ability as
a lifting mean, regarding corrosion, wear, defor-
mation etc. (see chapter 4 Inspection / Repair /
Disposal).
ATTENTION
Wrong positioned or damaged weld-on
lifting points as well as improper use can
lead to injuries of persons and damage at
property, when load falls down.
Please check all lifting points carefully
before every usage.
• RUD components are designed according to DIN
EN 818 and DIN EN 1677 for a dynamic load of
20,000 load cycles.
• Keep in mind that several load cycles can occur
with a lifting procedure
• Keep in mind that, due to the high dynamic
stress with high numbers of load cycles, that
there is a danger that the product will be da-
maged.
• The BG/DGUV recommends: For higher dyna-
mic loading with a high number of load cycles
(continuous operation), the working load stress
must be reduced according to the driving me-
chanism group 1Bm (M3 in accordance with
DIN EN 818-7). Use a lifting point with a higher
working load limit.
• Please check carefully the wear indicator markings
of the weld-on lifting point (see Pic. 3):

Usage permitted:
no wear marks

reached. Material all the
way down to the wear
lenses has gone.

Pic. 3: Wear indicators
• Please note that the lifting mean must be free
moveable in the VCGH-S. When lifting means (f.e.
lifting chain) are hinged or unhinged, no pinching,
shearing or joint spots must occur during the
handling.
• Avoid damage of lifting means resulting from sharp
edges.
• If RUD VCGH-S lifting points are used solely for
lashing, the value of the working load limit can
be doubled. LC = permissible lashing force = 2 x
working load limit (WLL).
HINT
If the VCGH-S is/was used as a lashing
point, with a force higher than the WLL, it
must not be used as a lifting point afterwards.
If the VCGH-S is/was used as a lashing
point, up to the WLL only, it can still be used
afterwards as a lifting point.

4 Inspection / Repair / Disposal
4.1 Hints for periodical inspections
The operator must determine and specify the nature
and scope of the required tests as well as the periods
of repeating tests by means of a risk assessment (see
sections 4.2 and 4.3).
The continuing suitability of the anchor point must be
checked at least 1x year by an expert.
Depending on the usage conditions, f.e. frequent
usage, increased wear or corrosion, it might be ne-
cessary to check in shorter periods than one year. The
inspection has also to be carried out after accidents
and special incidents.
The inspection cycles must be specied by the op-
erator.
4.2 Test criteria for the regular visual
inspection by the user
• Completeness of the lifting point
• Complete, readable WLL statements as well as
manufacturer sign.
• Deformation at load bearing components like base
body
• Mechanical damage, like strong notches, especial-
ly in areas where tensile stress occurs.
• Damage maximum until the forged-in patented
wear lenses are reached (Pic. 3).
4.3 Additional test criteria for the
competent person / repair worker
• Reduction of cross-section due to wear >10 %
(see Wear indicators)
• Increase in jaw width due to overload > 10 %
(see marking points for checking dimension of
jaw width).
• Evidence of corrosion (pittings)
• Any other damage at weld seam
• Further checks may be required, depending on the
result of the risk assessment (e.g. testing for cracks
in load-bearing parts / at weld seam).
4.4 Disposal
Dispose worn out components / attachments or
packaging according to the local waste removal
requirements.
