2 VRBK-FIX
Before initial usage of the RUD-VRBK-FIX,
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.
RUD-llifting points VRBK-FIX must only be used by
instructed and competent persons considering BGR
500 / DGUV 100-500, and outside Germany noticing
the country specific statutory regulations.
2 Intended use of the VRBK-FIX
RUD-Lifting points VRBS-FIX must only be used for
the assembly at the load or at lifting means.
They are designed and intented 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
specified case of operation.
3 Assembly- and instruction manual
3.1 General information
• Capability of temperature usage:
When used at higher temperatures the working
load limit (WLL) of the lifting point must be reduced
as follows:
- -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 VRBK-FIX 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.
• VRBK-FIX will be delivered with a pink powder
coated lifting ring.
• VRBS-FIX includes a protected positioned clam-
ping spring, inside the weld-on block. The spring
holds the weld-on blocks together with the ring and
creates at the same time a radial clamping function.
• VRBK-FIX will be delivered as a complete assem-
bled unit.
3.2 Hints for the assembly
Basically essential:
• The material construction to which the lashing point
will be attached should be of adequate strength to
withstand forces during lifting without deformation.
The weld-on material must be suitable for welding
and the contact areas must be free from dirt, oil,
colour, ect. The material of the forged welding block
is: S355J2+N (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 flipping 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:
Number of load bearing strands:
Symmetric Unsymmetric
two leg 2 1
three / four leg 3 1
Chart 1: Load bearing strands (compare to chart 2)
• Check finally the correct assembly (see chapter 4,
Inspection criteria).
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 certified welder.
Verification of the used weld-on material must be
checked with the supplier of the welding electrodes.
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 stra
WLL=G
n x cos ß

VRBK-FIX
HINTS
• Never weld at the quenched and tem-
pered ring!
• Weld all seams at the same temperature.
1. Check before initial appending of the VRBK-FIX,
the position of the weld-on blocks to each other,
that means the base area must be at the same
level.
2. Append weld-on blocks.
3. Check function of the ring.
The ring must be able to pivot 270°. If necessary
please correct.
4. Once appending and checking of the function
have been carried please finish the root run. The
outside positioned weld layers must be carried out
first. The described welding sequences must be
observed compulsive.
5. Begin at starting point S1 and weld subsequently
the sections 1-4 (Picture 1).
6. Then weld the opposite side identically (starting
point S2 and chapter 5-8).
7. Afterwards close the rot pass at the inside areas.
(chapter 9-10 and 11-12)
Pic. 1: Welding sequence of the root run (S=Starting point
8. Finally please let the parts cool down.
9 Remove any welding mistakes and dirt at the root
weld before applying the cover weld seams.
10.Subsequently please weld the closure welds.
Start at the inside. The described welding se-
quences must be observed compulsive. Chose
type and dimension of weld seam from picture 3
and chart 4.
11.Begin at starting point S3 and weld subsequently
the chapters 1-6 (picture 2)
12.Please weld then the opposite side identically.
(tarting point S4 and chapter 7-12)
HINT
Please adhere the requested weld seam
thickness in any cases. Any change can
result in a malfulction of the ring latch.
Pic. 2: Sequence of closure welding (S=Starting point)
13.Please check by a competent person after
welding the ongoing usage of the weld-on lifting
point (see chapter 4, Inspection criteria).
HINT:
By the position of the weld-seam (HY-weld
circumferential) the following requirements
will be observed: DIN 18800 steel construc-
tions requires: at outdoor buildings or when
strong corrosion must be expected weld
seams must be carried out as continuous
fillet weld seams.

3.4 User instruction
• Check frequently and before each initial operation
the whole lashing point in regard of linger ability as
a lifting mean, regarding corrosion, wear, deforma-
tion etc. (see chapter 4, Inspection criteria).
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.

Chart 2: WLL overview
• Please check carefully the wear indicator markings
of the weld-on lashing point (see pic. 4 and pic. 5):
Pic. 4 and 5: Wear indicators
• Please note that the lashing mean must be free mo-
veable in the VRBK-FIX. When lifting means (f.e.
lifting chain) are hinged or unhinged, no pinching,
shearing or joint spots must occure during the
handling.
• Avoid damage of lashing means resulting from
sharp edges.
• If RUD-VRBK-FIX 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)
Usage permitted:
no wear marks
visible
Use prohibited:
Replacement criteria rea-
ched.
Material all the way down to
the wear lenses has gone
3.5 Hints for regular inspection
In time periods complying to the need or usage, a
technical expert must control at least once per year
the appropriateness of the lifting point. This inspec-
tion must also be done after each event of damage
or special incident.
4 Inspection criteria
Observe and control the following points before each
initial operation, in regular time intervals, after the
assembly and after special incidents:
• Completeness of the lifting point
• Complete, readable WLL statements as well as
manufacturer sign.
• Deformation at load bearing components like base
body and ring.
• Mechanical damage, like strong notches, especially
in areas where tensile stress occurs.
• Reduction of cross-section due to wear >10 %
• Evidence of corrosion (pittings)
• Evidence of cracks
• Cracks or other damages at weld seam
