2VRBS-FIX
Before initial usage of the RUD-VRBS-FIX,
please read carefully the safety instruc-
tions. Make sure that you have understood
all subjected matters. Non-observance
can lead to serious personal injuries and
material damage and eliminates warranty.
1 Safety instructions
ATTENTION
Wrong assembled or damaged lifting
points as well as improper use can
lead to injuries of persons and dama-
ge of objects when load drops.
Please inspect all lifting points before each
use.
RUD-Lifting points VRBS-FIX must only be used by
instructed and competent persons considering DGUV
100-500 / BGR 500 and outside Germany noticing the
country specic statutory regulations.
2 Intended use of the VRBS-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 for the hereby
described usage and operation purpose.
3 Assembly- and instruction manual
3.1 General information
• Capability of temperature usage:
As of 07/2019: RUD-Lifting points VRBS-FIX are sui-
table for the temperature range from -40°C up to 400°C.
Up to 07/2019: RUD-Lifting points VRBS-FIX are sui-
table for the temperature range from -20°C up to 400°C.
When used at higher temperature the working load
limit (WLL) of the lifting point must be reduced as
follows:
-40°C/-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!
In the unloaded state, VRBS-FIX anchor points
together with the load can be stress relieved by
heat treating (e.g. welded construction) once.
Temperature: < 600°C (one hour maximum). After
stress-relieving heat treatment (< 600°C), however,
the spring force is no longer usable.
• RUD-lifting points VRBS-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.
• VRBS-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.
• VRBS-FIX will be delivered as a complete
assembled unit.
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 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 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
Chart 1: Load bearing strands (compare to chart
2)
• Check nally the correct assembly (see chapter 4,
test 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 certied welder.
Verication of the used weld-on material must be
checked with the supplier of the welding electrodes.
HINTS
• Never weld at the quentched and
tempered ring!
• Weld all seams at the same temperature.
• The pre-heating temperature for the
welding of the VRBS-FIX 31.5 t, 50 t
and 100 t must be between 150°C and
170°C.
1. Check before initial appending of the VRBS-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 180°. If necessary please correct.
4. Remove any welding mistakes and dirt at the root
weld before applying the cover weld seams.
5. Weld blocks on.
Choose type of weld seam and size according to
picture 3 and chart 4.
6. 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 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 instructions
• Check frequently and before each initial operation
the whole lifting point in regard of linger ability as a
lifting mean, regarding corrosion, wear, deformati-
on 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.
• Please check carefully the wear indicator markings
of the weld-on lifting point (see picture 1):
Usage permitted:
no wear marks
visible
Use prohibited:
Replacement criteria rea-
ched. Material all the way
down to the wear lenses
has gone.
Picture 1: Wear indicators
• Please note that the lifting mean must be free
moveable within the weld-on lifting point VRBS-
FIX. When lifting means (sling chains) are hinged
or unhinged, no pinching, shearing or joint spots
must occure during the handling.
• Avoid damage of lifting means resulting from sharp
edges.
• If RUD-VRBS-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)
3.5 Hints for regular inspection
In time periods complying to the need or usage, a
technical expert must control at least once a year the
appropriateness of the anchor point. This inspection
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
as-sembly 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, especial-
ly in areas where tensile stress occurs.
• Reduction of cross-section due to wear >10 %
• Evidence of corrosion (pitting)
• Evidence of cracks
• Cracks or other damages at weld seam
