VLBG
• 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, there
is a danger that the product will be damaged
• The BG/DGUV recommends: For higher dy-
namic loading with a high number of load cycles
(continuous operation), the working load stress
must be reduced according to the driving mecha-
nism group 1Bm (M3 in accordance with DIN EN
818-7). Use a lifting point with a higher working
load limit.
• When attaching and removing the lifting means
(e.g. lifting chains), crushing, shearing, trapping and
impact spots must be prevented.
• Prevent damage being caused to the lifting means
by loading at sharp edged.
• Set the suspension ring of the VLBG in the direction
of force before attaching the lifting means.

• Keep in mind that the lifting means in the
VLBG must be freely movable.
Pic. 2: Use only suitable lifting means for hanging
or hooking into the VLBG
• A bending load of the suspension ring is not per-
mitted!
Pic. 3: The load must move freely and must not be
loaded at edges
• Always completely engage the lifting point.
Pic. 4: The lifting point must be completely screwed in.
