RUD is expanding its range of tried-and-tested ACP-TURNADO lifting points to include one designed for maritime environments. The ACP-TURNADO OCEANSTAR is the first lifting point to be certified by DNV for subsea applications. It is therefore ideal for use in offshore structures, such as wind farms and drilling platforms, as well as in shipyards, subsea construction projects and the associated supply industry.
Tried-and-tested lifting and load-handling solutions for the railway industry – ranging from standardised components to fully customised load-handling devices – this is the focus of RUD and RUD+SpanSet Plauen at InnoTrans 2026 (22 to 25 September 2026, Hall 6.2b, Stand 420).
From planning and operation to service – RUD provides support to maritime lifting applications, even in the most challenging environmental conditions. The company will showcase its application and development expertise at SMM 2026 in Hamburg and will present DNV-certified lifting equipment and innovative specialised solutions, including those developed through collaborative partnerships.
RUD Defence will be showcasing lifting means and system solutions for lifting, securing and moving defence equipment under the slogan “Ready when it matters” at the EUROSATORY in Paris from 15 to 19 June 2026. The exhibition stand focuses on bespoke solutions that have already proven their worth worldwide in the most demanding operating conditions.
Transporting earth-moving machinery to the job site by heavy goods vehicle is part of the routine in many building projects. However, questions of load securing are not always accorded the appropriate importance – lashing points in particular often provide grounds for criticism. A joint project of Goldhofer AG, Kässbohrer Geländefahrzeug AG and RUD Ketten Rieger & Dietz GmbH u. Co. KG illustrates what a secure lashing solution should really look like. The construction and logistics company Max Wild GmbH is already using these vehicles.
Aalen, August 2025 – At SPE Offshore Europe (2 to 5 September, Aberdeen, Scotland), RUD is going to focus on marine, offshore and subsea lifting technology solutions. Among other things, the company will present its broad portfolio of DNV-certified products for use in shallow water and the deep sea as well as on board ships, in ports and on offshore platforms. All the presented components have been developed for use under extreme conditions and meet the highest quality and safety requirements – even in changing and extreme weather conditions.
