NEW VLBG PLUS NOW OFFERS 45% HIGHER WORKING LOAD LIMIT (M8-M30)
Lifting and lowering of loads in subsea operations is one of the most common tasks required in the whole life cycle of an offshore oil and gas field. During the drilling, field development, and production phases, everything used and deployed underwater needs to be transported, handled, installed, and - when required - removed for maintenance, repair, and replacement. Equipment and tools need to be carried down to the seabed and lifted back to the surface when the work is done. All this requires the use of reliable and safe rigging equipment, such as slings, hooks, and lifting attachments (shackles, eyebolts, pad eyes, etc.).
The ever popular RUD VLBG load ring has been developed to offer the new VLBG Plus. The innovative VLBG Plus now includes RUD’s robust ICE- Bolt. The ICE-Bolt is made from their revolutionary patented fine grain steel which is operational to temperatures as low of -60°C.
Lifting points are often used for turning, rotating and tilting which adds a considerable risk to the lift. When lifts are turned under full load it results in high friction between the bolt head and the rotating connecting element, which subsequently can lead to the opening of the bolt mid lift which can occur with DIN 580 / standard eye bolts. However this does not happen with the new RUD VLBG plus.
The VLBG Plus bolt offers a considerable safety feature to the operator and equipment being lifted; it will stay firmly fastened under full loads, vertically or horizontally. The ICE-Bolt is quick and easy to install and assembly is possible with a flat/ ring wrench or Allen key.

The VLBG plus offers an impressive 45% higher working load limit (M8- M30) compared to the VLBG. It rotates 360º and the suspension ring pivots 180º. The clamping spring works as a noise reduction function and holds the suspension ring in the requested position. A clear marking of the minimum working load limit for all loading directions is also highlighted on the load ring.
Complex lifts where the load has to be manoeuvred and tilted in all directions can be safely and effectively done with the use of the VLBG-Plus load ring. The VLBG Plus can be used across a
variety of working environments from engineering, construction, rail, offshore, handling and MOD projects to name a few.
