The demand for loads to be turned, swivelled and rotated safely during the handling process of a project has certainly increased over the years. Loads can easily be damaged and lifting systems can be considerably overloaded. Mould and die manufacturers are prime examples of this, when moulds or dies must be flipped the lifting points they use need to swivel and pivot at the same time.
The PowerPoint Star from Rud is an extremely robust lifting point that has the ability to pivot 230° and rotate 360° that allows the lifting and turning of goods to run smoothly, as well as reducing costs to damaged tools.
The PowerPoint Star offers a double ball-bearing system that provides a smooth and efficient swivel action when turning loads and is operational to temperatures as low as -40 degrees.
The forged safety latch protects against lateral bending, as well as the thickened tip of the hook that prevents handling malpractices and resists bending. These features therefore provide an exceptional safety factor, a paramount feature when lifting and moving heavy goods.
The PowerPoint Star has a Clevis Fitting that allows three types of connections into the clevis; chain, hooks or most commonly used a master ring. It therefore provides three alternatives from one component.
