RUD StarPoint Swivel Eye Bolt VRS


RUD-Chain Inc has improved on the traditional eyebolt with the development of their swivel eyebolt, the STARPOINT®. The STARPOINT® is the perfect solution to eliminate the unsafe and rigid style eye bolt because it was designed to adjust to the direction of the pull so that the working load limit (WLL) is never diminished.

The first thing most people notice about the RUD STARPOINT® is the distinct florescent pink color and unique shape. The distinct florescent pink powder-coating changes its color when temperatures exceed 200°C. If the STARPOINT® reaches temperatures of 400°C, the color will change to a deep black with small bubbles, indicating that it has been over-heated.

The STARPOINT® is rated the nominal WLL or the working load limit at the “worst case scenario”, so it surpasses the standard eyebolt when it comes to over-all performance and capability.

The unique star-shaped design of the STARPOINT® allows it to be unitized in a way that is not possible with the standard eyebolt. The pull on standard eyebolts is restricted to the plane of the eye but the STARPOINT® VRS adjusts 360° to align with the direction of pull. A non-vertical lift with the standard eyebolt can cause the eyebolt to bend and break and possibly result in damage to the load or injure someone.

The STARPOINT® will cost more than the conventional eyebolt, but is an economically wise choice in comparison to the standard eyebolt. The STARPOINT® is available in a variety of sizes and is priced between a forged eyebolt and a swiveling hoist ring, making it the perfect choice for preventing valuable loads from being damaged and eliminating unsafe lifts.
