RUD PowerPoint® Star - PP-S Swivel Lifting Hook

The demand for the safety has increased over the years, and so too has the demand for the safety and function of lifting points. RUD has developed the PowerPoint®-generation to fulfill the demand for a load ring to be able to turn, swivel and rotate during the handling process. The StarPoint Star (PP-S) features a robust pink hook has the ability to pivot in any direction, allowing all common sling types to be quickly and safely attached without using additional hardware (e.g. shackles). The optimized double ball-bearing design allows for jerk-free movement, which prevents the lifting points, as well as the load from being damaged. The double ball-bearing guarantees that even under a full load, the PowerPoint® can be turned in a 90° position from the bolt center line.

Design factor of 4 :1 in any direction
Clear indication of working load limit in metric tons and lbs. for side loading applications
Coated in RUD’s signature highly-visible pink powder coating
A universal connector for different lifting means (for example hooks, eyes, round slings, etc. - without any additional tools, like shackles).
Ability to turn without jerking under full load
Must not damage machine or the lifting mean during turning or moving.
Smallest thread for bolt-on applications. The weld-on design can be welded on the smallest place without pre-treatment.
Enlarged pivoting area 230°
Decreased change of scratching or damaging the load due to more distance between the pivot point and load.
Like all of RUD’s lifting points, the RUD StarPoint swivel lifting hook is 100% electromagnetic crack tested
Operational in temperatures as low as -40°F.

The forged safety latch protects against lateral bending, and the thickened tip, which looks a bit like a cobra head, not only helps secure the latch into place, it resist bending. The cobra head design of the hook is another exceptional safety feature, especially when the user is lifting and moving heavy loads, because the design prevents unintentional hooking out of the lifting means.

All of the PowerPoint® mounting bases, together with associated hook and ring combinations, have Working Load Limit (WLL) ratings equivalent to the market leading RUD VIP sling chain system - therefore offering a 25% increase in the load ratings applicable to equivalently sized Grade 80 chain and components.
