RUD ACP-TURNADO

The RUD ACP Turnado is an advanced rotating lifting point designed for high-performance load handling in dynamic industrial environments. Engineered with a 360° swivel mechanism, it enables smooth rotation under load, eliminating torque transfer and reducing wear on slings, chains, or cables during lifting, positioning, or alignment tasks. Available in capacities ranging from 1 t to 50 t working load limits, the ACP Turnado complies with ASME and DIN/EN standards, ensuring safe operation in sectors like construction, energy, and heavy logistics where precision load rotation is critical. The ACP Turnado is a versatile device compatible with a wide range of industrial equipment.

How Does the RUD ACP Turnado Work?

The ACP Turnado integrates a sealed ball-bearing swivel spring mechanism that allows unrestricted rotation even under full load. When attached to cranes, hoists, or lifting beams, the device’s forged alloy steel body and hardened bearing raceway distribute forces evenly, preventing side-load stresses. The integrated safety latch secures the hook or shackle, while the rotation feature lets operators adjust loads mid-lift without twisting rigging equipment. This minimizes downtime caused by tangled chains or misaligned loads, particularly in confined workspaces.

Features

• 360° Rotation Under Load: Smooth swivel action reduces rigging wear and improves positioning accuracy.
• High-Capacity Design: Rated for 1 t to 50 t WLL, with custom configurations available for extreme-duty applications.
• Sealed Bearing System: Protects against dust, moisture, and debris for longevity in harsh environments.
• Global Compliance: Meets ASME and DIN/EN standards for load rotation equipment.
• Corrosion Resistance: Zinc-nickel plating or stainless steel options for chemical-heavy or marine settings.
• Universal Compatibility: Works with hooks, shackles, and lifting beams via standardized bore and pin sizes.

Industrial Applications

Boasting RUD’s ingenious spring mechanism with a high working load limit, the ACP Turnado is engineered for industries requiring precise load manipulation and rotation:

• Construction & Civil Engineering: Aligning prefabricated structures, steel girders, or machinery during installation.
• Wind Energy: Positioning turbine blades or nacelles without twisting suspension cables.
• Shipbuilding & Offshore: Rotating heavy components during assembly or drydock repairs.
• Automotive Manufacturing: Adjusting large parts (e.g., chassis, engines) on production lines.
• Mining & Heavy Transport: Managing loads on uneven terrain where alignment adjustments are frequent.
