RUD India’s Lifto Roto Beam is a versatile load turning device and load lifting machine designed to handle both vertical lifts and precise beam tilt operations in one integrated system. As lifting equipment, it combines a synchronized trolley with RUD’s patented TECDOS chain drive to deliver smooth rotation and tilting, eliminating the risks of angular lifts with conventional chain slings. Whether you need to invert heavy assemblies or rotate load-bearing components, the Lifto Roto Beam streamlines every step of your material-handling workflow.
Specify your beam dimensions and load requirements, and our application engineers will tailor the Lifto Roto Beam configuration to suit your needs. From on-site trials to full installation support, RUD India delivers the lifting equipment you need, when you need it.
Simply put, a load turning device lets you rotate or tilt a suspended load without touching the ground again. Instead of landing the load, re-rigging, and lifting a second time, the device handles the rotation while the load is still in the air. It sits between the crane hook and the load, and the operator controls the movement directly. It's a straightforward concept, but in practice it saves a significant amount of time and keeps workers away from a load that would otherwise need manual repositioning.
When you tilt a load using a conventional chain sling setup, you get an angular lift. That puts uneven stress on both the rigging and the load itself, and it's one of those risks that's easy to underestimate until something goes wrong. A load turning device keeps the crane lift vertical while rotation happens separately, so the forces stay predictable throughout. Beyond safety, the time savings add up fast. Facilities handling large components daily will notice the difference in cycle times within the first week of switching over.
The Lifto Roto Beam handles both lifting and tilting in one system, so you're not juggling multiple attachments for a single job. The TECDOS chain drive pairs with a pocket wheel designed to eliminate slip during rotation, which gives the operator real control rather than just approximate control. A center gear motor takes care of span adjustment through synchronized trolley movement, so the beam can adapt to different load sizes without manual reconfiguration. For facilities doing this kind of work repeatedly, that combination of precision and flexibility makes a noticeable difference on the floor.
The most obvious benefit is worker safety. Manual handling of heavy loads introduces risk that simply doesn't need to exist when the right equipment is available. But there's more to it than that. Heavy duty lifting equipment also protects the load itself. Coils, dies, transformers, and structural components are expensive, and rough handling causes damage that shows up either immediately or much later as a quality issue. Industries like steel, automotive, and power generation run on tight schedules, and equipment that handles repeat heavy lifts reliably keeps those schedules from slipping.
The TECDOS system uses a frequency-controlled drive that rotates loads around their center of gravity at a smooth, steady pace. There's no sudden jerk at the start or end of the rotation, which matters a lot when you're handling something expensive or structurally sensitive. In the Lifto Roto Beam specifically, the chain and pocket wheel work together to prevent slip during the rotation cycle. That's important because slip is where control breaks down. Soft start and stop behaviour throughout the movement keeps the operator in charge of what's happening, rather than reacting to it.
