RUD Master links.

Securely connect the lifting means to the crane hook.

RUD master links are equipped with a welded, all-round moveable connector. The advantage: a non-mix-up connection in terms of chain diameter and number of legs. The master link is enhanced by an identification tag (KZA) with integrated patented chain gauge. 

Thanks to a unique product and material portfolio, RUD can supply the matching solution for every purpose of application. This wide portfolio is guaranteed by the material qualities ICE (Grade 120) and VIP (Grade 100). 

What are the selection criteria for master links?

Crane hook size and design.
Number of legs of the lifting means.
Weight of the load to be moved/lifted.

VIP/ICE Master links for 1-, 2- and 4-leg lifting means.

  • Master links with welded, all-round moveable welded connector, therefore only the correct chain diameter and number of legs can be connected.
  • The master links are equipped with an RFID transponder and can be assigned reliably through the clear identification number.
  • Manufactured according to DIN EN 1677-4. Dimensions in accordance with master link shape A according to DIN 5688.

VIP/ICE-Minilifter.

  • Master link with integrated shortening option, especially suitable for 4 mm lifting chain.

  • Ideal for small loads up to 1120 kg (with 2-leg application).
  • RUD Minilifters are equipped with an RFID transponder and can be assigned reliably through the clear identification number.

VIP/ICE-Balancing master link / master link for balancing unit.

  • Balancing master link for lifting means with balancing units.
