The VRS eye bolt with a 750kg working load limit and M12x18mm thread is a compact swivel lifting point designed for safe and controlled lifting where accurate load alignment and flexibility are required. Developed by RUD, it is suitable for industrial, engineering, manufacturing and maintenance applications involving light to medium-weight loads.
Unlike conventional DIN 580 eye bolts, the VRS features a distinctive star-shaped design and a fully rotatable load ring that aligns automatically with the direction of force. The lifting ring rotates freely through 360° and pivots through 180°, allowing the full working load limit to be utilised in any pull direction while eliminating the risk of side loading, bending stresses or incorrect alignment.
Manufactured from high-strength forged alloy steel (material 1.6541) and tempered for durability, the VRS eye bolt is 100% electro-magnetic crack-tested in accordance with DIN EN 1677-1. The integrated captive hexagon socket screw allows secure installation into threaded holes, provided the mounting material is at least St37 and the thread bore is countersunk to the nominal thread diameter. Once installed, the lifting point must rotate freely through 360° to ensure correct and safe operation.
Finished in RUD’s fluorescent pink powder coating, the eye bolt provides corrosion resistance and high visibility in demanding industrial environments. The working load limit is clearly marked for all load directions, supporting correct product selection and safe use on site. With a safety factor of 4 and suitability for operation down to -40°C, the VRS eye bolt delivers reliable performance under a wide range of operating conditions.
Compatible with lifting slings, chains and hooks, the 750kg VRS eye bolt is ideal for lifting and positioning tooling, assemblies and components where controlled rotation and directional load control are critical. When used in accordance with applicable standards, inspection regimes and site safety procedures, it supports safe and efficient lifting operations in professional industrial settings.
