When transporting heavy machinery and cargo, secure and reliable lashing points are critical. These critical components not only guarantee the safety of goods during transit but also minimise potential damage and costs. In addition, appropriately secured loads significantly reduce the risk of accidents caused by shifting cargo, protecting drivers, passengers, and other road users*.

The Importance of Secure Lashing During Transport
Imagine a scenario where a load shifts unexpectedly during transport in your heavy vehicle. Not only could it damage the cargo itself, but it also poses a significant risk of accidents for drivers, passengers, and other road users. This is why proper load restraint using certified lashing equipment, as mandated by the Australian Load Restraint Guide, is absolutely crucial.
RUD: A Global Leader in Lashing Solutions
RUD is a world leader in the lifting and lashing industry and offers a comprehensive selection of lashing points with capacities ranging from 3,000 to 32,000 daN. These lashing solutions cater to diverse sectors, including the lashing of heavy and large loads in cargo transportation, vehicle transport, railway operations, and construction equipment.
Uncompromising Quality and Compliance
RUD takes quality and compliance seriously. All the RUD lashing points undergo rigorous 100% crack testing and adhere to the strictest quality control procedures. This ensures that you receive reliable and compliant products that meet the demands of heavy vehicle transport.
Flexibility and Adaptability for Optimised Loading and Unloading
When it comes to efficiency, RUD's lashing points are designed for unmatched flexibility during loading and unloading operations. The compact designs with large eye diameters allow greater versatility when using different lashing equipment. The diverse welding surfaces also enable easy and seamless integration into the truck or trailer chassis during the build process.
For instance, the RUD OPTILASH-CLICK system stands out for its ability to be moved along the chassis, reducing the required number of lashing points. This translates to cost savings and a lighter weight for your heavy vehicle.
