Transporting earth-moving machinery to the job site by heavy goods vehicle is part of the routine in many building projects. However, questions of load securing are not always accorded the appropriate importance – lashing points in particular often provide grounds for criticism. A joint project of Goldhofer AG, Kässbohrer Geländefahrzeug AG and RUD Ketten Rieger & Dietz GmbH u. Co. KG illustrates what a secure lashing solution should really look like. The construction and logistics company Max Wild GmbH is already using these vehicles.

Aalen, September 2025 – Better safety when transporting earth-moving equipment through standard-compliant lashing – this is the joint goal of vehicle manufacturers Goldhofer AG and Kässbohrer Geländefahrzeug AG, sling and lashing equipment specialist RUD Ketten Rieger & Dietz GmbH u. Co. KG, and construction and logistics company Max Wild GmbH. A model project, first presented at bauma 2025, demonstrated how this may be achieved and will continue to serve as an example in the future.

Aalen, July 2025 – The theme of the RUD booth at EMO (22 – 26 September in Hanover, Hall 013, Booth E11) will be efficient lifting technology solutions for the whole of the metalworking industry’s value chain – from raw materials logistics to production and delivery. Alongside the most recent additions to the portfolio such as the ACP-TURNADO and PIP-RAPIDO lifting points and the CCS-FASTLOX clickable clevis shackle, the focus will also be on classics such as the VRS eye bolt.

Aalen, August 2025 – In 2025, RUD Ketten Rieger & Dietz GmbH u. Co. KG is looking back on 150 years of company history. What began in 1875 as a small forge for chains and wire components in the Unterkochen district of the Swabian city of Aalen has developed over one and a half centuries to become an internationally leading provider of chain and drive systems as well as fixtures and fittings. With its capacity for innovation, its quality awareness and a strong set of values, RUD has helped to shape industrial change for generations – and is a reliable partner for forward-looking solutions in a wide variety of sectors to this day.

Aalen, August 2025 – At SPE Offshore Europe (2 to 5 September, Aberdeen, Scotland), RUD is going to focus on marine, offshore and subsea lifting technology solutions. Among other things, the company will present its broad portfolio of DNV-certified products for use in shallow water and the deep sea as well as on board ships, in ports and on offshore platforms. All the presented components have been developed for use under extreme conditions and meet the highest quality and safety requirements – even in changing and extreme weather conditions.
