RUD Safety in Colour: RUD’s Innovative ICE Chain

October 9, 2024

RUD ICE Chain Pink Powder Coating Acts as Overheating Indicator

In an industry where safety is paramount for both the operators of heavy lifting equipment and the items being lifted, it is essential to provide high-quality products that incorporate innovative safety features.

One such innovation is RUD’s ICE chain, renowned for its distinctive pink powder coating. This isn’t just any coating—it’s a revolutionary safety feature.

The pink powder coating on the ICE chain acts as an overheating indicator, essential for ensuring the safety and longevity of the chain. When exposed to high temperatures, the coating serves as a visual cue, changing color to alert users when the chain has exceeded safe temperature limits. The transformation from pink to brown, and subsequently to black, signals that the chain has reached or surpassed 300°C, marking it as unsafe to use.

This innovative feature not only enhances safety by preventing the use of compromised chains but also extends the life of the equipment by ensuring that it is only used within safe temperature ranges. The ICE chain’s color-changing technology is a testament to how simple, yet effective solutions can lead to significant improvements in industrial safety practices.

RUD ICE chain ideal for offshore polar & Arctic projects due to extreme resistance to temperatures.
