Operational from -60°C to +200°C with an innovative overheating indicator:

In the lifting industry there can be no compromise on quality, safety and efficiency are key. RUD ICE chains have merged innovation with practicality, they are not just about strength—they’re about smart safety.

A Colourful Indicator of Safety

The vibrant ICE-Pink colour stands for ‘Innovative Chain Evolution.’ The distinctive pink powder coating isn’t just any coating—it serves as an innovative safety feature which acts as an overheating indicator.

The pink powder coating on the ICE chain indicates overheating, changing colour to alert users when safe temperature limits are exceeded. It transforms from pink to brown and then to black at 300°C, signaling that the chain is unsafe to use.

This innovative feature not only enhances safety by preventing the use of unsafe chains but also extends the life of the equipment by ensuring that it is only used within safe temperature ranges.

Lightweight Yet Powerful

One of the standout features of RUD ICE chain is its weight. A 30% reduction compared to Grade 80 chains makes it easier and safer to handle, without compromising on strength. In fact, these boast a 60% higher working load limit than grade 80 chains, meaning they can handle more demanding tasks with ease.

Built for Extremes

RUD ICE chain’s resilience is unmatched, performing flawlessly in temperatures ranging from -60°C to +300°C. The chain is operational from -60 to + 200°C without any reduction in the WLL, the working load limit is then reduced to 90% from +200°C – +250°C. The chain can operate at +250°C -+300°C reduced to 60% of the WLL.

Whether you’re working in the icy Arctic or the scorching heat of a construction site, these chains maintain their integrity and strength.

This robust performance, combined with their lightweight and colour-changing safety feature, makes RUD ICE chains an indispensable tool in environments that demand reliability and safety.

RUD ICE chain is more than just a lifting tool—it’s an innovative solution designed to offer unparalleled safety and efficiency.
