Rockford, Illinois-based The Caldwell Group Inc.<\/a> has added to its RUD In-Stock range with popular products such as the ACP-Turnado Automatic Center Lifting Point and VRS Swivel Eyebolts \u2014 bringing the total number of stocked lifting point styles and sizes to more than 170 stock keeping units (SKUs).<\/p>\n

Caldwell<\/a> partners with the RUD Group to unite their sales and marketing activities in North America for RUD material handling and lifting devices within a common organization. The RUD portfolio includes slings and lifting points for the most complex tasks for integration into almost any application.<\/p>\n

A lifting point is the connection between the lifting gear and the load.<\/p><\/div>\n

A lifting point is the connection between the lifting gear and the load. It connects the load with the lifting gear both during lifting and rotation as well as during turning and movement of loads. Lifting points include ring lifting lugs, eyebolts, flanges, etc., that the sling is attached to by using hooks, shackles, or other connection elements.<\/p>\n

Caldwell<\/a>\u2019s In-Stock program features about 500 items that are on the shelf, many of which ship within one business day \u2014 for free \u2014 with no additional charges added to the invoice. In addition to RUD lifting points, bolstered inventory levels cover below-the-hook lifters, such as lifting beams; construction lifters, such as barrier grabs, pipe lifters; forklift attachments, such as fork booms, extensions, drum lifters; plus, Renfroe plate clamps. Customers can see current In-Stock items here: https:\/\/www.caldwellinc.com\/instock<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cStocked inventory matters in our industry,\u201d said Doug Stitt, president and CEO at Caldwell<\/a>. \u201cAnd we are responding to serve distributors better. Our In-Stock program makes us more efficient, smarter, and better prepared to serve customers than ever before because it forces us to focus on what matters \u2014 supporting distributors.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"

The RUD VRS-F features a \u2018key\u2019 that is built to fit into the top hex of the bolt to tighten it.<\/p><\/div>\n

Also part of the ever-expanding RUD In-Stock program are remotely operated vehicle (ROV) hooks. Access to ROV hooks is important to major subsea, and oil and gas, contractors for utilization in multi-million-dollar projects to handle valuable loads in hazardous environments, often many miles offshore and up to water depths of 10,000 ft. Side pull load rings, center pull hoist rings, swivel eye nuts, swivel eye bolts, steel eye bolts, load rings, and fall protection points are among other products also available to the above shipping terms.<\/p>\n

Jay Schroeder, regional sales manager (RUD west), said: \u201cWhen someone needs it, they need it now. Many times, you can\u2019t anticipate when you have a failure or an emergent need, and it is important to keep the job running.\u201d<\/p>\n

For large orders, or known scheduled replenishment orders, Caldwell<\/a> distributors should consult their assigned customer service representative, so they can be sure to respond to unusual demand as quickly as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
