The RUD Chain, Inc. VRS STARPOINT is a star-shaped lift point that spins 360° in force direction. It features a captive bolt, which means it cannot come out of the load during a lift. There is a “key,” which is used just like an Allen wrench. You put the key into the head of the bolt, and then, the bolt into the load. To tighten the lifting point, you rotate it in a clockwise fashion. Once the bolt is tight on the load, you remove the key. The ring will swivel independent of the bolt because the key has been removed. This ensures the bolt will not back out of the load during an overhead lift. These lifting points have been very popular in moving motors, gear boxes, and other places where you only need one lifting point and not four. While the Starpoint can be used in conjunction with four lift points, a lot of times, this product is used for single-point lifts. Additionally, these RUD bolt-on lifting points can be used if you need a point to swivel, or to replace a shouldered eye bolt.
