RUD will be exhibiting at BAUMA 2025.

Bauma is the world's leading trade show for Construction, Building Materials, Mining Machinery, and Equipment. The 34th event will be held from 7 to 13 April at the Neue Messe München Exhibition Centre in Munich, Germany.

RUD Group will be exhibiting at 2 locations:

• RUD Ketten in the Open Area North on Booth FN.1019/5 with a range of innovative solutions in lifting, lashing and load-securing categories
• RUD/Erlau in the A5 Area on Booth A5.202 with tyre protection chain solutions

Safer solutions in construction

The construction industry still uses self-made and improvised anchor points, which can deform after first use and pose significant safety risks. RUD’s DGUV-certified lifting points present a safe and standard-compliant alternative with nominal load capacities and an optimised design. RUD will demonstrate the difference between safe lifting points and other products.

ACP-TURNADO: Intelligent technology for safe lifting

RUD will exhibit its popular ACP-TURNADO anchor point. The ACP-TURNADO has an integrated spring mechanism that automatically aligns itself in the direction of pull and prevents the bar from getting caught in an unfavourable position under transverse load.

Truss solutions for large construction machinery

RUD will also exhibit modular lifting beam solutions for lifting and positioning large machine components in partnership with Spain-based OX Lifting, which is suitable for asymmetric loads.

Digital Tools

In keeping up with digital transformation across many industries, RUD will demonstrate its chain sling calculator, the Configurator, which is a very useful tool for calculating ideal chain slings and lifting points. RUD will also demonstrate the BUDDYtron, which can be used to retrieve technical data and operating instructions via NFC scanning.

Demonstration: Load securing

In partnership with Goldhofer, RUD will demonstrate load securing using a Kässbohrer Powerbully lashed to a low-loader on lashing chains. This demonstration will be done with a prototype developed in collaboration with the Southern German Bauma Alliance, which is already under consideration by construction and logistics companies.

RUD Australia celebrated 40 years in November 2024. From humble beginnings in 1984 in a garage on the south side of Brisbane to a 6000m2 facility in Larapinta QLD, including an office and warehouse in Perth, we have come a long way as one of the most trusted companies in the lifting, lashing and material handling industry.

Our journey continues:

• 1984 - Jonathan Street - RUD Australia started in November 1984 in Peter Nuttall Senior’s garage in Macgregor, Brisbane.
• 1991 - Success Street - RUD Australia built a 1500m2 facility at Success Street in Acacia Ridge.
• 2005 - West Link Place - RUD Australia moved into a 3000m2 facility at West Link Place, Richlands.
• 2008 - Bassendean, Perth - We expanded into Bassendean, Perth, with an office and warehouse to service the growing WA market.
• 2013 - Commerce Place - In 2013, we invested significantly in our long-term future with a 6000m2 facility that currently includes our head office, engineering, warehouse, and fabrication divisions.

We celebrated our 40th anniversary with a gala dinner event in Brisbane. The evening was filled with fun, entertainment, camaraderie and speeches, going down memory lane of the 40-year journey.

With a 40-year history in Australia, RUD is committed to excellence in chain technology. We strive to be at the forefront of technology and innovation, such as our latest 9-axis robotic welder, which will drive our growth through continuous improvement for the future.
