 Special steel product fabricator Formaco, has recently signed a contract with Irizar Forge, the international rebranding of Spanish heavy-lift hook manufacturer Forjas Irizar, to become the firm’s Dutch distributor of forged lifting products.

According to the Dutch company, the collaboration fits with Formaco’s aim of being able to offer a total package in the field of specialised heavy casting and forging works for offshore, shipbuilding, the dredging industry, machinery, pumps, construction, the petrochemical industry and builders of hoisting machines.

“We missed this package in our overall picture: high quality forged and processed lifting hooks and composite crane lifting blocks with a high lifting capacity,” said Formaco general manager Robert Heester. “With the collaboration with the Spanish family company Irizar Forge, we can now offer this package to our customers. Irizar – hooks are manufactured for a lifting capacity and anchoring up to 1500t safe working load (SWL) and a forging weight of 9000kg. The SWL will even be extended to 4000t as from 2015, with a forging weight up to 20,000kg.”
