Hook in Australia

Written by Darren Grant | 23/1/2019

It is one of the many hot topics within our industry and the world that freight and delivery is increasingly difficult, especially anything manufactured outside of Australia. This has sparked the conversation of increasing Australian manufacturing. 

Here at Reliance Hexham, we believe Australia holds extensive expertise and knowledge when it comes to the manufacturing of specialised products. History has shown that the use of imported products resulted in companies overlooking what is within their own country. 

Here is an example of why to choose Reliance Hexham

The below image is of a 110 tonne hook that was made by Reliance Hexham at our Hexham NSW Australia facility. A customer of Reliance Hexham was originally purchasing their hooks internationally although the delivery time was estimated to be a minimum of 9 months. With current delivery difficulties, this would certainly be more now.  

This customer chose to look within Australia for these hooks to be made. Reliance Hexham had 4 tradesman that had previous experience in making these hooks whilst working as Blacksmiths at Newcastle BHP. These tradesman are familiar names, Ian Tresidder, Neil Brooks, Darren Grant and Peter Aitchison, who continue to work for Reliance Hexham. 

These hooks were made for the company in under 6 months. This is inclusive of proof loading and supplying NATA certification for proof loading and magnetic particle testing. 

This is one of many products that Reliance Hexham have existing experience and knowledge in manufacturing. We hope to help you with your next project.
