Hendrik Veder Group UK has reinforced its partnership with Lift-Tex to provide businesses with safer, more efficient, and cost-effective heavy lifting solutions. This collaboration will grant industries across the UK—spanning maritime, shipping, construction, oil and gas, and renewables—direct access to Lift-Tex’s advanced Extreema round slings.
As a key supplier of Extreema round slings in the UK, Hendrik Veder Group UK is further establishing itself as a leader in premium heavy lifting solutions. The partnership is particularly significant for the renewable energy sector, where these slings are instrumental in handling and transporting offshore wind farm components, including turbine blades.
Manufactured in the Netherlands, Extreema slings incorporate ‘parallel laid fibre technology’, making them up to eight times stronger than steel on a weight-for-weight basis. They also reduce overall lifting weight by up to 80% compared to wire rope, significantly enhancing safety, flexibility, and cost efficiency.
Bertwin Zonneveld, Managing Director of Hendrik Veder Group UK, emphasized the value of this collaboration:
“This partnership marks a strategic step forward for our customers. By bringing Lift-Tex®’s innovative Extreema slings to the UK market, we provide industries with a lifting solution that is lighter, safer, and more durable than traditional alternatives. Whether serving long-standing marine and shipping clients or supporting the UK’s growing renewable energy infrastructure, this alliance ensures access to the best lifting technologies available.”
Bert Snel, Director of Lift-Tex, highlighted the global impact of this expansion:
“We are committed to supporting lifting requirements worldwide, and our long-term partnership with Hendrik Veder Group UK enables us to do just that. Our Extreema® slings have already demonstrated their effectiveness across Europe, and with Hendrik Veder Group UK’s extensive network, we are confident they will bring significant benefits to UK industries, particularly in the fast-growing renewables sector.”
