HOOKS AND ROLLERS
Towing equipment has played an important part in FERRI’s 50 years history. We have a complete range of towing hooks and rings, rollers and forks, adapted to the operative needs and structural requirements of any vessel. Our standard towing hooks are disc-type and range from 4 to 500 tons. We also offer another range of hooks with hydraulic resetting. These hooks are more compact, saving precious desk space and reducing the need for crew to set them.
Both types of hook offer a series of options such as fixing to the vessel, assisted release systems, automatic release at list limit etc. The range of rollers with forks range up to 500t cable tension. They can be adapted to greater requirements, forms and special sizes. More than 400 vessels successfully employ FERRI towing equipment.

FAIRLEADS AND GUIDES
We have a long experience with this type of equipment. They have been offered by Ferri since more than 50 years ago. From standard equipment to made-to-measure, any type of blocks or snatch-blocks for any use, even under water.
We manufacture fairleads for chains and hawsers with swinging headstocks mounted on bearings or bushes. All FERRI blocks have conical roller bearings specific to the great loads to which they will be submitted. The bearing protection system impedes the entry of water while allowing the escape of gases, thereby guaranteeing a perfect seal. Furthermore, the necks of the pulleys are subjected to a fully automatized process of hardening by electric induction to the values set by the cable manufacturers. These necks are inspected and submitted to tests of hardness.
They have trusted us:
