Engineering detail
Hydraulic clamping and folding beams, integrated safety guarding and practical backstop positioning — engineered for accurate, repeatable box and pan work on the shop floor.
Hydraulic-operated clamping and folding beams provide consistent and accurate bends, ensuring flawless results across all projects.
Designed with operator safety in mind — optoelectrical side guard fences create a secure working environment.
A push/pull backstop with a 500 mm stroke allows smooth and efficient material positioning, optimising workflow and productivity.
Operate with ease using a selector switch or foot pedal control — giving operators maximum flexibility and precision during use.
An adjustable manual angle stop allows for a wide range of folding configurations, enhancing flexibility for custom projects.
Each machine comes equipped with segmented top tooling, making it suitable for handling multiple bending and forming tasks with ease.
Cost-effective folding
Unlock precision and efficiency with the HF range — an affordable yet powerful solution for high-performance sheet metal folding.
Designed as a cost-effective alternative to press brakes, the HF series delivers exceptional folding capabilities with fully adjustable manual settings. Engineered for industries that require accuracy, durability and flexibility, these machines provide reliable performance without high investment costs. Ideal for fabrication workshops, metalworking specialists and manufacturers looking to streamline production while maintaining top-tier quality.
Hydraulic folding suits panel work that never justifies a full press brake — length capacity and beam tonnage follow your longest blank sizes. Browse press brake ranges when angle bending replaces folding, fabrication installations from similar UK workshops, and the applications hub for typical sheet metal workflows.
