Metal fabrication is a crucial industry in the construction and manufacturing sectors, as it involves shaping, cutting and forming metal materials into various forms to meet specific requirements. In recent years, the industry has undergone significant technological advancements, and one such tool that has revolutionized the way metal fabrication is performed is the Bendmak steel beam rotator.
Bendmak steel beam rotators are advanced metal fabrication tools that allow for easy and efficient handling of heavy steel beams during the cutting and welding process. These rotators come in various sizes, types and capacities, making them suitable for handling beams of different dimensions and weights. These rotators eliminate the need for an overhead crane, forklifts or other methods of lifting and rotating the beam for manual processing.
The primary function of a steel beam rotator is to rotate the beam 360 degrees, providing the operator with easy access to all sides of the beam, and ensuring that the welding, drilling, layout, coping and many more processes can be handled safely, evenly and efficiently. The rotators also come equipped with a hydraulic system that enables the operator to adjust the height of the beam, making it easier to access specific areas of the beam.
Release the Crane!: Probably the busiest piece of equipment in an y structural fabricating shop is the overhead crane. With the addition of the Bendmak Beam Rotators the Crane is release to perform other task such as loading finished product on a truck for delivery or moving raw material to the drilling lines in the shop.
Improved Productivity: Steel beam rotators have been shown to increase productivity by reducing the time required to complete a welding job. The ability to rotate the beam and adjust its height eliminates the need for manual handling, which can be time-consuming, unsafe and labor-intensive.
Enhanced Safety: Handling heavy steel beams can be dangerous, and the use of steel beam rotators eliminates the need for manual handling, reducing the risk of injury to workers.
Improved Welding Quality: The ability to rotate the beam and access all sides of the beam ensures that the welding process is performed comfortably, evenly and efficiently, resulting in a higher-quality finished product and more throughput from welders who are now easily able to position the beam or section for a comfortable welding position.
Increased Flexibility: Steel beam rotators are versatile tools that can be used for a variety of metal fabrication tasks, making them a valuable addition to any metal fabrication shop that can not only be used for welding operations but also for manual coping needs, layout/markup and even painting applications.
Decreased Productivity: Not using steel beam rotators can result in decreased productivity, as manual handling of heavy steel beams can be time-consuming and labor-intensive not to mention the lost productivity from your fabricators and welders while they are waiting for overhead crane availability.
Increased Risk of Injury: Manual handling of heavy steel beams can increase the risk of injury to workers, and the use of steel beam rotators eliminates this risk by being able to rotate and lift the beam in a variety of positions without ever having to re-rig the beam.
Poor Welding Quality: Without the ability to rotate the beam and access all sides of the beam, the welding process may not be performed evenly and efficiently. Welding positions that are uncomfortable or upside down may just simply result in a lower-quality finished product and required re-work.
Bendmak's Steel Beam Rotators are advanced metal fabrication tools that have revolutionized the way metal fabrication is performed in the structural fabrication industry. With their ability to increase productivity, enhance safety, improve welding quality, and increase flexibility, Bendmak's steel beam rotators are a valuable addition to any metal fabrication shop. By investing in a Bendmak steel beam rotator, metal fabrication companies can stay ahead of the curve and continue to deliver high-quality products to their customers.
