It's used to bend steel reinforcing bars (rebar) on construction sites or in workshops. The hydraulic system provides the force to form precise bends quickly and with less manual effort than manual benders.
Capacity varies by model, but small portable hydraulic benders commonly handle rebar from about 6 mm up to 25–32 mm. Check the specific model's technical specifications for the exact diameter range.
Most portable hydraulic rebar benders use an electric motor-driven hydraulic pump (single-phase or three-phase). Some models offer petrol/diesel engine or battery-powered pump options for remote sites. Verify the variant when ordering.
These machines typically provide adjustable bending from 0° up to 180°, with stops or angle gauges for repeatable bends. Exact angle control and preset options depend on the model.
Most portable hydraulic rebar benders are designed for single-operator use, though an assistant may help with handling long or heavy bars for safety and accuracy.
Yes. Portable models are compact and often include carry handles or wheels. Weight varies by configuration (commonly from around 40 kg to over 100 kg), so check the weight and lifting requirements for your model.
Bending speed depends on rebar diameter and hydraulic pump capacity. Typical cycle times range from a few seconds to around 10 seconds per bend. Heavy diameters require longer cycle times.
Most machines come with a standard set of dies to cover common rebar sizes. Additional or replacement dies can usually be ordered separately to support other diameters or special profiles.
Common safety features include emergency stop, protective guards/shields around moving parts, overload protection on the hydraulic system, and secure clamping to prevent slippage. Always follow the operator manual and use personal protective equipment.
Routine maintenance includes checking and topping up hydraulic oil, inspecting hoses and fittings for leaks, cleaning debris from the machine, lubricating pivot points, and replacing worn dies or seals. Follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule.
Hydraulic control combined with mechanical angle stops or digital angle settings provides consistent and repeatable bends. Accuracy depends on setup, die selection, and operator technique.
Warranties vary by manufacturer but commonly include 12 months for parts and workmanship. Many suppliers offer spare parts, technical support, and repair services—confirm warranty length and support options before purchase.
Portable rebar benders from reputable manufacturers often carry CE, ISO, or other regional certifications. Check the product listing or ask the supplier for certification documents if required for your project or region.
Contact the supplier or manufacturer with your machine model and serial number. Provide the part description or part number if available. Many suppliers keep common dies and wear parts in stock for quick shipment.
Key factors include the maximum rebar diameter you need to bend, available power source at job sites, portability (weight and wheels), bending angle control, the availability of dies, safety features, warranty and service network, and overall budget.
