Our Double Direction Mesh Benders were developed in response to the growing precast box culvert market. The standard bender is designed to bend Welded Wire Reinforcing without obstructions in the bending deck through D21 on 2″ spacing or D32 on 4″ spacing.
Double Direction Wire Mesh Bender

Technical Capabilities
Double Direction Wire Mesh Bender
Double Benders may be loaded from either side. To make the first bend, the Welded Wire Reinforcing mat is placed in position for bending. After securing the mesh between the deck and mandrel, the bending arm is raised and overbends the sheet to form a resting bend of 90°.
To accomplish the second bend, simply move the mesh mat forward (there is no need to raise the mandrel) on the unobstructed bending deck, to the second position. The same method for bending is repeated with the exception that the bend is from the opposite bending arm. After the arm is retracted, the cage will have a “U” configuration.
The cage is extracted from the bender by simply raising the mandrel to the full 90° position. The arm will completely clear the bending deck for easy removal of the cage.
Built with manual hydraulic controls as standard. The operator is in complete command of the machine.
The bending mandrel is safely locked in place by the manually controlled hydraulic locking cylinder. The mandrel is positioned automatically and correctly for each bend.
