The shop that built ProFormer Brakes for near 20 years went out of business early in '09. We hope to be back sometime in the future. Please check back for updates. The only brakes remaining in stock are one each: L12118, and U4-4812. They are in Indianapolis, IN. Contact me by email if interested.

You can form 10' of 12ga by yourself in about 15 seconds!
Any gauge ProFormer 6' 8' or 10' brake, plus the 4' 12ga, is a perfect fit for hydraulic assist. Shown is a 10' 16ga brake model L12116. Hydraulics bring up the apron slow enough for complete control - you can stop it anywhere, bump it some more, or go all the way to 135 degrees. And the hydraulics are fast enough that 4 big men could not keep up with it bending even 6' of 12ga. Of course, to manually bend 10' of 16ga or 14ga, not to mention 4' 6' 8' or 10' of 12ga, will take two or more men repeated "hits" hanging off the counter weight arms. This brute force banging on the material is hard on any brake and all men. But, with hydraulics, just push the switch and in one smooth motion and about 15 seconds you have your 90-degree bend. You can do it all day and come back tomorrow for more! Your ProFormer hydraulic assisted brake can be located anywhere in your shop that a 110 volt 30 amp outlet is available. A stop rod and switch for repeat bends is included. Counter weights are also included but not needed for hydraulic operation. To go back to manual operation for a while, install the counter weights, and disconnect the hydraulic rams by simply pulling 2 pins on each end of the brake. Hydraulic assist system adds 500 lbs to the shipping weight of a brake. Warranty on the pump and cylinders is one year if factory housing has not been opened. Cylinders are rated at 2.5 times pump pressure. Hoses are rated at 10 times pump pressure. Your choice of a frame mounted switch or optional foot operated switch. This system can also be added to any existing ProFormer brake listed above. |
