damage
- Emergency shutoff on the engine air intake allows bending machine
operator to instantly stop the engine in case flammable or explosive
gases are present in the air
- Heavy steel plate in front of the operator platform protects
the operator from the danger of hydraulic leaks or burst hydraulic
hoses
- Instruments, gauges and controls are located directly in front
of the operator for easy use
- Polyurethane lined bending die sets provide smooth, non scarring
surfaces for bending bare or pre-coated pipe. Replacement polyurethane
shells are available at reasonable cost

Internal Bending Mandrels 
PROLINE Pipe Bending Mandrels
are a vital piece of equipment for any pipe bending operation. Using
the latest technologies and materials, PROLINE mandrels are guaranteed
to withstand the extreme forces of bending. Our unique wedge design
allows smooth bends to be made while preventing pipe buckling and
shape distortion of higher grades of pipe.
PROLINE’s self-centering / no-roll technology
insures that the mandrel will always stay centered in the pipe.
Designed and engineered for a one-man operation, PROLINE mandrels
come in hydraulic or pneumatic wedge styles. Comes in a variety
of sizes for different pipe diameters.
Features:
- Extremely powerful large diameter cylinders
- Polyurethane-coated backing bars, pads and wheels for the protection
of internal coated pipes
- Can be used with X65 to X80+ grade pipe
- Conversion kits available to adjust for different pipe size
in range
- Self propelled air motor (some hydraulic motor driven) - 20"
and larger
- Fast Action – retracts, expands and travels quickly
- Rugged and built for long life
- Very low maintenance
