Schechtl HA

Details

Built as a heavy-duty, hand-operated swivel bender, its primary advantage is providing immense bending capacity for long and thick materials without requiring electrical power or compromising on precision

Applications & Best Uses

Heavy-Duty Manual Fabrications: Designed for thick, long sheets, capable of bending materials up to 4 metres long and up to 3.00 mm thick (depending on the model).
Architectural Metalwork: Ideal for forming robust flashings, heavy-gauge roof panels, and custom cladding profiles
Budget-Friendly Production: The perfect high-capacity solution for environments where motorised machines are not recommended or possible

The Schechtl HA advantage

Maximum Power & Sturdiness: As the strongest manual folder in the range, the HA features an incredibly robust construction engineered to withstand heavy use without losing its structural integrity.
Effortless 1-Man Operation: Despite its massive capacity, the HA uses a counterweight to enable smooth, single-person operation with minimal physical effort.
Uncompromised Precision: Delivers exceptional dimensional accuracy, ensuring consistent quality on every fold without compromising on power or application options.
Maintenance-Free: Like all premium Schechtl manual folders, the bearings and guides are maintenance-free, drastically reducing downtime and servicing costs

Standard Configuration

Counterweight-supported bending mechanism to reduce lifting fatigue.
Clamping of the upper beam via an eccentric lever and a foot pedal for hands-free operation.
Quick adjustment of the clamping pressure.
Bending angle stopper for repetitive bends.
Ergonomic, back-friendly working height designed for high convenience and all-day comfort

Tools/Options

Clamping beam tooling

Optional goat’s foot tooling, 93 mm height, for producing boxes and closed forms.
Sharp rail 20 ° with 1, 1.5 or 2mm radius
Round rail with radius from 1.5mm up to 12mm
Refer to images below for all optional tooling
Back gauges

750 mm manual back gauge, operable from the front of the machine with a digital readout and support plates.

Others
