The UKV is a “multi-talent” strong specialist for small batches and one-off production.
Applications & Best uses
- Complex Box Forms: Perfect for fabricating boxes, cassettes, and trays that require bending on all four sides.
- Detailed Architectural Profiles: Used extensively in roof and facade construction for custom flashings and chimney caps.
- Custom Metalwork: Ideal for automotive chassis work, switch boxes, and prototypes where precision joining is required.
The UKV advantage
- Segmented Versatility: Unlike standard folders, the UKV features segmented tools on all three beams (clamping, lower, and bending), offering “XXL” free space for complex geometries.
- Patented Quick-Clamping: Rearrange or remove segments in seconds without any tools or screws, drastically reducing setup times between different profiles.
- Stronger Construction: Compared to the UK series, the UKV features reinforced beam elements, allowing it to handle thicker materials (up to 2.0 mm steel) over longer working lengths.
- Hands-Free Operation: Includes a standard foot pedal for clamping, allowing the operator to use both hands to position the sheet accurately.
- Maintenance-Free: Built with durable steel welded frames and maintenance-free bearings for long-term industrial reliability.
Standard configuration:
- Quick Clamping System: Patented tool-free adjustment for segments on the clamping, lower, and bending beams.
- Quick, tool-free adjustment of the clamping beam clamping pressure.
- Tool-free adjustment for lowering the bending beam.
- Foot Pedal: For hands-free clamping and operation.
- Bending Angle Limitation: A mechanical stop for consistent, recurring bending operations.
- Segment Radius: Standard segments on the clamping beam come with a 1.1 mm radius.
- Storage Box: Integrated tray/box for segment storage, which also serves as a workpiece support.
Tools/Options
- Higher Segments: Upgrade to 140 mm, 160 mm, or even 180 mm high segments for the upper beam for massive box clearance.
- Backgauge Systems: Options for Aluminium T-slot (60–500 mm) or Spur Rack (60–500 mm) for precise repeatability.
- Universal Backgauge Table UA125: A mobile support table for handling larger sheets.
- Window Sill Inserts: Standard (3x) or Variable (6x) versions for specialised architectural work.
- Radius Segments: Exchangeable 2.0 mm or 3.0 mm radius tools for bending sensitive materials without surface damage.
- Castor wheels: make it mobile and roll it into position when needed.
Technical Data

FRIBESCO’s reasons:
Why choose the UKV folder?
✅ Maximum Free Space: Segmented tools on all three beams.
✅ Industrial-Grade Power: Capable of bending up to 2.0 mm steel, offering significantly more capacity than the portable TBS or standard UK models.
✅ Tool-Free Efficiency: The original Schechtl quick-clamping system for all segments.
✅ Mobile Workshop Flexibility: Standard with swivel castors and a locking brake.
✅ Ergonomic Design: The back-friendly working height and standard foot pedal clamp ensure comfortable, one-man operation even for complex tasks.
The Schechtl folder gives professional roofers the edge: faster throughout, consistent accuracy, and long-term reliability.
