Wide Bed Traveling Gantry Straightening Press

For Straightening Plates and Weldments

Our custom traveling gantry straightening presses and wide bed plate straightening presses feature three moving axes (X, Y, Z) for straightening large plates, castings, weldments, and burned shapes.

These sturdy machines are rigid enough to maintain full tonnage across the entire bed. The three axes of movement provide full ram coverage of the bed, eliminating the need to frequently reposition heavy workpieces.

  • The operator’s control station travels with the gantry
  • Hydraulic motor-powered rack and gear drive for both X and Y axes
  • Ram stroke control to ±.001″ minimizes the need for highly-skilled operators
  • Optional in-bed powered forklifts to ease anvil block repositioning
