FAQs

What is an ironworker machine?

Often referred to as the “Swiss Army Knife” of the fabrication industry, an ironworker is a cost-effective way to precisely process metals such as iron and steel. It’s often relied on for its powerful punching capacity, efficient shearing capabilities, and precise metal notching. 

An ironworker can do a range of jobs in a small, compact space, such as punch holes of various shapes and sizes or shear rods, flat bars, and angle irons with special tooling. Some ironworker machines are compatible with a standard punch assembly, whereas others are compatible with a different punching station or an oversized punch assembly. A wide variety of optional attachments can be used with an ironworker machine to enhance its versatility. 

Working with a used ironworker from top brands like Scotchman, Geka, Piranha, Edwards, Baileigh, and Mubea will save time, energy, and costs. The right used ironworker machine can also reduce hours of drill time, quick shearing, and bending. 

When is an ironworker machine used?

An ironworker is generally the first step in the manufacturing process. A single ironworker machine can supply enough fabricated material to boost productivity for all welders in your plant. When comparing used ironworkers, consider not only the tonnage but also the diameter and material thickness it can punch. 

Ironworker machines are commonly used to create and prepare metal components for projects that involve rehabilitating, decommissioning, or even demolishing certain bridges, buildings, or other structures. To maximize their effectiveness, ironworkers are typically equipped with components such as flat bar shears, rod shears, and angle shearing stations.

What are the basic types of ironworkers?

There are two basic styles of ironworkers: a fully integrated European Style and a component tool tabletop. Not all tonnages are created equal, so when selecting an ironworker, consider reaching out to our experts. They can help you find the best new or used ironworker for your fabricating needs. If you’re shopping on a budget, consider a used ironworker machine for sale.
