Choosing a rebar bender is one of the most important decisions you can make for your project. Ultimately, your choice can affect both the speed of your work and the accuracy of your bar bending. While manual tools are widely accessible and more affordable, an electric bar bender can be a good investment to speed up your construction without compromising quality.
At RAPIDTOOL Australia, we recommend using electric rebar benders for increased efficiency and safety on construction sites. Whether you are a contractor or building a personal project that involves reinforcing steel bars, our rebar benders eliminate manual labour to save you time and effort.
If you have been using manual bar benders for years, you might be unsure about upgrading to an electric rebar bender. In that case, let this blog enlighten you with the right information and facts to help you make an informed choice.
What is an electric bar bender?
Electric rebar benders automatically bend steel bars when you push a trigger. They are powered by an electric motor and use an industrial-strength machine head to bend the rods. Moreover, they come in different sizes to align with a particular range of steel bar diameters. Our ERB-16 Electric Bar Bender is for 4-16mm steel bars and it runs on a 220-240V – 1200W motor with a high-precision hydraulic pump, making it effective at bending steel bars to 90 degrees in about 5 seconds.
An electric rebar bender is more versatile for various bending applications you might need during your project. Using the standard Ø30mm head, the ERB-16 can bend steel bars from zero to 130 degrees. The additional Ø80mm bend pin makes it possible to bend bars to 90 degrees. No matter the angle, we guarantee our electric bar bender will simplify the task and deliver accurate, clean, and efficient bends each time. We also provide a bend guide bolt so you can set the tool at a required bend angle when using the Ø30mm head.
Increased simplicity and productivity
Given the importance of steel reinforcement bars in supporting concrete foundations, you can never exclude rebar bending from your project. Rebar must be bent and cut in appropriate sizes to make them effective at reinforcing concrete. We offer a range of electric and industrial rebar benders to avoid physical labour and exhaustion and to speed up the task.
In addition to RAPIDTOOL’s ERB-16 Portable Rebar Bender, we offer the CRB-25 Industrial Rebar Bender for 6-25mm steel bars and CRB-32 Industrial Rebar Bender for 6-32mm steel bars. Both are powered by a 220-240V AC – 50Hz single-phase electric motor with 1050W (CRB-25) or 2400W (CRB-32) power input. It’s almost effortless and less exhausting to use our industrial electric bar benders because they come with foot pedals. Both models can bend steel bars to 90 degrees in approximately 2.5 seconds.
At RAPIDTOOL Australia, we also carry industrial rebar bending machines with a built-in bar cutter. RAPIDTOOL’s CRBC-32A and CRBC-25 save you time when switching between two tools. Rebar bending and cutting often go hand-in-hand, making these two-in-one machines practical for many construction sites. Plus, they are compact and can easily fit on any construction site.
Better than manual bar bending
Using an electric bar bender will make you forget about physical exhaustion. Our tools are ergonomic, lightweight, and easy to transport. Plus, they are easy to set up and use in hard-to-access work sites. Whether you work by yourself or with a team, RAPIDTOOL rebar benders will increase your productivity, efficiency and safety at work.
Better quality than manual bar benders
At RAPIDTOOL Australia, we carefully choose our products to ensure uncompromised performance and long service life. Our bar benders are designed and crafted using industry-grade materials to withstand any construction environment. Our portable electric bar benders are also proven to deliver accurate outcomes without compromising the strength and quality of the steel bars.
