Shipyard forming
Ship Building Hydraulic Presses
Heavy plate bending, forming, flanging and straightening presses for shipyards and offshore fabricators.

Hydraulic presses for hull and structural plate forming
Shipyards need presses that handle thick, large plates with accuracy and without damaging the material. Our ship building presses bend, form, flange and straighten hull plates, bulkheads and structural sections, with long beds and controlled, repeatable force.
Each press is sized to your plate thickness, width and material grade, with options for tooling systems, plate handling, measurement and CNC controlled positioning to cut rework in the yard.
