Vale Industries, Inc. designed, built and delivered some
special high-capacity rod benders where they are being used to put 90°
angles in 40mm Ø reinforcing bars that have one end embedded in a
concrete pile. The rod benders are hydraulically operated and are
portable enough so that the workers can position them to accurately make
the required bends.
The photographs show these shears in operation on the project site.
