The Model A-3 is the smallest of the floor mounted bending machines manufactured by Pedrick. Like all Pedrick bending machines, it is a rotary head compression bender that is driven with a mechanical drive. It produces 9,000 inch pounds of bending moment. It is capable of bending 1 1/4 inch schedule 40 pipe. It is popular for many furniture and extrusion bending applications. This model shares the same platform as the Model A-5 shown. They both provide a very large bending capacity with a small footprint.
