MP9000

METALpro MP9000 12-Ton Metal Bender

The METALpro MP9000 is a 12-ton hydraulic metal bender system designed for fabrication work involving tubing, pipe, and light structural steel bending. It is commonly positioned as a shop-grade alternative to manual benders, offering repeatable, controlled bends with hydraulic force.

This type of system is typically used in metal fabrication shops, automotive chassis work, handrail production, and general structural bending applications where consistency and moderate-to-heavy bending force are required.

Key Features

- Strong 12-ton hydraulic bending capacity
- Designed for pipe and tube fabrication work
- Hydraulic operation for smooth controlled bending
- Compatible with interchangeable die sets (model-dependent)
- Heavy-duty steel frame construction for stability
- Suitable for production or job-shop environments
- Designed for repeatable angle bending

Typical Capabilities (based on class of machine)

- Tube bending for fabrication and structural work
- Pipe bending for light industrial applications
- Automotive exhaust and chassis fabrication
- Handrail and architectural metalwork
- General shop fabrication tasks

Technical Highlights

- Force: 12 tons hydraulic
- Operation: Hydraulic press-style bending system
- Tooling: Interchangeable dies (varies by setup)
- Use case: Medium-duty fabrication and production bending
- Frame: Heavy steel industrial construction

Applications

- Fabrication shops
- HVAC and piping systems
- Automotive fabrication (roll cages, exhaust systems)
- Structural steel and railing work
- Maintenance and repair workshops
- Custom metal design and prototyping

Position in the market

The MP9000 (12-ton class) generally sits:

- Above 10-ton entry industrial benders
- Below large CNC or heavy hydraulic press benders
- In the “mid-industrial fabrication bending” category
