Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between single-operator and dual-operator ironworkers?

Single-operator models (P Series) run 50-140 tons and are designed for one worker to control all stations, while dual-operator models (PII and BII Series, 66-225 tons) allow two operators to work simultaneously, increasing throughput in high-volume shops that need faster part processing.
