Built for Heavy Equipment Manufacturing.
Boom plate, chassis structural, bucket curves, undercarriage parts. Piranha equipment runs on the line at North America's heavy equipment OEMs and the Tier 1 fabricators feeding them — engineered for the thick-plate work that defines this industry.
Why Piranha
Why Heavy Equipment OEMs Choose Piranha
Three reasons construction, ag, mining, and forestry equipment manufacturers run Piranha on their lines.
Built for Heavy Plate
Engineered for thick-plate work. HD plasma on the Whitney Combo cuts up to 3″ mild steel. Flex Series LASER (3–20kW) handles plate prep on boom housings, undercarriage, and structural components. Bertsch plate rolls form heavy plate curves.
Service That Shows Up
When a press brake stops mid-run, you don't have time for a ticket queue. Piranha service is U.S.-based — phone support that answers, in-stock parts shipped same-day from Belvidere, IL, and PM programs scaled to your shift schedule.
One Source for the Whole Line
Whitney Combo, LASER, Bertsch plate roll, press brake, shear, ironworker — every machine from one manufacturer, with one quote, one install team, and one parts catalog.

How Piranha Speeds Up Your Line
Four ways Piranha equipment changes the math on heavy equipment fabrication.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from heavy equipment OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and procurement teams.
What plate thickness can Piranha equipment handle?
Whitney Combo with HD plasma cuts up to 3″ mild steel. Flex Series LASER handles thick plate with cleaner edges. Bertsch plate rolls form heavy plate up to industry-leading thickness. A specialist will scope the right combination for your specific parts mix.
When does HD plasma make more sense than LASER for heavy equipment parts?
HD plasma is the right answer for thick plate (1″+) where LASER cutting becomes slower and cost-per-cut climbs. For boom plates, dipper sticks, and undercarriage components, HD plasma on the Whitney Combo delivers production speeds at a lower per-part cost. LASER wins for thinner plate, complex profiles, and cleanest edges.
What's the install timeline for a complete heavy equipment line?
From signed order to first part: typically 16–24 weeks depending on automation scope, machine count, facility readiness, and electrical/utility prep. Piranha application engineering coordinates with the customer's plant team through every stage.
What training and support comes with the equipment?
Every machine ships with installation support, a video tutorial library, comprehensive operations manuals, remote desktop support, and lifetime phone support from the U.S.-based technical team. On-site application engineering coordinates with your plant team through install.
What about Bertsch plate rolls for boom housings and bucket curves?
Bertsch is Piranha's plate-roll line — same brand under one roof. Bertsch has been building plate rolls since 1879. For boom housings, drum shells, dipper bucket curves, and other heavy-plate forming work, the Bertsch heritage line is industry-proven.
Do you offer financing for capital equipment?
Yes. Piranha offers flexible financing options for capital equipment purchases — useful for managing heavy equipment line investments across multiple machine orders or staged automation rollouts.
Can the same line handle construction + agricultural + mining parts mix?
Yes — that's exactly the mixed-product Tier 1 supplier reality Piranha equipment is built for. Quick tool change, flexible automation, mixed-material handling. The same line runs construction-equipment side plates one shift and mining-bucket plates the next.
Does Piranha support multi-shift production lines?
Yes. LASER automation handles material loading and unloading across shifts, PM programs are scaled to your shift schedule, and parts inventory is sized for high-utilization production environments.
