Comprehensive Forming Solutions Under One Roof<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Farwest Steel is your metal solutions partner, whether you\u2019re a fabricator looking to scale production or a manufacturer outsourcing complex bends. No matter your scale, we have the forming capacity to keep your projects rolling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our press brake lineup ranges from 10 to 50 feet and from 90 to 750 tons, forming everything from light stainless or aluminum sheet to 1 1\/2-inch heavy wear plate. Combined with our extensive inventory, cutting, welding, and logistics capabilities, Farwest offers a single source for material, processing, and delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Now, with the addition of our new heavy-capacity press brakes, we\u2019re taking that forming range to a new level for marine, energy, infrastructure, and other large-format applications.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

New 2,000-Ton Press Brakes for Large-Format Projects<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Farwest\u2019s next-gen press brake system is purpose-built for heavy fabrication and large structural components. With 2,000 tons of capacity across 60 linear feet, a 48-inch throat, an adjustable bottom die with a 2 to 12-inch gap, and a 24-inch top-ram opening, this system sits in the top tier of forming capability on the West Coast. It can form a 48-inch leg over 60 linear feet, enabling large, one-piece bends that were previously impractical or impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For customers in marine, power transmission, transportation, mining, energy, and structural fabrication, that capacity translates into real-world advantages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Fewer Weld Seams and Field Splices: Can shorten project schedules and reduce labor time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Longer, Thicker, and Wider Bent Sections: Reduces multi-piece fabrication and on-site assembly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Integrated Workflow: Minimizes handling, wait time, and risk by moving all material processes into one contiguous flow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Cost Avoidance: Improves project economics with less welding, fewer fit-ups, lower transportation complexity, and shorter installation windows.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Backed by Farwest\u2019s culture of reinvestment in technology and customer-focused engineering support, the new press brakes offer manufacturers and fabricators a local partner for large-format forming.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
