Welding Manipulators for Hire and Rental

Redrock’s range of welding manipulators for hire and rental provides a flexible solution for safe and efficient welding processes. Welding manipulators are designed to move the weld head over the workpiece, in contrast to positioners or rotators, which move the workpiece rather than the welding head.

Our huge inventory of welding manipulators, including column and boom manipulators (C&B), is suited to any welding application, providing the quickest means of rotating and tilting through 360 degrees and equipped to cope with the most demanding of environments – no matter your requirements.

Why Hire a Welding Manipulator from Redrock?

With our equipment hire service, you only pay for equipment when you use it. Suppose you’re going to use a welding manipulator less than 60% of the time. In that case, chances are you’ll lower your operational costs by hiring a manipulator on an as-needed basis, rather than buying one.

Market conditions fluctuate and businesses go through ups and downs – we’re here to supply your equipment during your ups and when projects slow down, we’ll take them off your hands.

Whatever your welding operation process, Redrock can help your business upgrade to the latest technological solutions to improve production, while simultaneously lowering your wastage cost and costly rework jobs.

Speedy deliveries can be arranged – ideal for meeting tight project deadlines and work schedules.

Forget the expense of testing, maintenance and servicing. All our welding equipment for hire is fully serviced, maintained and ready to be put into operation. Our entire fleet boasts maximum safety features, ensuring your operators can work fast without compromising safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

Experience Precision with Manipulator Hire from Redrock

How can you benefit from welding manipulator hire?

Hiring a welding manipulator to support your next project brings with it a range of benefits:

  • Less operator fatigue as the bulk of handling (often the hardest part of a welder’s job) is handled mechanically.
  • Safer working conditions lessen absenteeism.
  • Automation of workpiece handling allows your workers to be more productive.
  • Intuitive controls for ease of use.
  • Minimal vibration reduces rework issues and maintains quality control throughout the process.
  • Boost the confidence of your less skilled welders when they’re able to duplicate the work of your most experienced and skilled welder, with ease.
  • We can also supply column and boom manipulators with motorised travel cars, which can further improve production rates.
How does a welding manipulator work?

A welding manipulator is a piece of equipment that assists the welding process by helping welders reach particular areas that require welding operations.

When integrated with manufacturing and welding processes, a welding manipulator can offer higher-quality outputs and reduce worker fatigue to ensure a smooth welding operation from start to finish.
