Redrock’s range of welding positioners, including 3 Axis Hydraulic Welding Positioners and Cradle Type Welding Positioners, provides you with the quickest and safest means of rotation and tilting through 360 degrees whilst retaining maximum access to the workspace.
Unlike a welding turntable, which rotates a workpiece around a horizontal access axis only, a welding positioner offers 0-135 degree tilt movement allowing for precise positioning and improved weld quality.
Welding Positioners
Our range of welding positioners offers a way to equip your operators with high-quality, reliable and robust machinery to deliver results. Positioners can bare a significant weight safely, offering welders the ability to control rotation speed and tilt, as well as the option of manual or semi-automatic welding.
Our welding positioners are an ideal solution for welders of any experience and skill, enhancing productivity and weld performance, and reducing time spent reworking.
Available worldwide through our network of global distributors, Redrock’s welding positioners help our clients increase their throughput to gain a competitive edge. Whether you’re looking for a variation in rotation speed or enhanced precision of welded workpieces, speak to Redrock about sourcing a positioner for your next welding job.

Frequently Asked Questions
Welding positioners enhance welding processes by using a rigid circular table face to securely hold a workpiece tightly, enabling a welder to work at various angles and on a stable surface. A positioner can rotate at high speeds, even when supporting substantial weight.
Operators can then continue with the process without having to move around the workpiece, and so can take advantage of faster speeds and more control than a manual welding positioner.
Our team is experienced in supplying technologically advanced welding solutions to the oil and gas sector and earth-moving equipment construction industry, as well as defence contractors and pressure vessel manufacturing. We understand the bespoke requirements of each industry and project, so speaking to a professional should always be your first priority.
Let us know what your job entails and we can guide you towards the most suitable welding positioner, taking into account the load weight, rotation speed and angle, size of workpiece, profiles and numerous other industry-leading features we can provide.
Every welding process needs to be streamlined to maximise efficiencies, improve processes, minimise rework jobs and keep your operators welding. Material handling is an overhead you can reduce by lessening the time your operators spend handling materials and ensuring an improved quality of work.
Welding positioners can help your business get the best output from every weld operator in your team, regardless of skill level, by taking advantage of industry-leading equipment. With our positioners, your operators will be able to achieve more welds in the downhand position, rather than welding positionally, which is an advanced skill set that not all operators may have acquired.
Our range of welding positioners enables your operators to achieve superior welds from a downhand position with speed, precision and far less reworking required.
Redrock has numerous models suitable for different work environments and welding projects.
Positioners can assist with shaft welding, wheels, rotating workpieces with huge offset loads, rotary positioning and parts for assembly.
Any industry dealing with metal fabrication can benefit from the control and precision offered by welding positioners to fabricate metal parts of components.
Welding positioners offer optimum proximity for workers, increased visibility and non contact work piece position – these facts play a major part in supporting your welder to work at a preferable tilt and angle, ensuring their workpiece is positioned for optimum quality. The ability to switch angle safely and efficiently ensures workpieces are operated on with a smaller margin for error and a reduction in wasted time due to any inaccuracies.
All our positioners offer various features and components to improve your operations, increase control and manufacture results for your processes:
Both welding positioners and welding turntables are used in welding applications to facilitate the rotation of workpieces, however, positioners operate around a 2 axis vertical horizontal, whilst turntables rotate around a horizontal axis only.
These varying axes of tilt and rotation offer optimum use cases for welding applications, both allowing for easy access to different areas of a workpiece.
