Comprehensive Stocks of Headstocks and Tailstocks to Hire
These positioners play a crucial role in providing support and stability during the assembly, handling, and welding of long workpieces. By utilising a headstock and tailstock configuration, you can ensure the proper alignment and balance of your workpieces, minimising the risk of distortion or deformation.
For smaller weldments like pipe elbows commonly found in pipeshops, the fixed height HSC or HSVP headstocks are a popular choice. These options offer the necessary support and stability for precise welding, ensuring excellent quality and consistency in your welds.
Whether you’re performing welding tasks manually or utilising automation, our headstocks can significantly improve the overall quality and consistency of your welds. By reducing the need for future rework projects, you can save time, resources, and costs.
At NN Plant Hire, we offer headstocks and tailstocks with capacities ranging from 500kg to 25 tonnes. This extensive range allows you to select the appropriate option based on the size and weight requirements of your workpieces.
