At CrainCo, our forming capabilities take raw plate and sheet and shape it into precise, production-ready components. With heavy-tonnage press brakes, experienced operators, and a lean approach to production, we deliver accurate bends on everything from light-gauge sheet to thick, heavy plate — reducing the welding and secondary work needed downstream.
Forming is one of the most demanding steps in fabrication — tight tolerances, exacting specs, and no room for error once a part reaches assembly or finishing. Our press brake operators bring years of hands-on experience to every job, forming parts to print the first time and holding that accuracy across full production runs.
Our press brakes are built to take on stringent forming requirements without compromise. Capabilities include:
Our forming equipment handles a wide range of metals and thicknesses, giving customers flexibility across projects:
Every formed part is checked against engineering prints throughout the process — material and gauge are verified before forming, bend angles and dimensions are checked in-process, and finished parts are inspected for accuracy, squareness, and consistency before moving downstream.
We apply lean manufacturing principles to our forming process to limit re-dos, reduce setup time, and keep parts moving efficiently from one operation to the next — without sacrificing the precision each job demands.
