Central Hydraulics 12 Ton Hydraulic Pipe Bender, Model S-30640

Presenting a Central Hydraulics 12 Ton Hydraulic Pipe Bender (Model S-30640), produced by Central Purchasing Inc. in 1994 and manufactured in Taiwan. This rugged, workshop-grade bender is designed to handle Schedule 40 or 80 malleable steel pipes ranging from ½″ up to 2″, offering versatile bending capabilities across six standard sizes: ½″, ¾″, 1″, 1-¼″, 1-½″, and 2″ .

Its heavy-duty steel frame supports various bending die sizes while providing adjustable bar lengths—typical models (like Harbor Freight’s Central Machinery variant, highly similar in design) support bending bars at 8⁻½", 11-¼", 12", 16-¾", 19-½", and 22-¼" and include six precision cast dies . Though our piece doesn’t explicitly list exact bar adjustment measurements, it’s likely comparable given shared specifications and tooling design.

Built to exert up to 12 tons (approximately 24,000 lb) of hydraulic pressure, this unit enables clean, accurate bends with professional finish. Additional features often include a release valve for controlled bend release, a robust mounting base, and die attachment via R-pins and cotter pins .

Condition
Good, fully functional, tested, with signs of use.
