Bend and hem metal on-site

By Jenny Yu.  

Van Mark's industrial-grade brakes combine portability, durability and precision for demanding metal roofing applications. 

As metal roofing and architectural metal projects continue to grow in complexity, contractors are looking for tools that improve efficiency without sacrificing precision. Van Mark Products' Industrial Series brakes were engineered specifically for the metal roofing and metal architectural industries, giving contractors the ability to fabricate material directly on the jobsite. 

Unlike traditional workflows that require materials to be fabricated off-site, Van Mark's Industrial Series allows contractors to bend and hem 24-, 26- and 29-gauge painted steel on location. Each Industrial brake includes a precisely engineered stand with a platform designed to handle the load and strain associated with bending roofing metal, helping crews stay productive while reducing transportation and handling challenges. 

The Industrial Series includes two options designed to meet the needs of metal roofing professionals. 

Industrial Metal Master® 20 EZ 

The Industrial Metal Master® 20 EZ features a high-quality casting that is stronger while remaining lighter than previous designs. It offers the deepest working pocket available at 20 inches, providing flexibility for a wide range of metal roofing applications. Extended leverage bending handles deliver four points of lifting pressure on the hinge to help ensure precise bends, while the included Master Stand disassembles in seconds for easier transport between jobsites. The brake is designed to bend and hem 24-gauge painted steel onsite, making it a practical solution for contractors who need fabrication capabilities wherever the work takes them. 

Mark IV Industrial TrimMaster® 

For contractors who prefer a more traditional configuration, the Mark IV Industrial TrimMaster® offers a 14-inch throat depth that allows bends in the center of 28-inch sheets. Its included Xtreme Stand™ sets up and disassembles in minutes using six fast pins, while custom-formed bend handles provide four points of consistent lift on the hinge for long-term performance and precise results. Like the Industrial Metal Master® 20 EZ, it is built to bend and hem 24-gauge painted steel directly on the jobsite. 

For contractors focused on metal roofing, the ability to fabricate materials on-site can help streamline operations, reduce delays and improve responsiveness in the field. Van Mark's Industrial Series was designed with those needs in mind, providing portable solutions built specifically for the demands of metal roofing and architectural metal work.
