Skybender® - Lift Mounted EMT Bender
Conduit Bender That Mounts Directly to Your Lift Platform
Skybender is the first and only EMT conduit bender that attaches directly to a scissor or boom lift. It’s like a deconstructed conduit bender with 3 shoes stacked on a base that mounts directly to the guardrails on your lift. The stationary design allows the user to bend conduit around it rather than manipulating a typical foot bender. Lock the pipe in with the retaining block to dial-in those perfect custom bends 2x faster than with a traditional bender. Unlatch and swivel it around its fulcrum for complete control.
The laser-etched angle demarcations are easy-to-read and in plain sight. This tool’s design is very user-friendly for all operators. All the markings work exactly like traditional benders, with no complex learning required. Using the Skybender requires minimal action and arm-pulling. The bench-vise mounting style allows for a comfortable upright working stance and really saves the body.
Skybender has two additional features:
1. An integrated hollow shaft to straighten or tweak those slightly over or under bends and
2. A built-in pipe reamer to deburr any cut ends. Take your conduit up with you and finish the job faster!
Grab a stick of pipe then bend, tweak, and ream entirely without putting the pipe down. Everything you could want from an electrical conduit bender in one durable and ingenious design.
- Bends EMT sizes ½”, ¾”, and 1″ with common 10°, 22°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 90° angle demarcations
- Integrated pipe reamer and pipe straightener
- Patented design attaches to any scissor or boom lift with square or rectangular guardrails using 2 bolts and a securing pin.
- Skybender can also bend 1/2″ and 3/4″ Rigid Aluminum Conduit. For 1/2″, use the 3/4″ shoe; for 3/4″ you use the 1″ shoe.
- Weight: 46 Lbs.
- Made in USA.
- EFFICIENT – Stop wasting time going up and down and constantly exiting the lift platform. Don’t bend conduit on the ground when Skybender allows you to complete conduit systems 2x faster by having both the material and bending tool with you on the lift platform.
- WORK SOLO – Save pipe, avoid misunderstandings, and eliminate mistakes from shouting your needs down to colleagues below. Instead measure, bend, check, and install all in one spot right where you need it.
- ALL-IN-ONE – Its integrated features allow you to bend, tweak, and ream pipe. Skybender has everything needed for complete EMT bending in one lift accessory.
- SAFETY – Going in and out of your lift every time you need to bend conduit introduces more chances for accidents. Using a traditional bender in your lift is also dangerous. Skybender solves both of these problems.
- HIGH QUALITY – Made of anodized aluminum and hardened steel, you can rely on this durable tool to stay in perfect condition bend after bend. With few moving parts, it will be as long-lasting as the conduit installations it helps create.
