Bernardo HRB 40 S Hydraulic Pipe Bender
The Bernardo HRB 40 S hydraulic pipe bender is the most powerful model in the series, designed for professional bending of large diameter pipes. With a capacity of up to 4” outer diameter, it is suitable for steel, gas, water, heating, and coated copper pipes. The enhanced hydraulic system with 30 tons of pressure ensures precise bends up to 90°, even on pipes with increased wall thicknesses. The machine features a foldable frame for quick work, a tripod for stability, and a complete set of bending dies from 1/2” to 4”. With robust weight and reliable construction, it is suitable for workshops, construction sites, and plant engineering companies that require a versatile and high-performance pipe bender.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the HRB 40 S also work with stainless steel and aluminum pipes?
Yes — with the appropriate dies. For stainless steel, the required force increases by 30–50% compared to mild steel: verify that the residual capacity of the hydraulic cylinder is sufficient for the specific diameter and thickness. For aluminum, the force decreases. Each material requires the correct diameter die — the same Ø 50 mm pipe in copper, steel, and stainless steel uses the same die but with a different spring-back angle.
Are bending dies of different radii included or separate?
The basic dies for the most common diameters are included in the standard equipment of the HRB 40 S. For additional diameters or bending radii different from the standard ones, the dies are ordered separately. Original spare parts available with 3–5 working days shipping. Customer support available in Italian.
What is the advantage of the HRB 40 S's foldable frame?
The foldable frame allows the machine to be taken to the worksite (construction site, external workshop) and reduces bulk during transport and storage. In the working position, the frame locks rigidly — rigidity is not compromised compared to a fixed frame. Reduced weight and dimensions facilitate transport in a van.
Are spare parts and assistance available?
