JIMMY SERIES HYDRAULIC REBAR BENDERS — GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
The
MQ Jimmy Series Hydraulic Rebar Benders
are designed
to be used as
portable
on-site rebar benders, capable of bending
in-place rebar to approved American Concrete Institute (ACI) radius.
Labor time and injuries are greatly reduced from manually bending
rebar. Bends of 90°, 135° or 180° can now be completed in seconds
at the correct elevation after forms are stripped away.
With seven models to choose from, the Jimmy Series rebar benders
can accommodate a wide variety of rebar angles and sizes. Please
reference Tables 1 and 2 in this manual for the rebar bender that
best fits your application.

Rebar Columns
90° rebar (Figure 1) at top of column can be bent after forms
have been removed
Bending after concrete is poured allows you to stock bottom
beam bars, eliminating the need to thread bottom beam bars.
Rebar at top of column can be bent at exactly the correct
elevation allowing top beam bars to placed on top of 90°
bend.
Figure 1. Columns
Rebar Straightening
Rebar can be straightened using JB5090, JB7090, JB8090,
JB9180 and JB11090.
NEVER straighten rebar that is bent greater than 30°. Check
with building codes before straightening rebar
Figure 2. Rebar Straightening
Before the rebar can be straightened by the JB5090, JB7090
or JB8090, it will be necessary to replace the main roller with
the straightening roller. The straightening roller is included
with each of the above models from the factory. To accomplish
this task remove the main shaft as outlined in Figure 14.
Some agencies may not permit the straightening of rebar
for existing bends of more than 30°. DO NOT attempt to
straighten rebar bends greater than 30°.
