How to make a bender portable?

[49erRider]

Well I think this June I'll finally be getting my bender. My question is I don't want it to permanently have a spot in the garage taking where the Jeep belongs.

So how can I make it where I can move it out of the way when I'm not using it?

Any advice?

Sorry wrong section if someone could move it that would be awesome!

put 4 anchors in the concrete and remove then when you don't need it.

The gottrykes bender is on rollers and moves easily. Because of the way it bends, you don't need to bolt it down.

Mine is mobile... I bought a JD bender and just built my own rollable stand on casters and then did a homemade hydraulic attachment. Works flawlessly!

Hmm I know I won't have enough dough in the beginning to make it hydraulic. Any pictures of yours?

Build a stand made to fit in the back of a Reese hitch... Remove it when you're done.

It's about time someone bought one close to me. Now I just need to rent it from you when you're done with it.

There's a thread I started a while back trying to find a cheap tube bender and there's some pics and links for a few different portable benders.

Its just a Harbor Freight Ram... IIRC it was less than $75 out the door!

almost..
The anchors you need are the female portion, not the bolt.
Then a plastic flush plug goes in when not in use to keep dirt out.

You may need to rent a big drill to install.
Epoxy in place.
Hilti brand.

This is sounding like a good option

yea you can prob get the anchors from lowes but you will prob have to borrow a hammer drill if you have a cordless hammer drill it will NOT work not enough umph if you know any plumbers, sprinkler guys, iron workers, electricans or just about anyone that does commercial construction work they should have the drill and the anchors for you.
