High-Performance Welding Rotator Engineered for Precision and Durability

Welding Rotator

Our industrial welding rotator are engineered for precision and performance, supporting and rotating cylindrical workpieces—such as pipes, tanks, and pressure vessels—during welding, polishing, or assembly. Designed to enhance weld quality and reduce operator fatigue, these machines provide stable, controlled rotation for components of all sizes, from thin-walled vessels to massive structures. Available in conventional, self-aligning, and fit-up models, each unit offers variable speed control, optional remote operation, and load capacities from 5 to over 40 tons. Built with high-strength materials and compliant with international standards, every welding rotator ensures safe, reliable, and efficient operation across industries including oil & gas, shipbuilding, pressure vessel manufacturing, and wind tower assembly.
