What is the best method of bending steel beams?
This application will be used on the front of a construction trailer frames. The max beam width will be 84" the min beam width will be 48". Several different structural steels will be used ranging from 4" C-Shape to 12" I beams.
I am working with a new company and the current method is wrapping a chain around the front and attaching a tie-rod hydraulic cylinder to it, to pull this frame together...
The method must be mobile and inexpensive..

In lieu of that, have you considered notching the flanges of your beams C or I beams, then bending into place and welding up where the notch was?
