SSF8HD Heavy Duty Kick Shrinker Stretcher
![](/pub/media/brands/Stakesys.jpg)
SSF8HD 8" Throat Kick Shrinker Stretcher
Our heavy duty kick shrinker that has the ability to shrink and stretch up to 2.5mm mild steel and 5.0mm aluminium. Throat depth is 8" (200mm) with a 60mm downdraught for inserting curved panels. The SSF8HD excels on chassis rails and heavy, thick gauge materials which are not possible on our smaller capacity models. To create the leverage necessary the pedal has a long throw through the stand itself. Once the material is loaded the upper wheel is turned to remove clearance between the jaws which reduces the pedal "free play" and starts the shrinking or stretching action.
Compared to the other smaller floor standing machines, the action is much slower which is needed to create the power necessary for shaping heavy steel. This isn't a machine that you would use for shaping body panels where the much faster pedal speeds on our oval and round jawed models make for faster shaping. Think of the 80+kg SSF8HD Shrinker stretcher as like driving an HGV compared to a sports car and you get the idea of how it feels.
If making hot rod or classic car chassis rails is your thing, or you have an industrial requirement for shrinking and stretching heavy gauge materials this machine fits the bill. It comes with both shrinking and stretching jaws which slide on a dove tail rail for fast changing.
- Large material capacity and throat depth
- Hand wheel for freeplay take-up
- Shrinker and stretcher cassettes included
