Scotchman Industries has introduced an enhanced foot pedal control system across its hydraulic ironworker product line, further improving operator stability, control, and workplace efficiency. “At Scotchman Industries, helping fabricators work more efficiently and safely is always a top priority,” said Brad Heltzel, General Manager of Scotchman Industries. “That’s why we decided to add foot pedal controls with extended handles to our Ironworker line.”
The new foot pedal design features an extended handle that makes it easier for operators to move the pedal between workstations while helping keep it securely positioned during operation. The handle also provides additional support, allowing operators to maintain better balance and control when engaging the pedal. This enhancement is now standard on all Scotchman hydraulic ironworkers ranging from 50 to 150 tons, including Component Tool Table Design, Fully Integrated, Single Operator, and Dual Operator models.
Scotchman Hydraulic Ironworkers help manufacturers save time, increase productivity, reduce material waste, and produce clean, accurate cuts and holes.

With dedicated stations for punching, shearing, notching, and other fabrication tasks, Scotchman Ironworkers serve as a central piece of equipment in metal fabrication shops. Designed for durability and long-term performance, these machines help reduce labor requirements, improve efficiency, and lower operating costs while delivering reliable results for years to come.
