Gold Hill, OR – SWEED Machinery has announced the release of its newly redesigned 64” C-Turner, available in both standard and rotating models. Each model is rated for a 9,000 lb. capacity and built to handle heavy use, long hours, and demanding environments. This redesign is a complete rebuild, developed from years of field experience and direct feedback from operators and maintenance crews.

Key improvements include:

• Thicker Steel Construction: Critical components have been reinforced with heavier gauge steel to stand up to years of punishment.
• Heavy-Duty Chain and Split Sprockets: Upgraded chain sizing and split sprockets make for stronger operation and quicker, simpler maintenance.
• Upgraded Motor and Gearbox: Built with oversized components for more torque, smoother performance, and longer service life under heavy loads.
• Heavy-Duty 3-Cylinder Clamp: Bigger clamping force with a built-in maintenance lockout for added safety.
• Expanded Clamp Travel (64″ to 27″): Handles a wider range of material without the constant adjustments that slows down production.

“This is not just a refresh — it’s a total rebuild, driven by the people who operate these machines every day,” said Kevin Gordon, SWEED’s Sales Director. “We took real-world feedback and made it stronger, easier to maintain, and built for less downtime.”
