How much does the LVD Easy-Form 170/51 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the LVD Easy-Form 170/51 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
Five metres is where the Easy-Form series starts to look like heavy equipment, and the LVD Easy-Form 170/51 is the entry point: a 5,100 mm (200.8 in) working length at 1,700 kN.
The jump in mass says a lot about what long beds demand. The machine weighs 19,500 kg (42,989 lb). The Easy-Form 170/42, with the same force and hydraulics on a 4,270 mm bed, weighs 15,000 kg. Ram and table have to be much deeper to stay straight over the longer span, and the frame is wider to match, with 4,550 mm (179.1 in) between the uprights.
Working height changes as well. LVD lists 1,020 mm (40.2 in), where the Easy-Form 170/42 stands at 970 mm. It is a small difference on paper and a real one for an operator who handles parts at the bed all day.
On the ram side nothing is given up. The approach is 180 mm/s, the working speed 22 mm/s and the return 200 mm/s, with the 37 kW motor and 425 L tank of the group. Stroke and open height are listed at 200 mm (7.9 in) and 400 mm (15.7 in).
This is the lowest-force five-metre Easy-Form. Its work is long and comparatively light: lighting columns in thin wall, trailer side panels, long trays. Sheet followers, which LVD offers as programmable pairs, earn their place on parts like these.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 5,100 mm (200.8 in) working length with 4,550 mm (179.1 in) between uprights
- Keeps 180 mm/s approach and 22 mm/s working speed at five metres
- Crowning made for the machine, which long beds depend on
- Lightest five-metre Easy-Form at 19,500 kg (42,989 lb)
- Programmable sheet followers available
Limitations
- 1,700 kN is thin over a five-metre bend
- Working height of 1,020 mm (40.2 in), above the 970 mm of the Easy-Form 170/42
- 19,500 kg (42,989 lb) needs a planned foundation
- Open height listed at 400 mm (15.7 in)

Frequently Asked Questions
01
LVD gives only the figures: 19,500 kg here against 15,000 kg for the Easy-Form 170/42, whose bed is 4,270 mm with 3,820 mm between uprights. A longer span needs deeper beams to resist bending, and this bed is 5,100 mm with the uprights 4,550 mm apart.
02
1,700 kN in total at 285 bar. On a full 5,100 mm bend that is spread thinly, so the machine suits long parts in light gauge; the Easy-Form 220/51 is the next step with 2,200 kN.
03
Working height is 1,020 mm (40.2 in). The table is 120 mm (4.7 in) wide, and the gap in the side frames is 400 mm (15.7 in).
04
LVD offers front supports on guide rails and two programmable sheet followers as options. The followers stay in full contact with the plate through the bend, which prevents sagging on long blanks.
