How much does the LVD Easy-Form 220/42 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the LVD Easy-Form 220/42 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
With 3,820 mm (150.4 in) between its uprights, the LVD Easy-Form 220/42 lets a part nearly four metres long pass through the frame under 2,200 kN. Working length is 4,270 mm (168.1 in).
The weight tells you how much frame that takes. At 17,000 kg (37,478 lb) this model is almost as heavy as the Easy-Form 220/40 Plus, which is listed at 17,200 kg, and well above the 15,300 kg of the plain Easy-Form 220/40. A buyer choosing among the three is choosing where the extra steel goes: into width here, into height on the Plus.
Width is the right choice for closed shapes. A four-sided pan or a welded-up frame that returns for a final bend cannot be slid into a gap, and has to fit between the side frames. Height is the right choice for open sections with long legs.
In the listed configuration the stroke is 200 mm (7.9 in) and the open height 400 mm (15.7 in), with a 120 mm (4.7 in) table at 970 mm (38.2 in). The 37 kW motor gives 120 mm/s approach, 21 mm/s working speed and 200 mm/s return.
One oddity in LVD's tables: this column lists a 425 L oil tank, while the Easy-Form 220/42 Plus, printed in the next table, lists 350 L. Confirm the fill volume with the maker.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
They weigh almost the same. The Easy-Form 220/40 Plus has 3,150 mm between uprights with a 300 mm stroke and 570 mm of open height. This model has 3,820 mm between uprights with a 200 mm stroke and 400 mm. Closed shapes favour width; long-legged sections favour height.
02
The Easy-Form 220/42 Plus combines 3,820 mm between uprights with a 300 mm stroke, 570 mm of open height and a 200 mm table, and is listed at 18,700 kg.
03
This column of LVD's table lists 425 L. The Easy-Form 220/42 Plus, in a separate table on the page, lists 350 L. The page does not explain the difference.
04
Beyond 3,820 mm (150.4 in) a part reaches into the side frames, where the gap is 400 mm (15.7 in). Up to that length it passes between the uprights and only the backgauge travel and the opening limit it.
