Shed Drags
Pendu builds frame movement and access equipment for shed production. Drag chains and shed drags move frames down the line between workstations. Scissors lifts give workers access to the top parts of the shed that can't be reached from the ground, built to slide in and out of the line as needed or stationary on the sides. Plywood lifters raise sheet material to roof level and keep it within reach of the crew working overhead.
Each piece works on its own, so it can go into the line you have or be part of a new one.
Every shed line is laid out differently, so a few things drive what gets built.
Shed Dimensions: The width, length, and height range you produce, and whether that varies between models.
How Frames Move: The distance between stations and how frames get from one to the next now. That tells us whether a drag chain or a shed drag fits your floor better.
Where Workers Need Elevation: Which stations put people above ground level, and how high.
Floor Layout: Space between stations and anything structural that affects where equipment can sit.
Shed lines with fixed build stations: Frames move through a set sequence, and the equipment keeps them moving without manual handling in between.
Roofing and upper-wall work: Anywhere the crew is climbing or reaching for something above them.
Lines losing time to material handling: If workers are carrying plywood up to roof level, that's labor spent moving material instead of building sheds.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a drag chain or shed drag?
Depends on your floor layout and how your frames need to move. Tell us the distance between stations and what your line looks like now.
Can the lift move with the line?
Both configurations are available. Scissors lifts can slide in and out of the line as needed, or sit stationary on the sides.
Can I buy just one piece?
Yes. Most operations start with whichever station is costing them the most time.
What do you need to know to quote?
Your shed dimensions, your station layout, and how frames and materials move through the build sequence today.
