Yep Wenco is the place.
Yep Wenco is the place. Bendtech charge a fortune for even basic bending or rolling. Just make sure the grade of ali used is bendable.

I'm looking at using T6 6082
I'm looking at using T6 6082 grade I beams and T5 6060 box cross members. Can anyone tell me the correct grade to use ? What's bendable and what's knot ?

What you are looking for is
What you are looking for is cold workability in material. From what I can gather in data sheets 6082 has good cold workability for rolling etc. The supplier should be able to give you this info anyway.

Ok thanks sea-kem, I was
Ok thanks sea-kem, I was wondering if any heat was applied when bending. I looked at other I beam trailers, that bend comes out very tidy with no distortion. They do a pretty nice job of it.
