METALpro MP4500FS 45-Ton Ironworker: Power, Precision, and Shop-Friendly Design
When it comes to maximizing efficiency in a metal fabrication shop, few machines offer the versatility and value of a quality ironworker. The METALpro MP4500FS 45-Ton Ironworker delivers serious punching and shearing power in a compact, easy-to-run machine that plugs into a standard 110/120V outlet. Built in the USA and designed with real-world fabrication needs in mind, the MP4500FS is an ideal solution for shops that need performance without complexity.
Compact Power That Delivers
The MP4500FS may have a small footprint, but it packs impressive force where it matters most. This machine produces 45 tons of pressure at the punch station and 22.5 tons at the central workstation, allowing operators to punch a 1-1/8" round hole through 3/8" mild steel and handle larger holes in thinner material.
Powered by a standard wall outlet or generator, the MP4500FS eliminates the need for special electrical hookups, making it accessible for a wide range of shop environments.

Standard 8-Inch 3-in-1 Combination Shear
Included with the MP4500FS is METALpro's 8-inch, 3-in-1 combination shear, a built-in station that consolidates multiple cutting functions into one efficient unit. The shear includes:
- Flat bar shear
- Angle iron shear
- Round and square rod shear
By integrating these cutting capabilities into a single station, the MP4500FS reduces setup time, saves valuable floor space, and streamlines fabrication workflows.
Hands-Free Foot Switch Control
The MP4500FS features a footswitch-controlled hydraulic system, allowing operators to maintain full control of the machine while keeping both hands free to position and stabilize material. This hands-free operation improves accuracy, reduces operator fatigue, and helps keep hands safely away from the point of operation.
All-in-One Fabrication Capabilities
Designed to function as a complete fabrication workstation, the METALpro MP4500FS supports a wide range of metalworking tasks, including:
- Punching
- Shearing
- Notching
- Bending
- Forming
- Pressing
- Pipe notching
This versatility makes the MP4500FS a smart investment for small- to mid-size fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and job shops looking to consolidate multiple machines into a single reliable solution.
Why the METALpro MP4500FS Stands Out
The MP4500FS is widely recognized as one of the most cost-effective 45-ton ironworkers on the market, offering professional-grade performance without unnecessary complexity.
Key benefits include:
- Operates on a standard 110V / 20-amp outlet or generator
- Lightweight design with a compact footprint
- Simple, reliable hydraulic operation
- Built in Hamilton, Michigan, USA
- Backed by a one-year limited manufacturing warranty
METALpro machines are engineered to be straightforward, dependable, and long-lasting.
Add Mobility with the METALpro Wheel Kit
For shops that value flexibility, the optional METALpro Wheel Kit is a must-have accessory. Designed to make moving your ironworker quick and safe, the wheel kit installs easily and adds minimal height to the machine.
Wheel Kit features:
- Heavy-duty dual wheel casters with locking brakes
- Fast, easy installation of the machine legs
- Adds only ½ inch of height
- Maintains proper balance in any shop environment
- Dimensions: 9" x 3" x 3"
- Weight: 20 lbs
With the wheel kit installed, you can reposition your ironworker as needed without rearranging your entire shop.
