TABLES
Butterfly Tables
Work, raise and turn: the tables your wall and floor build is built on.
Randek’s butterfly tables are the BS series of working, raising and turning tables for manufacturing wall and floor elements. Start with a single table for hand building, pair two to turn elements safely, or line up three or four to form a complete production line. For any builder working in wood or light gauge steel, it is a flexible, low-complexity foundation you can grow one table at a time.
Working, raising and turning tables (the BS series) for wall and floor elements. One table to start, two to turn, three or four to make a line.
- Buy only what you need, then grow. One table to start, two to turn, three or four to make a line. The same tables scale with you.
- Turn heavy elements safely. The butterfly configuration flips wall and floor elements without manual lifting or cranes.
- Options that match the work. Manual or hydraulic width adjustment, pneumatic or hydraulic alignment for straightening bent timber, and fixed or height-adjustable rollers for moving elements between tables.
- Operator in control. Manual hydraulic controls mean the tables only move when the operator commands them, with a mirror for full sight of the work.
- Handles full-size panels. Elements up to 12 m long and up to 3.65 m high, with frame thickness from 63 to 300 mm.
WALL & FLOOR ELEMENTS
The tables your wall and floor build stands on
The BS tables carry timber and light gauge steel wall and floor elements through building, raising and turning: full-size panels up to 12 m long and 3.65 m high, flipped without cranes.
THE CHOICE
Three tables, one system
For heavier elements there is the BS20 Plus: the same BS tables, built for heavier walls and floors.
RAISE
BS10U — 80° Upraise Table
Hydraulically raises to 80° for dispensing elements in a vertical position, with rollers for outfeed.
Pneumatic squaring and width adjustment; plywood top with removable support pins on both sides.
TURN
BS20 — Butterfly Table
Two tables working together turn the element being built: the receiver takes the wall element as the erecting angle passes 90°, then both are lowered.
Raising and lowering is hydraulic.
EXAMPLE LAYOUTS
From one table to a four-table line
The BS20 is a modular system: start with a single table and add stations as volumes grow, up to a full four-table line. These are the standard example configurations; we plan the exact set with you in a pre-study.
OPEN PANELS
One-table solution
A single upraise table for open panels, curtain walls and other open components such as floors and roofs. The framework is built and boarded in one position.
Separate upraiser, no turning
STANDARD
Two-table solution
The standard BS20 layout used by producers worldwide. An upraise and a receiver table turn the element between them, so you build and board on the first table and insulate and clad after turning. Produces insulated walls, floors and roofs.
Upraise + receiver: the standard BS20 line
EXTRA STATION
Three-table solution
Adds a station so the more time-consuming work after turning is split across two positions to raise capacity: build and board, then insulate and board, then cladding.
Splits the work after turning
FULL LINE
Four-table solution
A full production line with a dedicated framing station plus an extra finishing station: build, board, insulate and clad across four positions for maximum line efficiency.
Framing station + extra station
