Ensley E-969 Portable 2" Conduit Bender, S/N 4743072, w/ Complete Parts Machine

1981 Ensley E-969 Electric Conduit Bender - 2-Unit Package

Serial Number: 4743072 | Model: E-969 | Power: 115V AC | Includes Parts Machine

Overview

The Ensley E-969 is the "Heavy Iron" of the electrical trade. Manufactured in 1981, this electric conduit bender is the direct predecessor to the legendary Greenlee 555. It is designed for high-volume, precision bending of Rigid, IMC, and EMT conduit from 1/2" up to 2".

This sale includes two units: one fully operational primary bender and a secondary parts machine. For a commercial contractor or industrial shop, this provides unmatched peace of mind; if a limit switch or drive gear fails on a deadline, you have the replacement part on the shelf and ready to swap.

Key Features

• Dual Unit Value: Sale includes one functional E-969 and one dedicated parts unit for long-term maintenance.
• 115V Plug-and-Play: Operates on standard 115V AC power, making it ideal for jobsite use without specialized generators.
• Greenlee Compatibility: This model is identical to the Greenlee GB-B222E, meaning it uses standard Greenlee 555-style shoes and roller supports.
• Mechanical Drive Durability: Features a robust all-metal gear-drive system—vastly more reliable and lower maintenance than hydraulic alternatives.
• Precision Control: Equipped with a remote pendant and adjustable limit switches for repeatable, accurate bends from 15° to 90°.

Dealer Note

"Buying vintage Ensley/Greenlee iron is all about longevity. These 1980s mechanical benders are often preferred over modern digital versions because they are easier to service and built with more substantial internals. By including the parts machine, we've eliminated the only risk of owning a legacy tool—parts availability. This is a lifetime setup for a serious electrical contractor."
