When it comes to modern fabrication, efficiency, precision, and automation are everything. The Ocean GLADIATOR is a powerful structural steel beam laser system designed to streamline beam processing while reducing floor space, labor, and operating costs. Instead of relying on multiple machines to cut, drill, cope, and mark steel profiles, this advanced solution performs all these operations in one compact system.
Traditional fabrication lines often require separate machines for cutting, drilling, coping, and marking. The GLADIATOR eliminates that inefficiency by integrating every operation into one highly capable structural steel beam laser platform.
Using advanced 3D laser technology, the system can:
By consolidating multiple operations into a single structural steel beam laser, fabricators can simplify workflow, reduce handling, and improve overall productivity on the shop floor.
One of the biggest advantages of the GLADIATOR structural steel beam laser is its innovative cantilever design. The machine travels on precision rails while maintaining an exceptionally compact footprint.
Compared to conventional drill-saw lines and coping systems, this structural steel beam laser requires less than half the floor space, making it ideal for fabrication shops looking to maximize production capacity without expanding their facility.
Even better, the system delivers this performance at less than half the cost of traditional drill-saw and coping lines, providing a powerful return on investment for structural steel fabricators.
Efficiency doesn’t stop with speed and automation. The GLADIATOR structural steel beam laser also improves material utilization through the use of common cutlines and narrow kerf widths.
This allows fabricators to process multiple parts from a single long stock length, maximizing yield from every beam. The result is less material waste, lower costs, and greater profitability on every job.
For fabricators producing skids and structural platforms, the system can also cope flush to the inside of the flange, making it perfect for producing cross-members used in welded skid assemblies.
The GLADIATOR beam laser is available in three machine configurations designed to accommodate a wide range of structural profiles.
Machine capabilities include:
This flexibility makes the Ocean GLADIATOR beam laser ideal for fabricators working with beams, columns, channels, and angles across a variety of industries.
At the core of the system is Penta Laser’s advanced 3D five-axis cutting technology, delivering the precision required for complex structural cuts and coping geometries.
The GLADIATOR also meets European CE safety standards, featuring a fully enclosed cutting area and triple safety interlocks that protect both operators and equipment during operation.
For fabricators looking to modernize their operations, the GLADIATOR offers a smarter, more efficient solution. By combining multiple fabrication processes into one compact structural steel beam laser, shops can increase production capacity, reduce handling, and significantly lower operating costs.
The result is faster throughput, higher precision, and a competitive edge in today’s demanding structural steel market.
The Ocean GLADIATOR Structural Steel Beam Laser is a fully integrated structural steel processing solution designed to cut, drill, cope, and mark — all in one ultra-compact system. Built specifically for fabricators who demand speed, precision, and maximum material yield, the GLADIATOR delivers unmatched performance in less than half the footprint and at less than half the cost of traditional drill-saw and coping lines.
Powered by Penta Laser technology and engineered for modern steel fabrication shops, the GLADIATOR redefines beam processing efficiency.

The Ocean GLADIATOR Structural Steel Beam Laser is built exclusively for Ocean Machinery by Penta Laser. Peddinghaus handles the installation, warranty and service work on the Ocean Gladiator. And while Peddinghaus is the service provider, Ocean Machinery is always there to get involved should the need arise.
Peddinghaus’s commitment to service and support is legendary and is the gold standard in the industry. Peddinghaus offers a global team of customer support representatives that are always available at the Peddinghaus 24 hour customer support center. Through state-of-the-art remote diagnostic software, readily available local field support, and the industry leading warranty, support from Peddinghaus is only a call or a click away.
To service our global clientele, Peddinghaus proudly provides our partners with 24 hour technical support. Peddinghaus’ inside service staff have years of experience in the field, assembly, or factory checkout which provides them with hands-on experience with most machines. At Peddinghaus their service staff is not only available when you need them, but they maintain superior knowledge to solve questions as they arise.
Although 90% of support issues can be resolved by Peddinghaus’ 24 Hour Tech Support center, an expansive network of 50+ Peddinghaus field service personnel are stationed throughout North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Russia, the Middle East and Australia/New Zealand.
