At present, push benches are not currently used in Russia because the experience of their operation in the USSR gave negative results. The history of application of push benches and the possibility of extension of the assortment of produced pipes are discussed. We present the analysis of the available data on the productivity and assortment of contemporary push benches. The advantages and disadvantages of modern pipe-rolling plants with push benches in the current economic situation are considered. The comparison of the characteristics of reeling mills reveals numerous significant advantages of push benches over the continuous reeling mills.
