Production Line
High-efficiency roll forming line for rack step beams, delivering stable closed profiles with welding reinforcement and accurate cutting for warehouse racking systems.
- Stable load-bearing performance
- Consistent closed profile shape
- Reduced deformation during cutting
- Faster production with welding sync
- Flexible size changeover
- Reliable long-term operation
- Smooth beam surface finish
We customize the production line based on different rack step beam designs, including profile dimensions, thickness range, welding requirements, and automation level.
Ideal for racking system manufacturers producing step beams requiring high structural strength, stable welding quality, and medium-speed, precision-focused production.

Profile Information
Rack step beam is used in storage racking systems, featuring a stepped closed profile for pallet support, with various sizes to meet different load capacities and shelf designs.
How Does The Roll Forming Machine Work?
Machine Details
Steel Coil Decoiler
Steel coil decoiler is used to unwind metal coils smoothly for feeding into roll forming, cutting, or punching processes.
Manual decoiler is a basic and economical option, while motorized and hydraulic decoilers are also available for higher efficiency and automation:
| Power Type | Manual | Steel Coil Width | Max 1250mm |
| Loading Capacity | 5/7/10 Ton | Expanding Range | 460-50mm |
Leveling Unit
The integrated leveling unit ensures flatness before forming by correcting coil stress and waviness.
It improves forming accuracy and reduces deformation.
Compared with standalone levelers, this solution saves space while maintaining sufficient precision for medium-thickness materials.
Roll Forming Machine
The roll forming machine adopts a heavy-duty gearbox transmission and cast frame structure, ensuring stable forming under thick materials.
It gradually shapes the step beam profile with high precision, while automatic size adjustment allows fast switching between different beam specifications, improving production flexibility and efficiency.
| Speed | 15m/min | Forming Station | 18 Stands |
| Motor Power | 7.5Kw | Shaft Diameter | 76mm, solid |
| Driving System | Gearbox | Roller Material | Gcr15,HRC58-62° |
| Frame Structure | Cast iron stand | Shaft Material | 40Cr heat treatment |
Flying Point Welder
Tracking spot welding synchronizes with the roll forming speed to weld the closing seam of the beam.
It enhances structural integrity, improves load capacity, and maintains continuous production without reducing line speed, ensuring both strength and efficiency.
Flying Saw Cut
The saw cutting unit performs stop-to-cut operation, ensuring precise length control without material movement.
Saw cutting minimizes deformation for closed profiles. For higher speed requirements, flying cutting or hydraulic cutting solutions can be customized.
Safety Designs
Chain covers are installed to protect operators and extend chain service life. Full-machine mesh covers (slidable) provide visibility with safety. Flip-type covers ensure convenient access with enhanced protection.
Safety signs are applied to continuously alert operators.
PLC Control Cabinet & Encoder
In a cold roll forming line, the encoder works with the PLC to provide real-time feedback on material position and speed, ensuring precise feed, synchronized forming, and accurate length control for cutting and punching.
Production speed, product length, and quantity can be set on the control cabinet. The display language can be customized according to customer requirements.
Other Customization Details
The machine comes standard with a blue main color and orange accents. Other colors can be customized free of charge.
The default metal nameplate is Goalon, which can also be customized at no additional cost.
Basic Services
Professional Packing
Machines are packed in plastic film and labeled for easy identification and assembly, and secured inside the container with steel cables.
Installation Guide
Free customized manuals, operationvideos, installationvideos, and remote video supportare provided.
The standard configuration operates at 15–20 m/min. Higher-end configurations can reach 30–40 m/min, and even higher speeds can be customized according to specific production requirements.
Lead times range from 30-50 days post-order, varying by customization level and supplier location. We typically require 45 days for standard machines.
Welding closes the beam profile, improving rigidity and load capacity while ensuring structural stability during heavy-duty storage applications.
Yes. We are a professional manufacturer that produces both standard market profiles and customized profiles. We can also sign an agreement to ensure that your drawing will not be shared with other parties.
There is no need to worry. Our machines are designed for easy installation and operation.
Before shipment, we will finish the main assembly and testing in our factory. When the machine arrives, you only need to place it in position, connect the power supply, and it can start working.
We will also provide:
detailed installation and operation manuals
machine layout drawings
wiring diagrams
online technical support (video call / photos / videos)
If needed, we can also arrange an engineer to come to your factory to help with installation and training. Many of our customers complete installation smoothly with our online guidance.
30% deposit is paid before production, the balance paid after inspection confrmation, before shipment.
