Profile Information
Boltless rack uprights (angle posts) are vertical structural members with evenly distributed slots or holes for adjustable shelving. Z beams act as horizontal load-bearing supports, locking into uprights without bolts.
Both profiles feature optimized cross-sections for strength-to-weight efficiency, widely used in warehouses, retail storage, and logistics systems.
Typical Applications
| Garage Storage & Organization | Warehouse Bulk Shelving |
| Retail Storefront Display | Stockroom & Pantry Archiving |

Function Of Machines
Servo Feeder
The servo feeder ensures precise material feeding synchronized with punching operations, maintaining consistent hole spacing.
♦ Double Station Hydraulic Punching Machine
The dual-station hydraulic punching system allows independent tooling for uprights and Z beams, eliminating changeover downtime and improving productivity.
This design ensures high punching accuracy and efficient multi-profile production.
♦ Roll Forming Machine
The dual-station roll forming machine uses a wall panel structure with chain transmission, providing stable forming for medium-thickness materials. Separate forming paths for each profile enable quick switching while maintaining dimensional consistency and reliable long-term operation.
Flying Hydraulic Cut
The flying cutting unit performs continuous cutting without stopping the roll forming process. It synchronizes with line speed, moving together with the profile to achieve relative static cutting. Dedicated cutting molds for uprights and Z beams ensure clean edges and accurate lengths at high speed.

Frequently Asked Question
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.
Switching between profiles is quick due to independent stations, typically requiring minimal adjustments rather than full tooling replacement.
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.
