Production Line
A dual-station roll forming line producing boltless rack uprights and Z beams with dedicated punching and cutting, enabling flexible, high-efficiency shelf component manufacturing.
Dual-profile production flexibility
Reduced machine investment cost
Faster order changeover
Higher floor space efficiency
Stable punching accuracy
Continuous high-speed output
Lower labor dependency
Consistent profile quality
We tailor the line to different boltless rack profiles, including upright hole patterns, Z beam dimensions, material thickness, and punching configurations to match regional standards and load requirements.
Ideal for rack manufacturers producing both uprights and beams, especially those handling mixed orders, medium-to-high volume production, or seeking flexible, cost-efficient multi-profile solutions.

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.
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 |
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.
| Speed | 20m/min | Forming Station | 18 Stands |
| Motor Power | 7.5Kw | Shaft Diameter | 76mm, solid |
| Driving System | Chain | Roller Material | Gcr15,HRC58-62° |
| Frame Structure | Wall panel | Shaft Material | 40Cr heat treatment |
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.
| Power Type | Hydraulic cut |
| Power | 5.5Kw |
| Blade Material | Cr12MoV |
| When Cutting | Forming works |
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.
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.
