Profile Information
Scaffold planks are formed metal walking platforms with reinforced profiles and embossed surfaces, providing a stable, slip-resistant surface for scaffolding, stairs, walkways, and temporary access platforms.
Typically made from galvanized or mild steel, they are also used in workshops and industrial areas where slip resistance and easy cleaning are important. They are commonly manufactured with a dedicated scaffold plank roll forming machine.

Production Line
This strut channel roll forming machine is engineered for manufacturers prioritizing accurate punching and rigid, stable forming over maximum line speed. The integrated line combines leveling, punching, guided feeding, gearbox-driven forming, and hydraulic cut-off, achieving up to 15 m/min with stop-to-cut operation.

Factory Live Test Video 🎯
Prior to shipment, every Goalon roll forming machine undergoes strict trial testing. Below is the live footage of our roll forming production line under continuous operation.
Why Choose This Roll Forming Production Line
✅ Precision Punching Before Forming
Pre-forming punching keeps hole positions stable, reducing deformation risks and avoiding secondary drilling after forming.
✅ Rigid Forming for Consistent Profiles
Cast-iron stands and gearbox drive provide rigid forming support, helping maintain channel geometry during continuous production.
✅ 15 m/min Without High-Speed Cutting
Stop-to-cut operation still delivers up to 15 m/min, balancing practical output with lower cutting-system complexity and cost.
✅ For customers who prioritize punching accuracy and robust forming performance, we recommend this configuration.

Function Of Machines
Decoiler & Leveler
The decoiler and leveler continuously unwind the steel coil and correct material flatness before punching. This helps provide stable strip feeding, reducing material deviation and improving dimensional consistency throughout the strut channel roll forming machine.
♦ Punch Press
The punch press creates the required holes or slots before forming, allowing accurate positioning according to the customer’s profile drawing. Its robust punching capacity makes the line suitable for customers who place high importance on hole accuracy and repeatability.
Guiding
The guiding system keeps the punched strip correctly aligned before entering the forming section. Proper strip positioning helps prevent lateral deviation, protects the forming tooling, and supports consistent profile geometry during continuous production.
♦ Roll Forming Machine
The roll forming section progressively bends the punched strip into the required strut channel profile. Cast-iron stands and a gearbox driving system provide rigid support and stable power transmission for consistent forming performance.
♦ Hydraulic Cut
The hydraulic cut-out table cuts the formed strut channel to the programmed length. This version uses stop-to-cut operation, where forming pauses during cutting to prevent profile movement and maintain reliable cutting accuracy.
Optional Upgrade ——High Speed Flying Cut
| Cutting Method | Stop-to-Cut | Flying Cut |
| Cutting Principle | Forming stops during cutting | Cutter synchronizes with forming |
| Production Speed | Up to 15 m/min | Higher speed available |
| Production Volume | Suitable for moderate output | Suitable for high output |
| Main Advantage | Simpler and cost-effective | Continuous, higher-speed production |
| Recommended For | Customers allocating more budget to punching and forming performance | Customers requiring higher production capacity |
