Production Line
High-efficiency roll forming line for heavy-duty rack uprights, delivering precise punching, stable forming, and continuous cutting for industrial storage systems.
- Higher load-bearing capacity
- Increased production output
- Perfect rack assembly fit
- Longer machine service life
- Consistent product quality
- Lower material waste
- Reduced maintenance costs
We customize the line based on upright profile design, hole patterns, thickness range, and load requirements, ensuring compatibility with different racking systems and standards.
Ideal for racking manufacturers producing heavy-duty warehouse systems requiring high strength, precise hole alignment, and stable mass production of thick steel uprights.

Profile Information
Heavy-duty rack uprights support pallet racking systems, featuring perforated C or box profiles. Widely used in the US, Europe, and industrial logistics sectors.
Typically produced from 1.5–3.0mm cold-rolled or galvanized steel, ensuring high load capacity, structural rigidity, and durability for demanding warehouse applications.
How Does The Roll Forming Machine Work?
Machine Details
Steel Coil Decoiler With Leveler
The integrated decoiler and leveling unit combines material feeding and flattening in one system, saving space and improving synchronization.
Compared to separated units, it reduces alignment errors and labor. It ensures stable strip feeding, especially critical for thick materials. Optional hydraulic expansion, pressing arm, and higher-capacity configurations are available.
| Power Type | Manual | Steel Coil Width | Max 1250mm |
| Loading Capacity | 5/7/10 Ton | Expanding Range | 460-50mm |
Punch Press & Looping Pit
The servo feeder ensures accurate strip positioning into the punch press, minimizing cumulative errors. The punch press performs high-speed hole punching with consistent precision, critical for rack assembly compatibility.
It supports custom dies for various hole patterns. Higher-tonnage presses or multi-station punching solutions are available depending on production demands.
Roll Forming Machine
The roll forming machine is the core unit for shaping IBR roof panels, using multiple forming stations to gradually form the trapezoidal profile.
It ensures precise dimensions, smooth surface finish, stable operation, and consistent panel quality, making it suitable for continuous, high-efficiency production.
| 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 |
Cutting Device
The flying hydraulic cutting system enables continuous production without stopping the roll forming process. The cutting unit synchronizes with profile speed, achieving precise length control without deformation.
This high-end configuration improves efficiency. Standard stop-cut solutions are also available for lower budget requirements.
| Power Type | Hydraulic cut |
| Power | 5.5Kw |
| Blade Material | Cr12MoV |
| When Cutting | Forming works |
| Length Tolerance | ≤±1mm |
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.
Optional Upgrade —— Punch Line
For the production of heavy duty rack upright profiles, we recommend separating the punching and roll forming processes into two independent lines.
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.
Not always. Flying cut improves efficiency and output. Stop-cut is a more economical option depending on production speed requirements.
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.
